Marketing Ideas for September

Here are a few marketing ideas kick start the autumn!

School starts 
Back to school promotions are great (and everywhere). Back to school-related offers are obviously going to be in your marketing mix if you target kids. But look at the other side as well.  If you have a product that appeals to parents, maybe encourage them to have some time for them now with pampering or shopping (it’s their holiday now!).

It’s also about learning so maybe this is a time you can offer ‘How To guides’ on your products or services (a great way to reduce churn) or some other way to help your audience learn a new skill.
