That is an awesome idea about the package special. I think we may put something together like that here.
We also have the 'we sell boxes' display by the road with a red, blinking light that has really caught peoples attention. And we bought bright orange construction paper and posted our box prices in large print and placed them in our front window, this has increased our visibility for moving supplies. Chateau has a "Moving & Packing Supplies" banner that works nicely on the front of our office.
One other thing we advertise is if a customer buys in bulk, we give a small discount, usually 10%. But that is only if they are purchasing entire bundles of certain sizes. This has helped greatly. When we took over this facility merchandise totals per month were around $200-300. We now average between $1000-1200 per month. Not to shabby of an increase.
Hope this helps!
