Add a seasonal header photo

Give your header photo some holiday flare and spotlight your seasonal promotions, events, or top products. For example, @Starbucks uses its header photo to showcase its popular seasonal treats atop an evocative seasonal photo.

Include a business location and store hours in your bio

If your business has a brick and mortar shop, be sure to include your location and store hours so customers know when to stop by. Cupcake shop @DvasCakes does a great job at featuring importation and detailed info to make it easier for customers to find them.
