…along with cheerleaders, footballs, mascots, and flags. Yeah…Homecoming’s coming up…for many schools it is within the next few weeks. What does Homecoming mean for a business? Well, I’m glad you asked! 
What do people like to buy around Homecoming? Well, where we are, it’s anything red, white, and/or with a gamecock…including items that you can use as promotions. Balsa or plastic fliers, megaphones, noise makers, pompoms, and t-shirts in school colors…all of which can easily be imprinted with your information.
If Homecoming is very soon in your area…it is still possible to get some promotions ready. There are rush items available, and with overnight air shipping they can be at your door in as little as five days. If it’s THIS week…well then here are a few ideas:
- Set up a face painting stand near the entrance of the football game (inside if allowed)
- Have t-shirts/vinyl yard signs made locally if possible
- Have spirit signs painted, or paint them yourself, and post them in the store window (or ask the school…come spirit squads will make them for you)
Maybe this will help you get ready for the influx of school spirit around Homecoming…and reap the rewards!
