5 Ideas to Boost Your Sales
Take it Outside!
An excellent and often overlooked marketing strategy is to host an event. Summer is the perfect time to take advantage of the outdoors by participating in local community events or even hosting your own event! If you provide your clients with a fun, personal experience, along with free food, music, prizes, and
promotional products, it can raise awareness and positively impact your ROI. Consider collaborating with other non-competing businesses or sponsors, this can help create a bigger buzz around your event and boost networking. Also, don't forget to utilize heavy
social media marketing and eye-catching
invitations and
brochures to increase interest and attendance.
The Higher the Heat, the Better the Offer
Summer promotions work when the offer is right and easy to spot. Consider promotional offers that are tied to the weather. For example, offer a free samples, coupons or quantity discounts that encourage people to come out of the heat and into your business. If your weather doesn’t see that high of temperatures, consider a “rainy day” offer. Regardless of “weather” you choose heat or rain, promote both your brand and your offer with
window graphics,
outdoor banners, and creative
promotional products with a summer theme.
Summer Inspired Signage
Innovative signage attracts attention so why not use summer holidays as the visual backdrop to tie into your current summer promotions? Consider a
sidewalk sign with a vibrant summer scene or a colorful Labor Day weekend promotion using chalk so passersby won’t miss your storefront! Summer offers many fun and upbeat visuals that can give your marketing the POP it needs to get noticed! Click

Sizzling Hot Promotional Items
Sizzling hot
promotional items during the summer months increase brand awareness and provide an unexpected lasting impact. Whether the give-away is for a patient coming in for an appointment, a sales call, or for every 10th customer that makes a purchase, give-aways create excitement and inspire action! Be sure to use your give-away in your
online marketing initiatives. Your brand boldly added to sunscreen, a beach blanket, or cooler can remind your customers that you’re thinking about them this summer.
Take Advantage of Kids Being Out of School
Summer is for check-ups! Between school and after-school activities, there is little time to squeeze in a dental cleaning or medical check-up. Catch parents before school starts when it’s easier to get their kids in for appointments by
marketing via
direct mail or by sponsoring local kid-centric events at your local library or community center!
