1. Launch a vacation photo contest on Facebook or Twitter

People love taking vacations during the summer. They pick a sunny destination, pack their bags and go for a long drive. A lot of photographs will be clicked during these vacations. Why don't you launch a contest on your social media page requesting followers to share their best vacation photographs?

Keep a lengthy deadline to ensure you receive a lot of entries. Scan through the entries to pick the best photograph. Make sure you announce and distribute prizes to the rightful winners. This contest will bring your brand a lot of goodwill and visibility, ensuring that your marketing initiative is a success without spending heavily.

2. Imprint your logo on giveaways and distribute them in bulk

We are really busy during the summer months! We get hundreds of requests for quality giveaways that can be used outdoors. Our range of t-shirts, flyers and other summer giveaways are frequently distributed at indoor/outdoor events across the USA.

Have you ever used giveaways to highlight your brand during the summer? We strongly recommend you go for them to showcase your brand in a creative fashion.

3. Host a fun event in your area

Hosting a fun event is a great way to spread the word about your brand. You could host the event in your office's premises. Invite employees, clients and every person living in the locality. The event should offer quality entertainment – make sure people can visit it with their families.

The kinds of events you choose depend on the likes and dislikes of your employees. Ask around to learn what kind of event will strike a chord with the locals.

4. Distribute summer gift cards

It doesn’t matter whether you own a store or a small business. A summer gift card is an easy way to get more customers flowing in through the front door! Offer decent discounts on your services to ensure people get interested.

5. Host BBQ parties for customers and employees

Have cherished employees and customers over a fun BBQ. Let them enjoy quality food and drinks while you gain invaluable goodwill.
