More than 60 million Hispanic Americans call the U.S. home, and just like everyone else, they rely on retail stores for shopping. At Douglas Stewart, we recognize that September is Hispanic Heritage Month, and we want to help others celebrate by calling out some ways you can support Hispanic Heritage Month in your retail store! Keep reading to find easy and simple ways you can uplift the Hispanic community in your area.
Start a Donation Campaign
One way you can celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month is by organizing a donation campaign to support and empower the Hispanic community. Find local non-profits, organizations, or charities in your area that work to uplift the Hispanic community and donate a percentage of your monthly profits to them. This is a great way to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month while uplifting your local community!
Host an Educational Event
Educational events centered around Hispanic Heritage Month can be an informative and entertaining way to celebrate and draw in customers. Consider hosting a workshop, presentation, or game night that enlightens attendees to aspects of Hispanic culture and history that they might not have known otherwise.
Play Latin Music
Music is a universal language we can all speak, and playing Latin music is a great way to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. Incorporating this music can help your Hispanic/Latino audience lean into your retail business and shows listeners that you support Hispanic art and culture.
Celebrate on Social Media
Take to your store’s social media pages to celebrate! Share posts highlighting Hispanic culture, recipes, facts, or customer experiences. You can also incorporate hashtags into your post – like #HispanicHeritageMonth – to make your posts more visible.
