Summer's over...now what?

The kids are back in school and summer is basically over.  Temperatures are cooling down and we start to look at things to be done around the house.  Perhaps it is time to finally organize the garage?

This weekend, Simcoe North will be promoting its garage organization system at 2 locations!

  • Barrie Automotive Flea Market at Burl's Creek Family Event Park (between Barrie and Orillia)

  • The New Barrie Fall Home Show at Garden Gallery, Hwy. 90 and Cty. Road 27, Barrie  FREE ADMISSION!
Come join us at one of the locations to learn more about our systems.  In addition, the automotive flea market is perfect for the car enthusiast and the home show features lots of local businesses that can assist you with all your home improvements and decorating needs. You can even pick up your fall mums at the same time!

108 days left....

It's official!  Christmas is only 108 days away.

Holiday shopping season is approaching quickly!  How will you make your store stand out?  Will you decorate the store windows with fake snow or holiday pictures?  Will you decorate your shop with Christmas trees, garland or other decorations?  Perhaps you will play holiday themed music?

Another way to keep that spirit going is to wrap or package purchases in holiday themed products such as red and green tissue paper, ribbon, printed holiday bags or holiday gift wrap.

For those that give gifts to employees or business associates, you may wish to look at reusable bags as gift wrap.  These bags come customized with your logo and are a great addition to a gift basket, or as packaging for the gift itself - think custom wine bags!

Whatever you choose, most store owners find decorating for the holidays helps the potential customer get "in the holiday spirit," a mindset that tends to lead to increased purchases thus increased revenue for you!

With the days quickly counting down, its time to order bags and supplies now for best selection and to ensure your custom orders (reusable bags) arrive in time.
