The sun is out, the weather is warm! Shake up your marketing with these summer-energy-powered campaigns. 

1. Gift seasonal swag

Whether it’s a beach-themed towel or a branded cooler bag, a gift your prospects and customers can use all summer long can be a smart investment. 

One of the best gifts I ever received from a vendor was a logoed picnic backpack, complete with plates, silverware, corkscrew, and a checkered tablecloth. I’ve been using that picnic backpack for nearly two decades now — and I still remember the name of the company that gave it to me.

Now is the perfect time to film marketing videos outdoors. You could:
