Giving Out Treats

Today is Halloween.

Some of your customers
are likely to be
HUGE Halloween lovers
(like myself).

They will dress up
in costumes
or in orange and black
or in Halloween-themed shirts
to shop in your business.

They might dress their pets up.
They might bring their kids
in their costumes.

Ensure you have treats
to give them.

Hide them under the counter
if you wish
and bring them out
‘as a surprise.’

It will delight them.
It will delight others.
They are more likely
to show up in costume
next year.

AND it creates an ‘event’
for you.
It creates buzz.
It creates happiness.

Give the Halloween lovers
treats today.

Let People Have Fun Today

There’s a lot
of serious sh*t
happening in the world.

People are struggling
emotionally.

If it doesn’t
directly harm your business,
let people have fun today.

Ignore the employee
who arrived in costume
without permission.

Let employees play
the spooky music
in your store.

Give employees
some time
in the break room
to enjoy the treats
their coworker brought in.

Allow the non-service doggy
in costume
to enter the store.

Let everyone blow off some steam
and have some fun.

Tomorrow,
you can get back
to serious business.
