Summer Marketing Ideas

We are into summer by just a few days and the metro area is wilting under 114 degree temperatures. When this excessive heat is past we will get back to celebrating summer in the Valley of the Sun.

What are you planning as summer business promotions?  Here are some ideas that may help you find new customers and bring back your previous buyers.

Take part in a community event. Summer in most towns is packed with fun runs, street fairs, music festivals, outdoor movie nights, concerts in the park…you get the idea. Contact your chamber of commerce and your city’s parks and recreation department to find out what events are planned for the upcoming few months. Decide which events are likely to attract your target customers, whether that’s health-minded seniors, parents with toddlers in tow or Millennial music fans. Once you’ve chosen some events with potential, you could:

Sponsor the event in return for your name on flyers, programs or banners at the event

Host a booth at the event and give out free samples or sell your product. (Be sure to collect contact information with a signup sheet or fishbowl to collect business cards).

Donate product to the event (a health food store could donate healthy snacks for refreshments at a fun run, for example)

Host an event for your customers. Get creative with a barbecue or beach party for your best clients and prospects. Or consider springing for something more adventurous like a Duffy boat rental or a wine tasting afternoon at a local winery. This can be a way to reward your best customers, learn more about their needs and provide them with networking opportunities that will lead to more referrals and more business. You don’t have to be a B2B business to make this work. If you own a retail store or restaurant, host a summer-themed event for your most loyal customers, like a special shopping night where they get to shop after the store is closed, or a special five-course dinner and wine tasting on a night your restaurant is usually not open.

Join with other business owners. If your business is in an area with lots of foot traffic, consider joining with the other business owners to hold a sidewalk sale or other outdoor event. Get with your chamber of commerce and plan how local businesses can attract foot traffic to your area.

Your printed materials are your businesses’ public face.  Your choice of colors, font types and sizes have somewhat the same affect on the viewer.  Make sure your message is a match to the buyer you expect.  Call MI Printing and let us help you make those choices.

Made In The USA – Tillamook Cheese

Just over a hundred years ago, several small creameries teamed up to form the Tillamook County Creamery Association (TCCA) to ensure the quality and reputation of cheese made in the Tillamook Valley.

The creameries that created TCCA knew that together, working cooperatively toward that goal, they could make even better products. Maybe even make a better life for themselves. They were right.

Today, they are made up of over 100 dairy farm families who own TCCA (many of whom are kin to the early pioneers), and the Tillamook brand can be found in stores from Portland, Oregon to Portland, Maine.

As much as they have grown, they haven’t lost sight of their past. They still use the same cheddar cheese recipe, now over 100 years old. And they are still true to the values that brought them together in the first place. They treat every day as an opportunity to follow the founders’ example, by working hard to make the highest quality, best-tasting dairy products. Dairy farming is what they love to do, and we’re proud of our products. They know you’ll enjoy their cheese as much as they do.

Making great cheddar begins at the farm, with the highest quality milk. Their farmer-owners are proud of the milk their cows produce.

We invite you to join the nearly one million fans who visit our Cheese Factory in Tillamook, Oregon, each year. Find out how Tillamook Cheese is made and get answers to your cheesiest questions, like how did they get these curds so darn squeaky?

Ever wonder what makes cheddar sharp versus extra sharp? Or how much milk a cow produces? What about how ice cream is made? You'll find answers to these questions and more on your self-guided Factory tour, with interactive kiosks, viewing windows, videos and lots of fun stops along the way.

Location: 4175 Highway 101 North Google Mapsend curve,  Tillamook, OR 97141
