Hi Local Leadership Teams,
Â
As the Holiday season is upon us, it's essential that we keep our customers informed about store hours. Please remember to update your Facebook pages with any days that your store will be
closed. I would also recommend "pinning" the post to the top of the page so it is the first thing visitors see.
Â
To make this process easier for you, we have provided all stores with access to our professional and free Canva account. Canva is a user-friendly design platform that allows you to create attractive designs for your Facebook
pages. If you're not familiar with Canva or need more information on how to access it please let me know.
Â
Please pass this information on to the person maintaining your Facebook page. Alternatively, I can create a graphic and post it on your store's behalf for any upcoming closings. I'd love to help; just ask!
Â
Please let me know the specific dates you will be closed, and I will update your Google My Business page. This will alert customers and donors when they "Google" your business or try get directions from their phone that you are closed. Thousands of potential customers and donors look us up via Google every month!
Â
Keeping our customers and donors informed about our store hours will help them plan and avoid any inconvenience and frustration.Â
Â
There have been some reports of grammatical and spelling errors on Facebook posts. Please make sure to
double-check, or even better, use Grammarly (which is free to use), to check grammar and spelling. The internet is often the initial source customers and donors turn to for information, and it is crucial that we present ourselves in a polished and professional manner.
Â
Thank you to each one of you for the way you lead our stores and our
volunteers. I wish you a fantastic Thanksgiving!
Â
Blessings,
Jessica Bruinsma
Regional Director
