Welcome to the first edition of my start of the month Ideas, Trends and Events post. Let's get your business ready for August!  

August Post Ideas For SOCIAL MEDIA

• Father’s Day Is Coming - Father’s Day is just around the corner. Prep your on-day posts or schedule your event posts now.
• Great Ideas For After Tax - Make sure you start advertising fun ways people can spend their tax refunds.
• Early Birds Spring Specials - Spring is only a month away and after a cold winter people will be looking forward to a break. Tour Operators should advertise tours and events for the warmer weather.

2. Father’s Day Campaigns
3. Dreaming Of Spring - With Spring just around the corner posts will focus on what to do when the weather improves.
4. AI Content - This is a continuing trend for the year and still popular!

You’ve Got Mail! Ideas For August EDMs

• Tour Agent Updates (Tour Operators only) - If you haven’t already, send a refresher of your 2024-2025 rates. Agents are also now asking for 2025-2026 rates.
• Seasonal Fan Favourites - Encourage customers to enjoy the last of your Winter season offerings that are ending. 

And remember! Any deals or events you run on socials should be sent out on EDM as well!
