Alright, let’s talk about Memorial Day Weekend, y’all—the unofficial kickoff to summer, the time when grills get fired up, lawn chairs come out of hibernation, and half of Redmond is Googling things like, “best deals near me” while chewing on a burnt hot dog.
But while everyone’s getting ready for their three-day weekend, you, the small business owner, need to be getting ready for something else—a spike in online searches, foot traffic, and buying behavior. Because whether you sell furniture, flip burgers, fix brakes, or run a med spa, if your business ain’t showing up in search results during Memorial Day weekend, you’re missing out on one of the hottest retail moments of the year.
This is your moment. And there’s one tool that’ll put your business in front of people right when they’re ready to buy: Google Ads.
Let’s get into how Redmond businesses can use Google Ads to get noticed, get clicked, and get paid this Memorial Day.
Here’s the deal—people don’t just browse during Memorial Day weekend. They buy.
They’ve got time. They’ve got money. They’ve got a reason (“holiday sale”) to justify buying a patio set, booking a laser hair removal session, or finally calling someone to haul away that junk pile in the backyard.
And you know where they’re looking first?
Not in the newspaper.
Not on a billboard.
On Google.
They’re typing in searches like:
“Memorial Day sales Redmond”
“Best local deals this weekend”
“Last-minute weekend plans Redmond”
“Redmond restaurants open Memorial Day”
“Oil change discounts near me”
So if you’re not showing up in those results?
Man, you’re just letting that traffic pass you by like someone merging without looking.
Let’s keep it simple. Here’s why Google Ads crush it for Memorial Day weekend promotions:
✅ Instant Visibility
SEO is the long game, but Google Ads? That’s your short game. Your ad can go live today and start driving traffic in minutes.
✅ Targeting That Hits Different
You can aim your ads directly at people in Redmond, or even specific zip codes. You can choose people searching within 5 miles of your storefront. You can even pick based on what they’re interested in. You’re not just throwing darts—you’re throwing laser-guided missiles.
✅ Customizable for Promotions
Got a Memorial Day discount? Google Ads lets you highlight that deal, add a clickable coupon, or run a countdown timer. It's like a digital megaphone for your sale.
✅ You Control the Budget
Don’t wanna blow the whole marketing budget on one weekend? You don’t have to. You set the cap. You pay per click. And if it’s not working, you can pause it in real time.
Redmond ain’t just Microsoft’s backyard—it’s full of people who love convenience and care about quality. When they search, they’re not just looking for a deal. They’re looking for local.
Google Ads lets you hit ‘em where they’re already looking:
🗺️ Google Maps
🔍 Google Search
📺 YouTube
📩 Gmail
📱 Mobile apps
Imagine someone sitting at Victor’s sipping coffee and Googling “Redmond Memorial Day brunch.” Boom—your ad shows up, and suddenly they’re booking a table at your place.
That’s not magic—that’s marketing done right.
Short answer: pretty much all of ‘em. But here are a few that can really cash in:
🛋️ Furniture stores & home goods – People are shopping for patios, sofas, grills
🚗 Auto shops – They want that oil change before the road trip
🏖️ Salons & spas – Self-care deals always do well during holiday weekends
🍽️ Restaurants – Especially ones offering holiday brunch or takeout
🎨 Local events & experiences – Tours, art shows, live music
🧹 Home services – Junk removal, cleaning, landscaping—stuff people want done before guests come over
Even B2B businesses can get some traction here. Just frame your promotion right—“Holiday Week Deal for New Clients” or “Memorial Day Tax Help” if you’re a CPA.
Let’s break it down into simple steps:
Add urgency. Think:
“Memorial Day Weekend Special – 20% Off All Appointments”
“Buy One Get One Free – Friday to Monday Only!”
People love a deal, but they need a reason to act now.
Google Ads lets you add extras like:
A phone number (so they can call right away)
Location info (to pull up Google Maps)
Site links (to see your services, menu, or booking form)
This is how you turn a boring text ad into a money magnet.
