Summer Marketing Prep: How to Stay Visible When Customers Go on Vacation (2025 Edition)

Turn Up the Heat with Seasonal Content That Sizzles

Summer’s coming—and it’s your golden opportunity to supercharge your content with sunny, seasonal vibes. HubSpot’s 2025 State of Marketing report shows that brands tapping into summer themes see a 22% boost in engagement. Think travel tips, warm-weather trends, and vacation hacks—wrapped around your products or services in a way that feels fun, fresh, and totally shareable.

  1. Keep Your Social Game Strong (Even if Everyone’s Poolside):

    Your customers might be vacationing, but they’re still scrolling! Mobile social media use jumps 18% during summer breaks (Statista 2025), making it the perfect time to stay visible with light, fun content. Think beachy behind-the-scenes snaps, sunny giveaways, or quick polls—keep it casual and engaging without the sales pitch.

  2. Work Smarter – Automate Your Summer Hustle:

    Don’t let your marketing take a vacation just because you do. With email open rates dipping 10% in July and August (Campaign Monitor 2025), automation is your secret weapon. Schedule your newsletters, posts, and ads in advance so your brand keeps showing up—even while you’re sipping something cold by the pool.

  3. Boost Your Reach With Summer Collabs:

    Two brands are better than one—especially during slower months. Partner with a local biz to create bundled deals, cross-promotions, or shared giveaways. “Collaborations drive up to 34% more reach for small businesses during seasonal dips,” says Jenna Liu, marketing strategist at LocalEdge. It’s a win-win way to expand your audience.

  4. Tempt With Can’t-Miss Summer Perks:

    Vacay vibes don’t mean people stop shopping—they just need a reason to click. Flash discounts, summer-only bundles, loyalty rewards, or referral bonuses can spark engagement even while customers are away. Make your offer sizzle, and they’ll be back before the sunscreen dries.
