Checklist
What to put on a holiday hours sign
Five things that stop customers from making a wasted trip.
| Include | Why |
|---|---|
| A headline people read from the parking lot | HOLIDAY HOURS or CLOSED FOR THE HOLIDAY in the biggest letters on the page. |
| The exact dates, with the weekday | "Thu, Dec 24" leaves no room for doubt. "Christmas Eve" alone makes people count on their fingers. |
| Hours for every changed day | Early closings and late openings matter as much as the days you are shut. |
| When you are back | The first thing a customer at a locked door wants to know is when to come back. |
| Where to check for changes | A website or phone number covers last-minute changes, like weather or a sold-out day. |
Tips
Tips for holiday hours customers actually see
A sign on the door is one place. These cover the others.
01
Put it up a week early
Regulars plan holiday shopping ahead. A sign that goes up the night before only reaches the people who were coming anyway.
02
Update Google too
Add special hours for each holiday in your Google Business Profile, so Search and Maps do not send people to a closed door.
03
Post the square version
Download the square or story format and share it on Instagram and Facebook a week ahead and again the day before.
04
Tape one by the register
Customers who see the sign while they pay remember it. One on the door and one at the counter covers both.
