If you know of local events or organizations celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month, promote them in your newsletter or social media.

Seasonal change is a great time for promotions. Whether it’s a fall menu item, a new product launch, or even a cozy fall-themed display, give your customers a reason to stop by.
