September Marketing Themes and Ideas
Kids are back in school, and adults are back to business. Don’t miss this opportunity to market your business.
September brings students, sales, and new marketing ideas. Here are some creative marketing ideas to promote your business this September!
Do you have student discounts?
Run student discounts, a back-to-school promotional week, or offer back-to-school themed products. This is a great time to generate buzz on social media or by partnering with student organizations for events.
As September marks the start of the school year, many consumers are receptive to starting new things—like your customer loyalty program! If you don’t already have one, take the time to create a customer loyalty program to encourage repeat business and improve customer retention. It can be as easy as creating a punch card toward a free or discounted product or service or just asking customers for their mobile number.
Football Season 🏈
Of course, one of the most popular reasons for the season: football! Football is here, which means it’s the perfect opportunity to engage with your consumer base and market through the sport they love. See how you can integrate the football theme into your marketing strategy and connect with customers.
Celebrate September birthdays 🎉
Everyone should get something for their birthday! Reward a customer on their birthday with a great offer on their special day or select a day in the month to celebrate all birthdays in Septembers.
