Get a Head Start on 4/20

Why You Shouldn’t Wait to Celebrate

It’s almost time for the most epic holiday of the year – 4/20! Smoke shop retailers are getting hyped and ready to celebrate. While some may think it’s best to wait until April 20th to start the party, we’re here to tell you that starting your 4/20 promotions early is the way to go!

  1. Build anticipation and excitement By starting your 4/20 promotions early, you have the opportunity to build anticipation and excitement for the holiday. This can help generate buzz and attract customers to your store before the actual day arrives. By creating a sense of excitement around 4/20, you can make your customers feel like they’re part of something special and exclusive.
  2. Stand out from the competition With so many smoke shops competing for business on 4/20, it can be difficult to stand out from the crowd. By starting your promotions early, you can get a head start on the competition and set yourself apart from other retailers. This can help you attract more customers and increase your sales during the holiday.
  3. Offer limited-time deals and promotions Starting your 4/20 celebrations early also gives you the opportunity to offer limited-time deals and promotions. For example, you could offer a discount on smoking accessories for the week leading up to 4/20 or host a special event at your store. By offering exclusive deals and events, you can incentivize customers to shop at your store and create a sense of urgency around the holiday.
  4. Avoid the last-minute rush By spreading out your 4/20 promotions over a longer period of time, you can avoid overcrowding in your store on the big day and ensure that your customers have a positive shopping experience. This can help you build customer loyalty and keep people coming back to your store year after year.

There’s no holiday more prone to mythmaking than Christmas.
