Christmas in July, I Forgot Day, and More Big Dates in July

1 Little known fact: The ZIP in ZIP Code stands for Zone Improvement Plan and was part of an upgrade of the mail system under the Kennedy administration. Mark The Zip Code’s 60th Birthday with an experiment in location-based marketing by choosing a nearby market you don’t normally target in your Facebook or Google ads.

2 Today is the halfway point of the year, which is why it was chosen to host I Forgot Day, a nifty opportunity for people to make up for all the birthdays, anniversaries, new births and graduations they missed in the first six months of the year. Urge your customers to take advantage of this great second bite at the apple to make amends for their oversights.

15 “Give me liberty or give me death … by ice cream.” On National Ice Cream Day, team up with a local ice cream parlor and offer a free cup (less messy than a cone) to anyone who comes in for a summerly browse.

25 Christmas In July. Yes, it’s 91 degrees outside, the last piece of music anyone wants to hear is Silent Night, but these sales work. Do you have any old stock to move as you begin initial preparations for the winter holiday period?

Retiring? Let Wilkerson Do the Heavy Lifting

Retirement can be a great part of life. As Nanji Singadia puts it, “I want to retire and enjoy my life. I’m 78 now and I just want to take a break.” That said, Nanji decided that the best way to move ahead was to contact the experts at Wilkerson. He chose them because he knew that closing a store is a heavy lift. To maximize sales and move on to the next, best chapter of his life, he called Wilkerson—but not before asking his industry friends for their opinion. He found that Wilkerson was the company most recommended and says their professionalism, experience and the homework they did before the launch all helped to make his going out of business sale a success. “Wilkerson were working on the sale a month it took place,” he says. “They did a great job.”
