You’ll be so pleased with yourself. You’re already familiar with that feeling, aren’t you? I’m talking about the delight we get in having planned something far enough in advance where we’re well ahead of the curve—outdistancing everybody else—reaching our goals with minimum stress and maximum success.
As small business owners, admittedly, it’s hard to start projects and regularly carve out all the resources needed to rack up significant wins. BUT, it’s not impossible. In fact, here at Small Business Milwaukee, we’ve created some meaningful tools to help you and other business owners get a head start on Holiday 2025 preparations. We’re even starting to think about 2026. It’s our version of Christmas in July.
Several months ago we launched several themed marketing kits—some free, others paid. They’re all meant to make your life easier, your brand more visible, and your planning feel less like a scramble and more like a strategy. Each package, such as our Grand Opening Kit and Mid-Year Business Boost, are packed with ready-to-use content and promotional ideas.
While putting these together, we realized the best thing we could do for you is create more seasonal kits and get them into your hands far in advance of Q4. So, that’s what we’re doing. Our two newest kits are the Small Business Saturday 2025 Marketing Kit and the Gratitude & Giving Marketing Kit (for Thanksgiving, of course). Both are designed to help you make the most of the season—not just in terms of sales, but in how you connect with your customers and community. You’ll find thoughtful content, customizable templates, post-ready captions, easy-to-follow timelines, press releases, even video scripts, to help you make the most of the occasion.
We have more marketing kits planned, such as Holiday Event, 12 Days of Holiday Cheer, Winter Wonder, and more. We feel SO good about these kits, not just because of the content, but because we’re able to provide them to you in plenty of time. We did our planning and now we want to help you do yours! When the busy season hits, you won’t be scrambling—you’ll be ready.
To your calendar, add a reminder to regularly check our Shop page. We’re creating and publishing new kits for you as fast as we can—without compromising quality.
