Yes, you want your followers to learn about your brand and the products or services you offer, but you also want them to learn about your story, your environmental and community commitments, upcoming events and more.

3. Market Your Brand with Reusable Custom Cooler Bags – Soft cooler bags are really handy and sure to be used whether toting lunch to work, toting that amazing dip you make to bring to a party or snacks on trip. One of the best marketing tips for Spring is to create a custom reusable cooler bag that fits your branding scheme and will serve to spread the word about your company.  Just think that every time your customers or prospects use your branded reusable cooler bag, they will be reminded of your brand and the will spread the message to others.

4. Send a Note to Customers Wishing Them a Happy Spring on Seed Paper – Send a note to existing clients or purchase a targeted list and mention an upcoming sale or product launch or just wish them well with a message printed on seed paper. Seed paper is exactly what it sounds like – paper embedded with seeds. You can select from different die-cut shapes and colors, customize with a message, and drop them in the mail or hand them out to your customers. When your customers cover the paper under a thin layer of soil and water that will cause the seeds to germinate and your customers will have flowers or herbs to enjoy and remind them of your brand.

5. Meet and Greet with Your Community – Spring is a great time to get outside and partner with a local school organization, non-profit, or athletic team.  Ask them if they would like to have a car wash at your location or partner in some other way. This is a great way to raise money for your community and awareness of your company. Make the event green and offer up suggestions to the kids to conserve water by turning off the hose when not in use. You can even have a good old fashioned picnic for your employees, existing clients and send out an invite to folks in the community. Everyone will enjoy the time spent outdoors, you will raise awareness of your brand and help reinforce your commitment to the community.
