there is something more that may help... En pleno mundial de fútbol y con previsión de tener las tiendas desiertas durante el partido… por eso les pedimos a encargados y dependientes que le *metieran caña a la mañana*, a través de mensajes muy futboleros!

Spanish term (edited): Métele caña a la mañana!
Selected

Kick-start your day!


I think I would naturally say 'day' over 'morning' here in English. I feel it's an appropriate rendering for the context too (as in, 'kick start' - kick football).

Another way of putting it would be "Get your day off to a kick start!"
Peer comment(s):

agree Charles Davis : Nice one. I was toying with "Make the morning go with a bang", but quite frankly I prefer this.
