We had an amazing holiday season, and as expected, things naturally slow down a bit after the new year. That said, we’re happy to report that MSC has been busier than anticipated, and with all the events, promotions, and plans we have lined up, we’re continuing to work hard to attract new customers and keep them coming back.
Now is an important reminder for all of us:
Just because the holidays are over doesn’t mean marketing stops.
Whether you have a large booth or a small kiosk, you have a storefront here – your business has a home at Market Street Creatives. This is the time of year when we should all start turning up the heat on our individual marketing efforts.
At a minimum, this means:
- Posting regularly on your social media
- Sharing your products, process, story, classes, or promotions
- Reminding your audience that you’re HERE and OPEN
While we continue to market MSC as a whole, imagine the impact if every vendor posted about their business even once a day. The combined reach would be huge – and that visibility directly translates into foot traffic through our doors.
Think about a traditional mall like Buckland Hills. The mall runs marketing to get people in the door, but each store also markets independently to bring customers into its space. Market Street Creatives works the same way.
MSC is the mall – you are the stores.
We’ve built something truly special here: a collaborative, creative, supportive community. Let’s keep that momentum going.
“Turning Up the Heat” Ideas
Now is the perfect time to get creative:
- Run a contest or giveaway
- Host a class or demo
- Do a grand (or re) opening
- Put an item or collection on sale
- Sponsor or participate in an event
And if you’re feeling stuck or unsure where to start, reach out to Abby or Erick. We’re more than happy to help you brainstorm ideas that can drive traffic to your space.
Just because retail normally slows down after the holidays doesn’t mean it has to be our norm.
At MSC, we get to create our own normal.
Let’s work together, support one another, and crank up our marketing efforts to keep driving traffic to the incredible shopping experience we’ve all helped build.
We’re here to collaborate, support, and help ensure that 2026 is a year to remember as we grow our businesses together.
