There are many things you can do to promote your business and attract new customers.

 

10 Fall Marketing Ideas To Get You Started

 

1) Hold a Fall Sale

This is a great way to clear out old inventory and make room for new items. Fall is also a popular time for people to start shopping for the holidays, so take advantage of that by offering discounts and promotions.

You do not have to have a physical product to take advantage of this.  It's a great time to unveil a product you have been sitting on.

 

2) Create a Fall Event

One of the easiest ways to become a part of your community is to invite people in for a festival. Even if you can only create a small festival, take advantage of the fact that people love pumpkin picking and painting, scarecrow stuffing, and other crafts.  Create a theme.  Many people focus on children and families.  What if you did one for singles or newly married couples?

Creating an event is a great way to attract attention and foot traffic to your business.

 

3) Get Involved in the Local Community

Fall is a great time to get involved in your local community. There are many ways to do this, such as volunteering, participating in charity events, or becoming a member of a local organization. Getting involved will help you build relationships and show potential customers that you care about more than just making a profit.

 

4) Sponsor a Fall-Themed Event

This is a great way to attract attention and foot traffic to your business. Locally, we have dozens of fall festivals to choose from. So, choose wisely. Where is your target market? Where will your sponsorship have the most impact?

 

5) Create Fall-Themed Marketing Materials

At ASMM, we are big fans of evergreen content, but we also know that you should have content that is fresh and new.  Changing campaigns for the season is a great way to be sure you are doing just that.

Be sure to update your website and social media pages with fall colors and themes. Create fall-themed flyers and posters to promote your business. You can also create fall-themed email newsletters and social media posts.

 

6) Give Away Fall-Themed Prizes

Fall is the perfect time to hold a contest or giveaway. Offer fall-themed prizes such as gift baskets, gift certificates, or products from your business. Be sure to promote the contest or giveaway on your website and social media pages. Want even more bang for your buck?  Gave the contest to benefit a local charity. Cause marketing matters.

 

7) Decorate Your Business for Fall

Get into the fall spirit by decorating your business with fall colors and themes. This will help you stand out from the competition and attract the attention of potential customers. A well-decorated storefront is sure to attract more patrons.

 

8) Offer Fall-Themed Deals and Discounts 

Take advantage of the fall season by offering deals and discounts on your products or services. This is a great way to attract new customers and boost sales.

 

9) Collaborate with Other Businesses

Fall is a great time to collaborate with other businesses in your community. You can host joint events, offer discounts and promotions, or simply cross-promote each other's businesses. Collaborating with other businesses will help you reach a larger audience and build relationships.

A great example of cross-promotion is the way that ChimneyTek and 4 Season Land Care work together.  The fall is their busiest season so ChimneyTek leaves flyers for firewood with each of the homeowners who buy a chimney sweep. 4 Season Land Care gives a chimney cleaning flyer to everybody who buys firewood.

 

10) Create a Food Drive

Fall is the perfect time to create a food drive.  As the holidays approach, the food banks and pantries run low.  Help SPAN gets a head start on helping people in your community by hosting a good drive. This is also a great way of getting people to come into your business.
