Need June marketing ideas?
It’s summertime, and the livin’ is easy!
While summer technically starts on the solstice (June 20), summer’s kickoff is popularly considered to be U.S. Memorial Day (May 31 in 2021). Kids are getting ready for school to end, and adults are planning road trips and other travel.
If your audience is in the Northern Hemisphere, use these themes in your marketing efforts.
June also offers gift opportunities: for dads, grads, and teachers. Do you sell giftables appropriate for one or more of these groups? Be sure to let your audience know!
It’s another big month for the red, white, and blue, as well as camping, barbecues, and outdoor living.
If none of this resonates with your business, there are lots more ideas to choose from! You can even get them in a super-simple to follow format, which you’ll hear more about further down.
Pin or tweet, then read on!

Hi Louise! Lovely info.
June 7 mentions Prince’s 50th birth anniversary. Probably meant 58, right? (Devoted Prince fan!)
Louise Myers says
Oops! Typo. 60th. Thanks for the heads up.
