For all of you with young ones in school, the last few weeks have been quite the hustle and bustle, I'm sure... but it's time get back in the saddle and push your business hard for the next 4 months! Let's finish 2026 strong! Here's my top 3 tips for Back to School time and the Fall season for small businesses in Florida:
Lean Into Seasonal Marketing - Families are shifting routines, so think about how your product or service solves their new challenges. Highlight convenience, time-saving, or stress-relief angles in your messaging.
Network & Collaborate - Fall is packed with community events, festivals, and back-to-school nights. Show up, set up a booth, or partner with other local businesses to expand your reach.
Plan Ahead for the Holidays - November and December will be here before you know it. Use September and October to build your email list, polish your social media, and prep special offers so you’re ready to capture holiday demand.
