Tip of the Month

Determine Your Summer Demand

If your peak season runs from Memorial Day to Labor Day, you’ve got a booming summer biz. But just like a firecracker, a summer business can fizzle if it doesn’t have the right spark. In the aforementioned survey, business owners said their other major summertime concerns included hiring talent, marketing, and increased operating hours. Here are a few ways you can mitigate these challenges:

1.Plan ahead. Ideally, start preparing for the next summer as soon as the current summer draws to an end. Keep notes on what worked and what didn’t, list out new ideas to test, and create a roadmap so when the time comes, you’re ready to roll.

2.Widen your talent pool. Instead of hiring only seasonal employees or only long-term employees, consider a mix of both. That way, you’ll always have someone experienced on hand while also being able to hire younger, short-term employees on a budget.

3.Test out new marketing strategies. Summer presents an opportunity to reach new markets, especially if you’re in an area that attracts tourists or visitors. It also gives you a chance to launch new seasonal products, which can increase demand due to their limited availability.
