November 24 - Business Online Health Checklist, Construction Connect, Stallholer EOI & More!

BUSINESS OPERATING HOURS
Prepare Your Business for the Christmas Season

The festive season is a busy time for locals and visitors, so make sure your customers know exactly when you’re open. Updating your Christmas and New Year operating hours is a simple way to stay visible and avoid missed opportunities.

Keep your information current across all platforms, including:

Website
Google Business Profile
Facebook and Instagram - create a social post listing your business opening days and times over the Christmas and New Year period
Australian Tourism Data Warehouse (ATDW) - connects to websites such as Sydney.com
Online Travel Agents (OTAs) e.g. Booking.com
In store signage

If your Wollondilly business or event is tourism-related and not yet listed, make sure you add it to Visit Wollondilly website - it’s quick, easy and free. Find out more here.

Keeping your information up to date helps customers plan ahead and prevents missed opportunities during this busy period.
