Are you straining your brain for promotional themes for May? No need for a mental muscle pull. Here are some fun ideas to kick start your May sales.
I’m really liking May 6th as “National No Diet Day”. Might be a little outrageous but Athletic Clubs could use this as a get fit promotion. Celebrate No Diet Day then come in and start your fitness routine to maintain a healthy lifestyle not just and endless series of failed diets.
May 11th as “National Eat What You Want Day” can work for restaurants, candy shops, bakeries, ice cream parlors and even grocery stores.
May 23rd is “National Taffy Day”. Watching those taffy pulling machines is fun. Maybe you can rent one and have it in your store for a special sales promotion. Get the summer season started of with “National Grape Popsicle Day” on May 27th.
