While supporting local causes is always a good idea, around the holidays there are more program options. There is also a greater need, as families with low income strive to create a pleasant holiday for their loved ones. Great American Cookies franchisees can support holiday programs in the community by donating product, money, or time to helping the cause. Stores can also help by serving as a collection center for donated goods as well.
Franchise stores can show holiday cheer with decorations. Store employees often get a thrill out being allowed to help with decorations and will put extra effort into making the store really stand out. Decorations are eye-catching, and may draw the attention of customers that normally would not have noticed the store. Decorations also help to promote the holiday spirit. On holidays, franchisees and store employees can dress the part to have a little fun.
