So last year was ummm - well last year. We are moving forward and yeah this election year maybe a li le crunchy again - so let’s make some noise - Love, Peace, & Great marketing can go a long way. Be pro-active. Think local - dream big.
At Gypsy Rose we are dedicated to helping our customers and small business. Your success is our success!In the past year we have seen decreased ocean freight costs and we have passed on those savings where possible to you in this catalog. Sorry domestic freight did go up 5% this year. We continue to expand sizing on requested products. We continue to design and license in exciting new ways and source products requested by customers.
We answer the phones and expedite your order within 24 hours.
We continue to not do business with Amazon resellers, big box retail, or compete with you at festivals and tours.
We are here to help - if you need some ideas - ask us but in the meantime hear are a few - Let’s make some NOISE: -
• Rock The Vote - Host monthly voter registration.
• Know a musician, poet, or artist? O er them a monthly spotlight.
• Utilize free social media - such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, SnapChat.
• If you can a ord a small monthly fee - launch a website - many a ordable, Easy-user friendly sites out there. We recommend Squarespace, Shopify, or Wix.
• Host a podcast at your location or be a guest on a local podcast.
• Continue to o er curbside pick-up.
• Sponsor a community event - for local music, town festival, etc.
• Raise money and/or collect food for a local charity that you love in store.
• Change your mannequins, windows, cases regularly - Keep it interesting - get crafty and have fun.
• Buy 3 new items you never carried before and showcase them - see what happens.
• Try a $5.00 / $10.00 clothing rack or box - some people love to rummage. You could put the sale rack/box outside in front of our store to draw tra c inside your store.
• Make a Sticker and Patch Board. If you have display cases, you can use the outside as your sticker board. You could use heavy ster boards or wood boards, or photo albums. These are great for keeping customers engagement in store.
• Join your local Chamber of Commerce.
• Have Sidewalk Sales
• Cross-promote with local businesses. For example, buy a slice of pizza...get 10% o in-store only. Get involved in your community, let your name be heard. Be enthusiastic! Small business ma ers!!!
Festival Clothing is not a category for us but a way of life - for decades now. We are a second generation family run business with a whole lot of experience and practical knowledge. Have a question or request- just ask. We hope these ideas have been helpful or inspired you to make some noise. May 2024 bring all of you good health, prosperity, peace and joy!!
