Tips for a Successful Sidewalk Sale
TIP #1
Make it festive with balloons and banners to attract attention to your store.
TIP #2
Shoppers need to be able to instantly understand your pricing. Make it easy for shoppers – show both the original price and marked down price. Then they will know what type of deal they are getting.
TIP #3
Product in a sidewalk sale should be product you want to GO – mark it down 40% -60% as a sale markdown.
TIP #4
Choose your staff working the sidewalk sale wisely- they should be looking like their having, smiling and interacting with customers.
JULY 2017
Bloor West Village StreetFest & Sidewalk Sale Saturday, July 15, 2017
Replacing the Village’s annual KidsFest, StreetFest is an expanded festival for all ages! The hustle and bustle will begin early in the morning to set up for what will be one of the highlights of the summer for neighbourhood residents! The street will be lined with tents as an outdoor marketplace takes over Bloor Street for shoppers to indulge. Children’s activities will overflow onto specialty themed side streets. As the sun sets, the street will be transformed into an Artisan Night Market and Buskers will bring an element of bold excitement.
The street closure will be from Armadale to Runnymede. We encourage all businesses to participate – if your business is located on a side street and wish to participate on Bloor Street, please contact our new event coordinator Mary Isaacs
