Summer can either stretch your business thin or become one of your most profitable seasons. This session shows you how to move quickly and confidently, with a clear plan instead of guesswork.

Attendees will learn how to map a simple summer marketing timeline, decide when to run promotions versus hold pricing, and structure discounts that drive volume without eroding margins. The session also walks through how to build and execute a basic summer email sequence, align social content to seasonal demand, and track what is working so adjustments can be made mid-season rather than after summer ends.
