Gain followers for an outdoor concert-themed promotion
Summer concerts are on the horizon. Collaborate with area businesses to sponsor a social media contest with fun concert-themed prizes. Participants can qualify for a contest entry by following your company page, liking a post, sharing a favorite summer vacation photo, or tagging a friend in the comments. The winners could receive a clear bag—perfect for concerts or sporting events—filled with sunscreen, lip balm and a functional yet stylish baseball cap.
Participate in local events
Many cities and towns are buzzing with local summertime events, such as farmers markets, family-focused festivals, “Fun Fridays” at the park and more. Promote brand awareness with an event booth that has fun summer promotional gifts ready for anyone who stops by. Help them best the heat with summer giveaway items, like sunglasses, hand fans and cooling towels. Gather contact information from passersby and raffle off a Koozie® Folding Wagon at the end of the day. It’s a practical prize that can be used again and again for zoos, parks, walks and more.
Host a movie under the stars
Collaborate with your town or city to boost your brand—and the fun—by sponsoring a summer movie series. Summer evenings are the perfect time to take in a film under the stars. The heat of the day will have worn off and the crisp evening breeze will draw a crowd. Offer branded coolers to people who attend every event in the series. Cater to crowds by offering a picnic blanket to the first 20 groups to enter the event.
Encourage customers to stop and shop
If you have a storefront, boost customer engagement by hosting an exciting contest. Entice shoppers with the chance to win an outdoor speaker where each purchase automatically earns them an entry, increasing their odds and their shopping frequency. Enhance the experience by playing music through multiple speakers in-store to elevate excitement. Amplify your reach by promoting the contest, along with the summer promotional gift, on social media to attract even more shoppers.
Gift camping gear for greatness
As summer approaches, camping becomes a cherished pastime for many. That's why a thoughtfully curated camping gift basket can resonate with employees, invoking the invigorating spirit of outdoor adventure associated with summertime. A trunk organizer makes a great starting point. Include summer promotional gifts, like a lantern, beach towel and camp mug. Throw in a folding lawn chair to upgrade your gift to VIP-level. Whether campers are joining friends, meeting new people at a campsite or RV park, or spending quality time with family, these items are sure to pack an impression.
