At Holiday Shop for Kids, we make setting up your school holiday shop as easy as possible. The following tips will help make your upcoming school holiday shop an even more considerable success, providing a stress-free, enjoyable experience for everyone.
Book Your School Holiday Shop Early
It is always a great idea to book school holiday shopping programs as soon as possible. Then, you will be able to ensure everyone is prepared to begin with the planning early, properly promoting your holiday shop to both parents and students.
Choose the Right Location
Work hand-hand with your planning committee, choosing an ideal place to set up your school holiday shop. Ensuring you have enough space for the students to view and purchase the items is essential. In addition, you may want to split classes into more manageable groups, providing them with sufficient room to browse and enjoy the school holiday shopping experience.
Work Together
The group running your school holiday shop should always be on the same page, collaborating with everyone involved to ensure a successful experience. This group may include parents, teachers, volunteers, and other types of members. Maintaining an open line of communication between everyone partaking in configuring your school holiday shop helps everything run smoothly.
Don’t Wait Until the Last Minute to Promote Your School Holiday Shop
At Holiday Shop for Kids, we provide you with all the promotional materials necessary to spread the word about your upcoming holiday shop. This includes:
- Free promotional materials
- Flyers
- Posters
- Full-colored parent letters
- Money envelopes
- Self-sealing mylar gift bags in four sizes
- A detailed “How To” guide
But in addition to these promotional materials, it is a good idea to ensure the PTO and all other members involved are made aware of their tasks and any significant dates. Also, sending out the flyers, money envelopes, and parent letters to parents around a month before your holiday shop begins will provide them with ample time to prepare their children for the upcoming event. You may even want to send out another flyer one to two weeks prior to the event.
Sticking posters up in visible areas throughout the school will help keep the upcoming holiday shop fresh in students’ minds. Updating the school website’s event calendar is also a great way to ensure everyone is prepared for the school holiday shop.
