3 Rainy Promotional Strategies to Reach Your Consumers

3 Rainy Day Promotional Strategies for Brand Awareness Campaigns

The rainy season presents challenges for advertising and marketing. It is the perfect season for people to stay indoors, therefore limiting the exposure and impressions that a brand might get with outdoor advertisements and marketing campaigns. How do you establish and maintain brand visibility during this chilly weather?

Target consumers’ homes

If the consumers will not come outside then you must come to the consumers. This does not necessarily mean go door to door and shill your product. Rather, give them your logo printed merchandise that they will be able to use at home. Since consumers will be spending most of their time indoors during the cold and rainy season, promotional homeware products will serve as the perfect advertising tool to build brand exposure and recall.
