Looking for some marketing themes to cool off your customers on scorching hot August days? I notice several days have to do with ice cream, soda and refreshing fruits. I can really sink my teeth into August 2nd as National Ice Cream Sandwich Day.
Although August 6th National Root Beer Float Day sounds very thirst and heat quenching. August 14th is National Creamsicle Day and you can cool off your customers while they browse your special offers.
I’m curious what you can come up with for National Zucchini Day on August 8th. Would you do a Social Media based recipe contest? Offer samples of zucchini bread?
National Lemonade Day on August 20th is my favorite. I love drinking lemonade and frozen lemonade treats are fantastic. Would you have a recipe contest with judges doing taste tests
National Rum Day on August 16th has me thinking of a Captain Jack Sparrow costume contest. Now is that too outrageous? Post a photo of the winning costume on your Facebook Page.
