Summertime Promotional Opportunities


Fresh ideas for promoting your business courtesy of Promotional Consultant Magazine

JULY- National Picnic Month
With summer in full swing, it’s time to gather up the family for an afternoon of sandwiches, snacks and refreshing sweet tea. Customized baskets, blankets or tea pitchers can make any summertime picnic more special.


Build A Scarecrow Day-July 5

Who knew that the art of building a scarecrow had its own special day of the year? This July, help your local day schools nursing homes or craft centers promote creative activities with supplies such as safety scissors or rulers for their scarecrow-building activities.


Cow Appreciation Day-July 14

Today is all about showing gratitude to those four-legged creatures that graze in the meadow. Cow-print hats, t-shirts or tote bags can bring attention to this well-loved animal. Or, imprinted cowboy hats or gloves can make a farmer’s day a little easier.


August-American Artist Appreciation Month

Whether you’re an art aficionado or napped during art class, this month’s focus is to celebrate the work of American artists. Art galleries, museums, art schools and craft stores can sculpt a promotional campaign with paint brushes, pencils or embroidered tote bags perfect for carrying supplies.


National Clown Week-August 1-7

They put a smile on our faces with their over-the-top make-up and colorful costumes. Goofy items such as bouncy balls, imprinted jester hats, slinkies or sticky hands can bring out the playful side of any client.


Friendship Day-August 2

Through thick and thin, friends are there to boost your spirits and make you smile. Help your clients celebrate their friends and create new ones with matching keychains, t-shirts or caps. Local schools can encourage a friendly attitude with smiley face pens or customized notepads.


American Dance Week-August 16-22

Whether you prefer to slide on some tap shoes or do a pirouette en pointe, dance is an important part of American culture. Dance studios or community centers can sweep clients off their feet with imprinted tote bags, leotards, hair accessories or water bottles.
