Your guide to shining bright this season — locally.

The holiday season in Kenmore is officially here, and with it comes cozy cafés, glowing storefronts, festive community events, and neighbors who truly love supporting local. It’s one of the best times of the year to boost visibility, drive traffic, and connect with your audience in meaningful (and magical) ways.

Whether you’re a shop owner, café, fitness studio, salon, artisan, or service-based business, here are the best ways to market your business during the holidays — right here in our village.

🎁 1. Launch Your Holiday Menu or Seasonal Offerings

People LOVE seasonal specials. Whether it’s a peppermint mocha, a winter-themed workout class, holiday candles, or limited-edition merch, this is prime time to introduce something new.

Pro tip:
Create a simple graphic announcing your holiday menu and pin it to your social profiles for easy reference.

🛍️ 2. Participate in KBA’s “Stop, Sip, & Shop”

The Kenmore Business Association’s signature holiday event continues to grow every year — and for good reason.

Shoppers come ready to explore, buy, and support the amazing small businesses that make Kenmore sparkle. Participating puts your business right in front of an audience intentionally choosing to shop local.

✨ 3. Decorate Your Storefront (It Matters More Than You Think!)

A festive storefront does more than look cute in photos — it stops people in their tracks.

Lights, ribbons, garland, window paint, themed displays… go for it. People want to feel the magic, and when your business radiates holiday energy, they’re far more likely to walk in.

📣 4. Share (and Re-Share!) Your Holiday Hours

Holiday hours can be confusing, and customers won’t visit if they’re unsure you’re open.

Make sure your hours are:

Updated on Google
Posted clearly on your door
Shared in a graphic and pinned to the top of your profiles
Added to your website

The easier the info is to find, the better.

🎄 5. Host Holiday Events or Community Drives

The most successful businesses in Kenmore prioritize community — and events are the perfect way to bring people together.

Ideas include:

Holiday cookie or ornament decorating workshops
Charity drives (food, coats, socks, toys, etc.)
Seasonal photo ops
Small business shopping nights
Holiday giveaways

Events build brand loyalty and attract new customers who may not have visited before.

📸 6. Invest in High-Quality Photos & Videos

This is the season of scroll-stopping content.

If you want people to show up, buy, and share your business, your visuals matter. A clean, bright, festive photo can make all the difference — and short-form video is still the top-performing content across every platform.

If you need help capturing professional, on-brand holiday content, that’s where Kenmore Media shines. 😉

🎁 7. Create Holiday Bundles or Gift Guides

Make shopping easier for customers by bundling gifts or curating themed kits. Gift guides perform extremely well on social media.

Ideas:

Teacher gifts
Hostess gifts
“For Him,” “For Her,” or “For the Reader/Coffee Lover/Artist”
Kenmore-themed bundles

Publish a guide and watch it get shared.

💚 8. Highlight Your Commitment to Community

Whether you’re donating to a charity, supporting a drive, or partnering with another Kenmore business, your customers want to see your heart.

This village loves businesses who care — and during the holidays, that story becomes even more powerful.

🎉 9. Celebrate Your Customers

Holiday marketing isn’t just about selling. It’s about gratitude.

Share a thank-you post. Create a customer appreciation giveaway. Celebrate milestones. Let your audience know how much their loyalty means to you.

A little gratitude goes a long way.
