A Mid-Year Gift for Small Businesses and How You Can Help
When the summer sun is high and the lemonade is flowing, most people aren't thinking about Christmas—but for small businesses like Simply Hand Crafted with Love, Christmas in July is a season all its own. It’s more than just a fun excuse to bring out the glitter and garland a little early—it’s a lifeline for makers, crafters, and small shop owners who pour heart and soul into everything they create.
Let’s unwrap why Christmas in July matters—and how you can be part of the magic.
Why Christmas in July Matters for Small Businesses
1. A Mid-Year Boost in Sales
For handmade and seasonal businesses, summer can be a slow season. Hosting a Christmas in July sale brings a much-needed boost during the mid-year lull, helping makers cover expenses, reinvest in materials, and prepare for the busy fall and holiday season ahead.
2. A Chance to Showcase New Creations
Christmas in July is the perfect opportunity to introduce new holiday items, offer sneak peeks, and test out what customers love most. For Simply Hand Crafted with Love, it’s a joyful time to share early access to handmade ornaments, gifts, and cozy creations you’ll want to grab before the holiday rush.
3. Shopping Handmade Means Shopping with Purpose
Every purchase from a small handmade business is a direct investment in someone’s dream. When you shop during Christmas in July, you're not just getting a unique gift—you’re helping an artist keep doing what they love.
How You Can Support Small Businesses During Christmas in July
🎁 Shop Early & Often
Beat the holiday chaos by grabbing gifts now! Whether you're stocking up on handmade ornaments, greeting cards, or cozy crochet sets, your early purchases help small businesses stay afloat and get ahead of the busy season.
🛒 Share the Joy
Love a small shop? Share it! Post about your favorite finds, tag the maker, or leave a kind review. Word of mouth is one of the most powerful ways to help handmade businesses grow.
🎨 Join the Fun
Engage with giveaways, games, and special offers. Many small businesses (like me!) host creative events and interactive challenges all month long to spread cheer and say thank you for your support.
💬 Be a Cheerleader
Even if you're not shopping, your encouragement matters. A simple like, comment, or kind word on a post can brighten a maker's day and boost their visibility.
Handmade Joy, All Year Long
At Simply Hand Crafted with Love, Christmas in July is one of our favorite times of year. It's a celebration of creativity, connection, and community. Whether you're picking up a one-of-a-kind resin ornament, stocking up on holiday cards, or just stopping by to say hi, you’re part of something meaningful.
So this July, let’s celebrate a little early. Let’s support the dreamers, the makers, the doers. Because handmade gifts aren’t just for December—they’re for every season.
🎄 Shop small. Give with heart. Celebrate Christmas in July. 🎄
