Fall Hashtag Days
Now that the summer pool parties, barbecues, and picnics are a thing of the past, it’s time to say hello to fall! As a distributor of promo there are tons of opportunities to boost your sales during this time, beyond your typical back-to-school and Halloween offers. Many of the lesser-known fall holidays not only give you a chance to expand your product line up, but they also allow your clients to show their brand in a different light. By enticing them to create a promotion around a special day they will be able to build rapport with their audience and develop a stronger connection to them. Below are some of the most popular hashtag days being celebrated this upcoming fall to help you build a product list that you can pitch to your different client groups.
#NationalTacoDay
The festivities begin with National Taco Day on October 4th. You can create offers that include a range of lifestyle products that almost anyone can use to promote their brand. These products are effective as they remain visible on countertops, tables, and kitchen walls. Not just for restaurants, cooking utensils make great gifts for anyone who enjoys home-cooked meals. Make sure to include a variety of wall calendars like our Recipes calendars in your lineup which can be used to compliment any promotion along with cutting boards for anyone looking for a higher-end item.
#NationalTakeAHikeDay
Although the days may be getting shorter, that doesn’t mean you can’t get outside and enjoy the outdoors. National Take a Hike Day on November 17th reminds us about the importance of staying active and appreciating the beauty of nature. As there are many events around the country that celebrate this holiday, it represents an opportunity to pitch water bottles, including vacuum-insulated flasks to local, state, and national parks. It will also be a good idea to add flashlights, pocket knives, and multitools to your lineup which are great options for targeting outdoor enthusiasts.
#NationalMuttDay
Later in December, on the 2nd of the month, there’s an opportunity to connect with several charities and nonprofits for National Mutt Day. According to the ASPCA, approximately 3.3 million dogs enter shelters every year. When these abandoned and often abused animals find their way to a shelter, each one needs a forever home. Businesses looking to get involved with a charitable cause can donate products, money, and time by volunteering at a local animal shelter. Donations can be complemented with low-cost options like key chains and our Dogs wall calendars which are suitable for anyone with a limited budget.
One of the advantages of the various types of holidays is that they allow clients to connect with new audiences, which in turn enables you to expand your product offerings. By onboarding a great range of products you will ensure that you will always have something for your clients, regardless of how quirky their promotions are. An out-of-the-box approach is great for anyone looking to differentiate themselves and build a loyal following.
