August is almost here, but there’s still time to plan engaging campaigns that will excite your members and drive new revenue throughout the month! Check out our suggestions below for businesses that would make excellent partners for your back-to-school promotions.
School Supply Stores
Help your audience stock up on everything they need to send their kids back to school by partnering with a school supply store. Have your sponsor treat the teachers and students in your database to discounts in your monthly email newsletter, or give away gift cards for a shopping spree.
Clothing Boutiques & Department Stores
Send members back to classes in style by teaming up with a local clothing boutique or department store. You could even monetize our free Back to School Makeover campaign template and attach a sponsor to lock in new revenue while driving traffic to your site.
Electronic Stores
Bring in an electronic store as a partner in your promotions this month to stock your prize closet with tablets, laptops, and all the other hot gadgets that your audience needs to make the grade. You could even run a survey to learn which brands and devices your members prefer and provide those leads to your sponsor, who could offer exclusive deals on the most popular items in your next newsletter.
Apartment complexes
With colleges back in session soon, apartment complexes near campuses are sure to be working overtime to lock in new residents to sign yearly leases. Approach a complex or property manager in your community to offer move-in deals in your newsletter or run a contest for a month of free rent. You could even use one of these contest ideas tailored specifically to apartment complexes, including our free Dream Apartment Makeover campaign template.
Furniture Stores
From moving into a new home or apartment to returning to the dorms, lots of your audience members are probably looking to furnish their new digs. Secure a local furniture store to sponsor a home furnishing giveaway or even have them team up with an apartment complex to run our free Dream Apartment Makeover contest template to offer a prize pack of new goodies for the winner’s home.
