Christmas is not far away and it’s time to start think about alerting clients to your trading hours during the Christmas and New Year break. If you’re a client of Geelong website company GOOP Digital you’ve got one of the most affordable and effective methods available to promote your festive season trading hours.
The easiest way to keep your clients in the picture about your special hours during the holiday season is by including the information on your website.
And how do you display that information on your website? Well, if you’re a GOOP Digital client we’ll have shown you how to edit your business hours but, in case you’ve forgotten, here’s a quick refresher.
There are two ways to display special hours in your GOOP Digital website, depending on your site’s structure.
One method is via GOOP Digital’s Addresses plug in which includes a section for special business hours, such as Christmas and New Year.
The other way, if your website doesn’t have our Addresses plug-in, is to add the business hours to your Contact page.
How you know whether you have the Addresses plug-in in your website? Easy. If you see the word “Addresses” under the word “Dashboard” in your website’s dashboard then you have the plug-in. If you don’t see it, then you don’t have it and you just have to log into your Contact page and add a message there. We’ll show you how to add special hours using both systems.
Adding special hours with the Addresses plug-in
Log into your website’s dashboard and click on the Addresses plug-in link.
When the plug-in opens, scroll down to the Special notes section. Add your Christmas-New Year trading hours details in the Special notes section. You can either type straight into the Special notes field or paste in a message you’ve written earlier.
Once you’ve added your message just click on Update and you’re done. Just remember to log in after you return from the holiday break and remove the message.
Still not sure? Just follow the video below.
Adding special hours to your Contact page
If you don’t have the Addresses plug-in, log into your website’s dashboard, click on Pages and find the Contact page.
Click on Edit and then add your Christmas-New Year trading hours where you want the message to appear. You can either type straight into the page or paste a message you wrote earlier. You can add a heading as well, if you want.
When you’re done, just click on Update. That’s it. Again, just remember to log-in after the holidays and remove the Christmas-New Year information.
Watch the video below if you’re uncertain how to proceed.
If you want, GOOP Digital can change your hours for you – but there is a fee attached. Have a go and spend the money on yourself!
