Can you top this?
Great Outdoors Month
And thankfully, June has tons of great causes and holidays to make your summer marketing campaigns hot!
- Create a blog or social media post on the best places around your state to get outside and experience nature. Ask your followers to share their favorite spots too.
- You could also run a month-long email campaign that points out new ideas and places to visit each week.
- If you hold indoor classes, host them outside!
- Run a sidewalk sale (because hey, outdoors doesn’t have to mean sitting atop a mountain).
- If there’s a local business near you that sells outdoor gear, see if they’ll donate some products for an “outdoors essentials” kit or even just a discount that you could offer in a giveaway. In return, you can promote their business on social media or even offer to donate your products at a relevant time.
- Keep it simple and post a beautiful image with some outdoor inspo.
- Moving companies can run special promotions for college grads.
- Restaurants can offer a gift card to graduates who post a picture of themselves at your restaurant wearing their cap and gown.
- Catering and events businesses can post the dates in which their services are still available.
- Don’t forget about graduation and teacher gifts!
Marketing ideas for June holidays
Meteor Watch Day
Social Media Day
Flag Day (Monday, June 14)
HVAC Tech Day
- Incorporate an American flag theme into your offerings: American flag cookies, jewelry, clothing, and more.
- See if you can find a creative way to incorporate stars and stripes into your content.
- Offer discounts on red, white, or blue products you offer, whether that clothing, paint, or in the case below, fabric:
- Father’s Day gift guide: Compile some great gift ideas into a blog post, some of which can be your offerings. See if you can create a persona for the dads of your target audience. Are they young fathers? Old timers? Gardeners? Gadget lovers? Readers? There are tons of Father’s Day gift guides out there, so keep it targeted for your audience.
- Gift baskets: Spare moms and kids from having to come up with ideas and put together creative gift baskets or combinations. Seeing everything together and artfully arranged gives added appeal.
- Restaurants: Supply gift cards to your restaurant with a bottle from a local distillery or winery.
- Spa or salons: Run specials on men’s grooming supplies. Moms who come in to redeem their gift certificates from Mother’s Day will love the one-stop shopping!
- Don’t forget about last-minute shoppers!
While diligent shoppers make careful decisions to find the right brand or product, last-minute shoppers are looking to make the fastest decision with the lowest risk. Make your flexible return policy prominent in your marketing copy, such as with “No hassle returns!” or “No return deadlines!”
Marketing ideas for June national days
Best Friends Day
Call Your Doctor Day – Second Tuesday in June
Flip a Coin Day (June 1)
Logistics Day
Insurance Awareness Day
- Run a coin flip discount day: For each purchase, have customers flip a coin and call heads or tails. If the customer wins, they get a percentage discount based on the value of the coin. Quarter flips = 25% off, dime flips = 10% off, and nickel flips = 5% off. Of course, you can adjust the discounts depending on your budget and customer volume.

Donut Day (Friday, June 4)
Army Birthday
Flag Day
- Create a new tradition: Local bakeries, if you want to do something beyond just discounts and coupons, announce to your audience a week or so prior that you’ll be coming out with a brand new, never-seen-before donut on this day—with a limited supply! Post little teasers on social media and your website to generate some excitement and mystery. Better yet, continue the tradition annually. Your patrons will look forward to it every year!
- Fitness businesses can offer or share an after-Donut Day workout. Donuts are delicious but not exactly marketing materials for the fitness industry. Host or post a Day After Donut Day workout.
- Show customer appreciation: Bakeries can post pictures of your loyal customers, tagging them (with their permission)
And let’s not forget about pet insurance…
- Lawyers and accountants can blog about the benefits of insurance for individuals and business owners, or resurface old posts on the topic.
- Doctors and dentists can encourage patients to check out their insurance to make sure they have adequate coverage, or provide tips for connecting with insurance companies about procedures.
- Massage therapists, chiropractors, and fitness centers should encourage clients to check their insurance benefits—many insurance companies offer coverage for massage and chiropractic treatments or subscriber discounts for joining a fitness center or gym.
- Travel agents, bed and breakfasts, and hotels can use this day to blog about the benefits of travel insurance.

June. School is out (was it ever in?) No more warm weather teasers. Accordions abound (What? We’ll get to that later). June is filled with freedom and fresh air, so you can’t afford stale marketing campaigns! While it’s important to identify and harness content types and topics that resonate with your audience, it’s equally as important to step out of your comfort zone and add some color and authenticity to your communication.
