Marketing and Content Ideas for August
With August upon us, we enter into the last months of summer, and peak time for hurricane season here in Florida. If you’re looking for marketing ideas on how to end the summer season with a bang, these tips should help make your business a hot spot in August.
Back-to-School Sale
With a new school year about to start, now is the best time to offer a back-to-school special. By adding a coupon to your email newsletter or in a social media advertisement, you can incentivize customers to get everything they need from you before they get it elsewhere.
If you have a Minecraft-loving child, check out our client, Zack Zombie for their award-winning book series, Diary of a Minecraft Zombie.
Senior Citizens Day
August 21st is National Senior Citizens Day so take this day to show appreciation for the contributions of the senior citizens in your community. You can do this in a number of ways, such as; offering a senior discount for the day at your restaurant, or doing a spotlight on the achievements of one of your senior citizen customers in your next email marketing campaign.
National Dog Day
Celebrate your 4-legged bestie on August 26th for National Dog Day. Celebrate by having a “bring your doggie to work day”, like our office bestie, Bella or even have a doggie treat giveaway at your local restaurant.
(we know the doggie pics on Instagram are ALWAYS a huge hit!)
Travel & Staycation Trips
Share a list of local events, parks, and staycation locations where people can safely enjoy some fresh end-of-summer sunshine. I know here in Palm Beach County, a lot of resorts offer “off-season” local discounts, so be sure to take advantage of those and promote them to your long-time customers. Also, partner with like-minded small businesses to promote local and family summer fun outdoors.
