If you&#8217;re not in travel and tourism\u2014or another industry that peaks in the summer\u2014your business might fall into this category. But it\u2019s actually a great time to refocus and build momentum. Whether you&#8217;re in retail, e-commerce or another industry, the quieter months create space to attract customers in creative ways and prepare for a strong fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Summer Strategy: Attracting Customers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the right strategy, you can stay top of mind and keep customers coming back. Here\u2019s how product-based businesses make the most of the summer season and stay ahead. Even if your business follows a different model, many of these strategies can be adapted to fit your unique needs and help you maximize seasonal opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Seasonal Promotions &amp; Sales<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"uds-list wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Summer Clearance Sales:<\/strong> Move spring inventory and seasonal items with discounts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Themed Promotions:<\/strong> Tie into holidays like Memorial Day, 4th of July or Back-to-School deals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Limited-Time Offers:<\/strong> Use flash sales and bundles to create urgency during slower traffic months.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Focus on Seasonal Content<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"uds-list wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Email &amp; Social Campaigns:<\/strong> Promote summer needs like travel gear, lightweight clothing and outdoor essentials. Highlight products made with breathable fabrics, cooling ingredients or tropical-inspired designs to connect with summer shoppers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>\u00a0Campaigns featuring User Generated Content (UCG):<\/strong> Encourage customers to share summer lifestyle photos using your products (great for social proof and to reach new customers).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Mobile Shopping &amp; Customer Loyalty Strategies<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"uds-list wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Geo-targeted Ads and SMS Offers: <\/strong>Use location-based marketing to connect with nearby customers, which is especially effective for mobile shoppers and omnichannel retailers.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Summer-exclusive Incentives &amp; Referral Rewards: <\/strong>Provide special seasonal promotions to keep current customers engaged and encourage them to refer new clients.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Early Access to Fall Launches or Sales: <\/strong>Reward loyalty program members and email newsletter subscribers with exclusive previews and early shopping opportunities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entrepreneurship.asu.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/06\/ASU-Blog-Asset-Summer-Marketing-Moves-3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"573\" src=\"https:\/\/entrepreneurship.asu.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/06\/ASU-Blog-Asset-Summer-Marketing-Moves-3-1024x573.jpg\" alt=\"A coffee truck parked in a parking lot with two tables and chairs set in front of the truck.\n\" class=\"wp-image-4412\" srcset=\"https:\/\/entrepreneurship.asu.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/06\/ASU-Blog-Asset-Summer-Marketing-Moves-3-1024x573.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/entrepreneurship.asu.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/06\/ASU-Blog-Asset-Summer-Marketing-Moves-3-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/entrepreneurship.asu.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/06\/ASU-Blog-Asset-Summer-Marketing-Moves-3-768x429.jpg 768w, https:\/\/entrepreneurship.asu.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/06\/ASU-Blog-Asset-Summer-Marketing-Moves-3.jpg 1125w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Fuel Y\u2019all Coffee mobile coffee truck<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>One Arizona Entrepreneur Stays Ahead with Creativity<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Outdoor market vendors also need to get creative during the summer months as they try to keep their products, customers, and themselves cool, while attracting new clients. The extreme temperatures can damage fresh produce and handmade goods while also hurting vendor morale and customer turnout. Many vendors adapt by setting up for maximum shade and airflow, showing up early to grab the best spots, and many markets even shift their hours to early morning or evening to beat the worst heat. These changes help keep people coming and make the whole experience safer and more comfortable for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This season, one Arizona entrepreneur is showing how creative marketing can keep a business moving while under the summer sun. Anthony (Ant) Garza, founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/fuelyallcoffee.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fuel Y\u2019all Coffee<\/a>, a mobile coffee truck, shares how promoting his mobile coffee studio is essential for keeping the business thriving.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ant shared, \u201cWe\u2019re showcasing refreshing frozen drinks on social media and offering summer specials and loyalty discounts. Several local swim meets will also keep us busy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mornings are great for serving coffee, and as the day heats up, we shift to hydrating beverages and our full frozen drink menu. We\u2019ve created a comfortable atmosphere with fans and misters to help customers stay cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve collaborated with other vendors for themed nights and combo deals to enhance the experience. Partnering with someone who serves ice cream and sundaes has really boosted the event\u2019s appeal. Additionally, I\u2019m running social media contests that encourage customers to share their experiences with our drinks for a chance to win free items, helping to increase both engagement and brand visibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, I\u2019ve established partnerships with local businesses like gyms and outdoor fitness groups to offer exclusive discounts to their members and hosts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By implementing these strategies, we\u2019re effectively promoting our mobile coffee studio and keeping customers coming back all summer long because no matter the season, people always want coffee!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Outdoor markets thrive on community, and summer is no exception. Fuel Y\u2019all\u2019s story is a reminder that no matter the temperature, the right marketing strategy can turn up the heat on your overall success and drive sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entrepreneurship.asu.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/06\/ASU-Blog-Asset-Summer-Marketing-Moves-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"573\" src=\"https:\/\/entrepreneurship.asu.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/06\/ASU-Blog-Asset-Summer-Marketing-Moves-2-1024x573.jpg\" alt=\"Business owner wearing a suit, checking paperwork and sitting in a warehouse with stacks of boxes in the background.\" class=\"wp-image-4413\" srcset=\"https:\/\/entrepreneurship.asu.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/06\/ASU-Blog-Asset-Summer-Marketing-Moves-2-1024x573.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/entrepreneurship.asu.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/06\/ASU-Blog-Asset-Summer-Marketing-Moves-2-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/entrepreneurship.asu.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/06\/ASU-Blog-Asset-Summer-Marketing-Moves-2-768x429.jpg 768w, https:\/\/entrepreneurship.asu.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/06\/ASU-Blog-Asset-Summer-Marketing-Moves-2.jpg 1125w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by Dima Berlin Photos<br><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Fall Preparation Strategy: Planning for Peak Season<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Summer is also a time to plan, and smart businesses use this typically slower season to start gearing up for fall.
