In-house MagazinesWith technology these days, it is mad for your small business not to have an in-house magazine.
All the little options available: 1. Florist - 'In Bloom' magazine can include ideas such as: - how to decorate your house; - designing your own bridal bouquet - how do you extract oil from your lavender plaint; - how to make tea; - which plants are edible; and - other wonderful things you can do with your dying plants. TIP: A little drop of lavender in your hot tub is wonderful! Also some private health insurance companies allow you to claim for essential oils. 2. Haberdashery store: - a monthly pattern (knitwear or embroidery) - dates for quilt-making sessions (or knitting sessions) - tricks of the trade in pattern making. - monthly competitions. 3. Fruit shop: - how to turn paprika into paprika powder - how to make jam - how to keep your vegetables for longer |
In-house EventsI tend to find stores that offer educational benefits do so much better than a store that offers just the goods. I have benefitted in the past from a camera store that offered lunch-time sessions on how to get the most from your camera, etc. Here's another alternative: Music store: A lecture from a songwriter on how to get those lyrics down; where the musician finds inspiration, tips of the trade. Or Just a conversation with an artist or someone in the industry. Why don't you...Create a signature dish (biscuit, drink, chocolate, cake) for your store. (24/365) |
