Tips for Planning Your Grand Opening
Congratulations on the formal grand opening of your new stores, shops and office! Signazon.com knows that holding a grand opening event is the key to promote awareness and interest in the local community effectively, so we do not just offer grand opening banners & signs and free design templates; we also offer many helpful tips, ideas and advice for your grand opening event planning.
1.Plan your grand opening ahead. You’ll want to allow yourself as much as a month to allow ordered grand opening products, supplies and promotional signs to arrive within your time frame. Any delays or kinks in your plans will be best worked out if there is time to do so; last minute planning is still working because we ship grand opening banners fast.
2.Cultivate business to business relationships for your company. Start by contacting the local schools and Chambers of Commerce to establish a relationship. You could sponsor marketing events that need the financial help, it doesn’t require a lot of money but still provides you brand recognition with an attractive sign or banner on the snack table, or with an oversized check using your logo for your donation, even small business like yours can be very popular.
3.Advertise for your company in your retail business like hair salon, spa, fitness, deli etc. You could design vinyl lettering, magnetic signs or full rear window graphics to turn your own commercial vehicles and store window into a free advertisement billboard. Or advertising your business on the vehicles of the employees, the family members or your own. You’ll also need Grand Opening signs and banners, like “Now Open”, “Coming Soon”, “ Grand Opening Sale”, “ Grand Opening Day Special”, posted around the community pointing in your business’ direction, you should have sale signs placed on promotional items, and even signs leading to or hanging over sections in your store to catch your customers’ attention and lead them to the products you want them to see.
4.Great marketing coverage to make a big impression. Using your Grand Opening to make a donation to a worthwhile local charity will capture attention within the community and those benefiting from your donation, for maximum visibility, demonstrate this donation with an oversized check that you keep on display until the end of your event – making the donation near the end of your Grand Opening event will ensure that everyone that comes to your Grand Opening will see how generous you have already been in your community.
Once your Grand Opening event is over, you still have a “honeymoon” period to continue to establish your name and offer Grand Opening deals and discounts for your customers - make the most of it! If you follow these tips, your Grand Opening launch will be the talk of the neighborhood for days, possibly weeks as you establish your business in the community.
