Need Opinions- Sat. or Sun for Grandopening?

[heat123]

HI, as I start my new business I am having a Grand Opening but cannot decide what day to hold it on? At first I thought definitely saturday but then started thinking alot goes on for people on sat. like b-day parties, kids sports games, errands, work etc. and thought maybe Sunday would be better for people, usually a day of rest and relaxation (for my family anyways). Which would you do or have done it on sat. or sun?

I will be doing a theme party opening following my Grandopening that Tuesday after just so there is an option of schedule conveniences or those more interested in a theme party. But what do you all think?

Have you thought about holding it on 2 days? You could do a Friday evening and Saturday during the day? I am doing a Vendor Open House like this in November. Good luck!!

As a fellow business owner, I completely understand your dilemma! It can be tough to decide on a day for your grand opening, especially with so many factors to consider. In my experience, Saturday tends to be the busiest day for people, as you mentioned with birthday parties, sports games, and errands. Plus, some people may have to work on Saturdays. Sunday is definitely a more relaxed day, but it's also a day that many people reserve for spending time with family and friends.If I were in your shoes, I would lean towards holding the grand opening on a Sunday. This way, people can come and enjoy your event without feeling rushed or having to choose between other obligations. Plus, having the theme party opening on Tuesday gives people another option if they can't make it on Sunday.Ultimately, it's important to consider your target audience and what day would be most convenient for them. You could also consider sending out a survey or poll on your social media pages to get a better idea of what day would work best for your potential customers. Good luck with your grand opening!
