Summer season is synonymous with vacations, fishing trips, bar-be-cues, beaches, swimming and general outdoor activities.

It is also a good time for the marketers to take advantage and make their place in the minds of their existing and prospective customers. There is a volley of promo product ideas by way of which promoters can satisfy and thank their customers during the hot season.

Apparel ideas – For those long sunny days at the beach or playing volleyball or football match, present your customers with baseball caps and sun visors with your company logo and message. Cool colored t-shirts would be ideal for golf fans.

Picnic ideas – You can gift your customer picnic coolers and blankets for a perfect day out in the summer sun. For those backyard barbecue parties, you can offer customized barbecue gear or accessories.

Outdoor ideas – Some fun ideas for enjoying outdoor sports could be flying discs, boomerangs, kites. For those beach parties, you can offer beach bags, towels or robes. Other good ideas would be suntan and sun-protection lotions, sunglasses and water bottles for a great sunny day.
Skin protection ideas – Lip balms and high SPF lotions are perfect ideas for protection against the sun. Moisturizing sprays throwing a refreshing mist work well to cool off the heat. Add your company logo to these products and your customers will be reminded of you during their repeated use o beat the harsh sun. Portable, mini hand fans are also a practical promo item for the season, especially it would combine well with the spray bottles.

Sunglasses are a useful promo product which your customer will appreciate during this weather; however, there is a compromise on the imprint space you get to advertise your logo or message. You can achieve your promotional objective by complimenting sunglasses with a cover, clip or holder with your logo imprint on it.

Gift bags – you can even choose to make gift bags. An example would be one for the beach; including a beach blanket, beach mat, sunglasses and sun protection.

Another idea is to offer a wellness and health gift bag which comprises of first aid items, facial tissues, anti-bacterial moist wipes and plasters; to carry for the outdoor activities.

Re: Alexa Ranking Goals - Hi GT, When we had the contest in the summer, I visited at least 10 blog every day. Not all PPG blogs, it did help. But it was summer and I had plenty of time. June is right around the corner and then I will have time again. I can wait.
Re: Message to Mods, and request for feedback, two ideas - Hi GT I think that with the summer months in the USA/ Canada the internet marketing business generally slows down but I am looking forward to the new season, even though we in South Africa are just going in to summer.

Re: Feedback on a New Company Name - Not talking about a domain name. The sites I use to promote the tour business are already established. The idea is to have a name which includes what I do with that division of my business - it needs to be more personalized and professional instead just saying I'm Nikki and I coordinate tours. The SEO stuff is being taken care of on sites and blogs and other avenues. Anyway, I'm getting a lot of great feedback about the name and the search engines bringing up new posts and many older posts by me and about me that all point to my sites. Interesting perk I hadn't thought about. Shri
Re: When did your entrepreneurism start? - It may have started earlier but at 7 years old, my second summer of having the lemonade stand on the corner of my block, I realized something important. There were four of us at the same stand, and we took turns sitting at the booth. What I realized is that while we liked hanging out together, we were only getting sales from people in this one area. The next day, I came out with two boxes and two pitchers. I sent two of my friends a couple blocks away to set up a second stand. By the end of the summer there were four stands and we each made enough to satisfy every desire of a 7 year old. My understanding of scale, franchise, and entrepreneurship began.
