Therefore, you should also make creations on the products and services that you have. Make special offers targeted to families so that there will be more potential customers who are interested in shopping.
 
3. Create a promotion related to the fasting month
Indonesia is a country that has the most Muslim population in the world so that you have a great potential to offer various promos during the fasting month. These promotions can be in the form of discounts, product bonuses, to donation programs obtained from the sale. To attract customers, try to make promotional content as creative as possible which you can then post on the store as well as social media and websites.
 
4. Adjustment of operating hours
When fasting, of course someone will wake up earlier than usual because they have to do sahur. So during the month of Ramadan, you should make adjustments to the store operating schedule. This is important so that you and your team who are fasting can still work optimally. To adjust the store’s operating hours, you can open and close the shop early so that each staff can go home early and break fast with the family.
 
5. Prepare for Holiday Allowance
Getting a Holiday Allowance aka THR is the right of every employee. Therefore, you need to prepare it from now. Pay attention to your business finances and do a THR calculation on each staff. When giving THR, you also need to calculate the right time. Do not let, the THR was only given when approaching Lebaran Day. At the very least, the THR is obtained one week before Lebaran so that it can be used to prepare for the Eid celebration with the family.
