Christmas is coming and every small business owner is doing the best to make the most of the shopping season. 

I know when I had a shop, the sales over the month of December were the difference between us having a successful year or not!

An eyecatching Christmas window display is a must to boost your footfall and catch the eye of passers by but what are the benefits of adding Christmas window painting as well? 

Below I am going to outline 5 reasons you need Christmas window painting for your shopfront. 

1. It instantly places you as a Christmas shopping destination!

Whether your Christmas offering is gorgeous gifts, lunches whilst out shopping or beauty services for those Christmas parties, painting a Christmas display makes it very clear that you are a destination over the Christmas period. 

2. It makes you more inviting to new customers

If someone has been thinking of checking you out for a while now and sees a beautiful and inviting Christmas window, this could likely be the push they need to come in and finally check you out. 

This is the perfect season to make a great first impression and being a time when customers have money to spend, the most profitable time!

3. It makes you stand out against your competitors.

Imagine if you are looking for somewhere to lunch or squeeze in a quick browse before the bus. One place has a Christmas window, one place doesn't. Which one are you going to choose?

4. It spreads Christmas cheer to your community

It's not all about money. Christmas is a time of goodwill and spreading happiness. Imagine how nice it will be to make your little corner of the world a little more joyful this Christmas. 

5. You can use it to advertise offers or special products

It's so darn hard to make people notice that offer or new product you've spent days and nights getting ready. Don't let all that effort go to waste. Spell it out boldly with some professional lettering or a fun illustration.
