Winter sale flyer

Kestrel Ridge Outfitters sells insulation to a town that sits at 435 metres, and its stocktake runs four days over the Kings Birthday long weekend. One flyer splits the shop into four categories with a discount against each. One works as a checklist of what a June kit actually contains. The third exists because the holiday falls on a different date in almost every state and the shop would rather print the Victorian one than assume.

The 3 designs

The same business laid out three ways, on three templates and three colour themes. Every price, name and time on these was written for this example, so you can judge the layouts on real content rather than placeholder text.

A shop floor of winter outdoor gear in a converted brick warehouse, racks of insulated jackets and a wall of plain hiking boots, a folded pile of merino base layers on a timber table, cold grey daylight through tall windows, every wall and shelf completely blank, wide horizontal framing, no people, no text, no signage

Ballarat sits at 435 metres and June mornings run close to zero, which is why half of what leaves this shop in winter is a layer rather than a jacket. The stocktake covers the things that actually get used between June and August in the central highlands: insulation, waterproof shells, wool next to skin, and a mat that keeps the ground from taking your heat back. Anything reduced was on the floor at its old price through March, April and May, so the saving is measured against a price we really charged.

WINTER STOCKTAKE 2026

Four days, then it stops

Friday 5 June to Monday 8 June, the Kings Birthday long weekend in Victoria.

The Kings Birthday holiday falls on a different date in nearly every state, so a sale advertised as running over the long weekend has to name the date it means. In Victoria that is Monday 8 June 2026. Western Australia keeps its version in September and Queensland in October, and a Ballarat shop that quotes the wrong one has a customer at the door on the wrong day. These are the hours the shop is actually open, not the hours a shopping centre publishes.

1

Open on the holiday

Monday 8 June, 9am to 5pm. Victoria restricts trading on three days only, Good Friday, Christmas Day and Anzac Day until 1pm. The Kings Birthday is not one of them.

2

Held, not extended

The tickets come off at 5pm on the Monday. If a line sells out before then it is not restocked at the sale price, and we will not paper over it with a raincheck we cannot honour.

3

Fit and return

Sale stock carries the same consumer guarantees as full price stock. A jacket sold as waterproof that leaks is a fault, and a fault is repaired, replaced or refunded.

What makes these work

Four categories, four numbers, no averaging

Jackets thirty, boots twenty five, layers twenty, camp sleeping up to forty. Splitting them apart means the poster never has to hide behind a single headline percentage, and each card has room for the one technical fact that justifies the price, such as fill power or the tested comfort rating rather than the extreme figure printed on the box.

The checklist sheet is written for the climate, not the season

It names the altitude, the months and the four things that leave the shop most in winter. A shopper in Ballarat reading a paragraph about the central highlands is being told the shop knows where it is, which no amount of stock photography achieves.

The third flyer treats the public holiday as content

It states the Victorian date, notes that Western Australia and Queensland keep theirs in September and October, and lists the three days Victoria actually restricts trading. That turns a line of small print into the most shared thing on the page.

Questions people ask

When is the Kings Birthday holiday in each state?

It moves. The Fair Work list names the sovereign’s birthday as a national public holiday on the day it is celebrated in each state or territory, so in 2026 Victoria, New South Wales, the ACT, South Australia, Tasmania and the Northern Territory take it on Monday 8 June, Western Australia on Monday 28 September and Queensland on Monday 5 October. A flyer that says long weekend without a date is useless outside one state.

Which days does Victoria restrict retail trading?

Three. All day on Good Friday and Christmas Day, and until 1pm on Anzac Day. Easter Sunday has not been a restricted trading day in Victoria since 2011. Exempt shops such as chemists, service stations and eating houses can trade on the restricted days, as can shops under the staffing size test in the Shop Trading Reform Act.

Do consumer guarantees still apply to sale stock?

Yes, in full. A discounted jacket sold as waterproof still has to be waterproof, and a fault means a repair, a replacement or a refund depending on how serious it is. A sale sign does not shorten the guarantee period, and a shop cannot sign it away with a no refunds on sale items notice.

Should a sale flyer promise a raincheck?

Only if the shop will honour one. Advertising a sale price on stock that is available in very limited quantities is misleading unless the shop is upfront that supply is short or the offer is time limited. Saying twelve jackets exist and there is no restock is both accurate and far more urgent than a raincheck nobody intends to write.
