Summer is heating up here in the Black Hills — and now it’s time to get your brand sizzling, too!

While the beginning of the year is often the time for big-picture planning, the middle of the year is your golden opportunity to reflect, recharge, and rev up your marketing strategy.

Here are some ways you can add some heat to your mid-year marketing strategy:

#1 – Revisit Your Goals

How did your campaigns perform in Q1 and Q2, and are you on track to meet your 2025 business goals? Take a deep dive into your website and social media analytics, paid ad campaigns, and revenue to understand what’s working (and what’s not) so you can craft a more effective second-half strategy.

 

#2 – Refresh Your Content

Take a look at your logo, ads, website, and social media profiles – are they starting to feel a little stale? Summer is the season of bold colors and fresh ideas, so it’s the perfect time to try something new. Even simple tasks like updating the colors on your website, using new photography styles on social media, or changing up the graphics you use in your ads can go far in breathing new life into your content.

 

#3 – Refocus Your Messaging

Consumer behavior shifts throughout the year. Is your message still resonating with your target audience? Is there a new demographic that is showing interest in your brand? During the deep dive process from step #1, use the data you collect to give yourself a deeper understanding so you can drive smarter, more impactful campaigns for Q3 and Q4.

 

#4 – Reignite Your Campaigns

Now’s the perfect time to launch a campaign with fresh, new energy. Whether it’s a summertime promo, contest, event, or social media content series, you can use the opportunity to grab your audience’s attention, reengage with inactive customers, and even reach beyond your current audience to new potential customers.

Also, think beyond discounts and offer value with useful tips, how-to guides, fun freebies, and behind-the-scenes looks to really deepen that brand-customer connection.

 

#5 – Reconnect with Your Audience

Being able to effectively connect with your audience is everything. Use summer’s slower pace and lighter schedules to your advantage by polling your audience, replying to comments, asking questions, and starting conversations. Your brand should feel like a living, breathing personality and not a billboard.
