2. Participation is Key
People appreciate the fact that you’re also human and a part of their community. Whether you’re online-based or have a brick-and-mortar store, be sure to regularly post exciting, summery images and content about your involvement and participation in the local community.
3. Highlight That You’re Hip-and-Happening
People undoubtedly take part in different activities during summer, which means you need to adapt your marketing to these respective trends.

4. Clearance Sales
Like you, your audience is most likely thinking ahead to next year and still set in older trends. If you have old stock, be sure to promote clearance sales to encourage and attract them to your business in future as well.
