Summer...only 9 days away. As we kick off the official season, here are some important reminders about how marketing now affects the months ahead.
Even if you haven't started your summer marketing yet, don't worry! You still have a solid three months until the official start of Fall--plenty of time.
By taking action now, you can gain a competitive edge. While your competitors might be taking a break, you have the opportunity to be top of mind when they shift their attention to the fourth quarter.
Here's why it's crucial to act promptly:
1️. You'll Stay Ahead
Keep a consistent marketing presence going throughout the summer. Why? It ensures that your business remains at the forefront of your customer's minds. By increasing your visibility, you foster brand recognition and customer loyalty.
2️. You’ll Beat the Competition
Stand out by staying proactive, while other businesses reduce their marketing efforts during the summer. Don't let your competitors steal the spotlight while you take the beach chair.
3️. You’ll be Prepared for Fall
