Summer of 2020 was the greatest bummer of all. It was right around that time when we started locking ourselves at home all at the same time throwing away all of our great summer plans. This year, surely, people are looking forward to making the best out of the summer season.
From a business perspective, summertime could pose as a lean period with low sales and revenue. But for many others, it could be the busiest time for them all. This holds true especially for companies that offer vacation services such as hotels, beach resorts, theme parks, and the like. This goes the same way for businesses that sell summer-essentials such as sunblock, anti-UV rays cosmetics, and other skin essentials.
You may be thinking that your brand may not exactly be the right fit for this season - but in order to stay relevant, you need to cross out that thinking and instead start working on plans and strategies to stay relevant regardless of the season. In this blog, we will share with you some important tips to get you ahead of the curve, no matter what season it is!
Create a seasonal strategic marketing plan
While summer may not be your best season for sales, it’s good to still create a holistic plan ahead. Work on your strengths, and make sure to be relatable and adapt to the season. Create a campaign for your social media, website, and other online channels that can highlight your products. Try to also formulate a sale event or giveaway, because that is absolutely something that people cannot resist.
For brands that are considered summer-essentials, this is your time to triple your sale and revenue so make the most out of the season. Invest in digital advertising like Facebook ads, Instagram ads, or Google ads to show your brand to a broader audience and thereby increasing your visibility and revenue. Aside from developing your organic content, you should definitely try doing paid ads so you can reach people with the most potential to purchase your products.
Increase visibility and influence brand consideration
During summer, social media activity is doubled in number compared to other seasons. People go online to check on the best vacation deals they can find, or the best beach spot they can go to. It’s during this time that people actively share their summer trips or post the places they are planning to go to next.
This surge in online activity is an opportunity you should definitely grab. Take this time to increase your brand recall and visibility by continuously posting about your brand, running awareness ads on your social media channels, or implementing your marketing strategies to further your brand consideration. When people go online, make sure to be there to cater to them. Competition is tough online so make sure to go extra!
Create limited editions for the summer
If you have time to personalize your products, then this is something that you should probably do. Many people look forward to getting limited edition items and this something that your loyal consumers will be excited about.
Do not just throw away new designs, or do minimal tweaks on your current designs but make sure to plan everything so you don’t burn time and cash. Your goal is make it viral or at least make it to a point where the product markets itself.
Go online and create a website
We have seen strong dramatic upsurge in online shopping especially during this pandemic. Not only is online shopping safer, but it also does not put you at risk from getting the virus. But the point is, with more and more people working from home, the more time they’re spending online not just for work, but also for leisure. If your business is invisible in the digital sphere, then you’re probably missing out on your potential consumer market.
If you don’t have one yet, it’s best to start building your website now. Be there when people search for your product and service and be visible whenever people need you.
