St Patrick’s Day Celebration Ideas For Your Small BusinessSomebody pinch me. March is already here! Now that March has arrived, it is imperative that your small business, no matter what your industry, is prepared to make sales and boost your profits for the upcoming celebrations. Here are a few ideas you can use for your small business.

Clothing Store

It goes without saying that your clothing store should have plenty of green garb on hand for the upcoming holiday. You can offer themed items specifically for St Patrick’s day or even some key statement green pieces that will work well for any spring wardrobe. Remember that variety does make a difference when it comes to increasing sales. Not everyone is into t-shirts and jeans, and some people are green pants or skirts kind of people. Have something for everyone, and your sales will flourish.

Specialty Retail

Depending on what your specialty retail store typically offers, you can do a variety of things to help foster a fun St. Patrick’s day experience for your customers. You can stock specialty items like decorations, disposable plates and napkins, food coloring, green food items, and even gold chocolate coins.

Liquor Store

St Patrick’s day is a day of heavy drinking and celebration, so without a doubt, it is an excellent opportunity to cash in on sales at your liquor store. You should stock up on the obvious items such as Guinness, beer in general, green liquor, and even green food coloring for those that would like to add food coloring to their beverage of choice.

Bakery

What would St. Patrick’s day be without green? Offering a variety of themed desserts and breads will boost sales at your bakery and make you the go-to spot for holiday celebrations in the future. Along with colored and decorative treats, you can also make some traditional Irish baked goods like soda bread and Irish apple cake. Be sure to include allergen-friendly items in your holiday baking selection so that everyone can partake in your delectable.
