If you want to be seen as a business with credibility during the winter months, capitalize on the amenities you offer customers.

In your campaigns, both online and offline, create a buzz around the fact that you’re offering amenities and services nobody else is. Talk about how clean the air in your shop is thanks to your air purification system; talk about how great your employees are because they’re trained by the best; talk about how you offer free hot chocolate to everybody who comes in the door. Gimmicks work. You’ve just gotta find the right one.

If you want to increase your business during the cold season, you best be capitalizing on the holidays like nobody’s business. People eat that stuff up. The skies may be gloomy and they might be crying white, fluffy tears of hell in your eyes, but when push comes to shove, the holidays represent a lot of positive things and people are all about it.

If you make the season a big deal for your business and you market the crap out of it on all platforms, you will have people coming in the door and being excited simply because you’re excited. Christmas cheer is contagious. Remember that. Also, people are more apt to spend during the holiday season…as long as for the cause.
