Seasonal Promotional Ideas

Make the Most out of Summer!

Here we are at the start of summer, and it is not summer vacation in the marketing industry! Summer events offer a great opportunity for promotional products that fit the criteria of being both useful and memorable.

Give a client the beach cooler that they use all summer long, & you can be sure that your logo will be first and foremost in their mind.

What could be a more visible location for your logo than a beach umbrella or a beach ball? Associate your brand with the memories people remember.

Another fun idea for summer is to host take advantage of the weather & host an outdoor event, such as a ball game or a BBQ, & have a promotional tie in.

Think Spring!

Spring is just around the corner, and with a new season comes a fresh new energy to bring to your marketing approach.  Every business starts out with the best of intentions and lofty resolutions at the beginning of the year.  But by March, many of those aspirations have begun to fade.

Spring has become synonymous with spring cleaning and a fresh start.  It has become the go-to season for millions to deep clean homes, get rid of unnecessary clutter, and look at things from a different perspective.

Let the new season inspire you!

This is a great time to get rid of all the products and services that haven’t been as profitable as you’d like, and to put your brand on something new.  Your messaging should match the season with vibrant colors and a theme of renewal and revitalization.  Focus on a new look for your website, a new feature, perhaps a new product offering to go along with the spirit of renewal.

There are some great holidays in the Spring that are perfect for marketing opportunities.   Create a marketing effort related to the annual celebration of Earth Day.  Go local and sponsor a road cleanup project or a tree planting event, and invite the community to join in. The week of Mothers Day: send flowers or a card to your clients who are mothers.

Productivity

Create A Plan for 2018 That Works!

A plan of action is necessary to be productive throughout the day and to bring in new business.  Hopefully you have put a plan in action before now.  If you haven’t, then use these helpful tips to keep you motivated through the year.  

Step 1: Start Early

Identify your goals early is always the best plan in order to jump right into your plan.   In developing your plan, make sure to ask yourself WHY you have set certain objectives-this will help to motivate you going forward.

Step 3: Break It Down

Set reasonable, achievable goals. Keep the big picture in site, but also focus on the day to day steps that will get you there. If your big picture is to bring in more business, create a plan with the help of a marketing advisor .  This along with a promotional marketing plan is important in achieving this goal.

Step 3: Be As Detailed As Possible

Don’t be afraid to lay out hour by hour what needs to be done, especially if you are prone to distraction. A clear, detail based schedule is your friend in 2018.

Step 4: Put It In Writing

We are visual creatures. Once your plan is clear to you, write it down! Print it out.  Keep a copy on your desk & another on your tablet or phone. Keep your daily & weekly goals on your mirror or near your coffee maker so you will be reminded of them first thing ever morning. Don’t let a week go by without you reviewing the plan for the year, so make sure you are still on track for the big picture goals.

Step 5: You Are Your Best Resource

Stay healthy. Don’t merely focus on your actions, focus on your body. Get plenty of sleep, exercise, & eat right. Start the day with a healthy breakfast & your goals in front of you. Hitting the gym first thing each morning will give you a motivating energy boost to start the day of right.

Step 6: Be Firm But Flexible

Do not stress yourself out if you do not follow your plan exactly. Always adjust your plan as needed throughout the year.  It is ok if some of your plans change, as long as they stay true to your overall vision, & true to you. Making adjustments when necessary will help you maintain focus on your larger goals as the year progresses.

Journal Books  are a wonderful way to keep yourself in check.  Take notes, create your to do list and the best part is crossing the task off when completed.   Your clients I’m sure would be happy to receive one from you also.

Tips to Keep the Mind in Tact

1.

  1. Save Energy
    Organize your life so you’re using your brain’s energy for critical thinking, not trying to find your keys (or shoes or wallet) in the morning as you rush to the office. Put the mundane on auto-pilot so you can concentrate on what will demand more mental prowess.
  2. Switch Hands
    Using your non-dominant hand expands the neurological circuits connected to that hand, which can improve mental performance. If you’re right-handed, brush your teeth or jot down quick notes with your left. If you’re left-handed, stir a pot or wipe down the kitchen counter with your right. You can also try using chopsticks with both hands.
  3. Choose Food Wisely
    Eat more antioxidant-rich berries, dark leafy greens, nuts (full of vitamins and minerals) and fish; salmon, sardines, anchovies and lake trout in particular contain omega-3 fatty acids, which have been shown to decrease cognitive weakening.
  4. Work Out Regularly
    Cardiovascular exercise pumps oxygen-rich blood to the brain, which gives it a boost of nutrients such as glucose. Working out also strengthens blood vessels and helps to avoid illnesses such as stroke, which affects cognition.
  5. Keep Learning
    Studies have shown that learning new things keeps thinking sharp and may ward off senility. Head to the library to find books on new subjects, check out the latest art exhibit at a museum or even pick up a musical instrument. Also consider investing in materials from a company such as The Great Courses, which offers college-level workbooks and lectures on different academic subjects from top professors.
