16 It’s Father’s Day, and all over America, fathers are practicing that look — the one of thrilled surprise when dear old Dad receives his third cigar cutter. This year, encourage kids to give their dads a real surprise: A little ticking something from Tag Heuer, Fossil, Seiko or Rolex should do the trick.

19 World Sauntering Day was created as an antidote to our rushed, anxiety-riddled modern world. Encourage your customers to help revive this lost Victorian art by wandering over to your store for a morning of relaxed browsing. Five percent discount for every customer carrying a parasol.

21 What was once considered an act of teenage vanity has now become a powerful marketing tool. Ahead of National Selfie Day, draw up a strategy to get your customers to take more photos of themselves showing off their new jewelry or of themselves in front of that witty sandwich board outside your store (or any background featuring your business name). Let the reach of Facebook, Instagram and Twitter do the rest.

28 On National Food Truck Day, team up with a particularly popular operator and lure the hungry crowds with an offer of a free gourmet burger or cheesy fries with any purchase or repair ticket.

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.”
