The weather is getting nicer outside. Kids will be getting out of school for summer break soon. May is the month when families pack away the winter close and plan their summer vacations – changes that marketers should take note of. We took some time to find the best “May Marketing Ideas” that will benefit your business this month, and throughout the upcoming summer.
Here – we’ll start with an obvious one. Run a restaurant or bar? Printing table tent cards advertising your Cinco de Mayo drink specials is one way you can make sure to kick off the month right. Make sure to have them on tables for at least a week leading up to the 5th for maximum impact.
Businesses can also take advantage of Memorial Day, one of the most popular sale holiday’s of the year! Memorial Day is observed on the final Monday of May, and kicks off the unofficial start to Summer. Credit card bills from the holiday season are finally paid off and consumers are ready to spend all summer. You just need to make sure they know you’re there.
Take Advantage of the Warmer Weather
Shorts and T-Shirts aren’t the only benefit of warmer weather. With the temperature rising in May, you can shift some of your marketing efforts outdoors because more people are likely to be outside. With more foot traffic passing by, business banner printing is an extremely cost efficient way to refresh your storefront and provide summer specific offers to potential customers.
Don’t have passerby traffic? Print the same information that you would have on a banner on business flyers and canvas the neighborhood. You may have already done some research on the legality of canvassing, but if always check your local laws prior to any type of marketing outreach program.
Boosting Summer Sales This Year
Still looking for May marketing ideas? Perhaps neither banners or flyers will work for your area. That’s Ok too. You can take advantage of our bulk poster printing prices and plaster the town with your business info. If you pick the right locations to hang your business posters, they are likely to last all summer – boosting sales for months to come.
