Summer Sale Season
During the summer sales season, many brands think marketing slows down. In reality, it is an ideal time to run mobile-friendly contests and games that reach a relaxed and available audience on social media, websites or in-store. Fast, fun and addictive mechanics like arcade games, wheels of fortune or instant wins perform particularly well when people have more time to engage.
Whether you are running a summer Instagram campaign, a mobile contest to reach holidaymakers or a drive-to-store promotion in tourist areas, gamification is an excellent lever for maintaining engagement through the summer months.
Why leverage Summer Sale Season ?
The summer months are often seen as a quiet period in marketing, but they represent an underexploited opportunity. Your audience is relaxed, available and spending more time on mobile, which naturally increases interaction with marketing games.
This is the ideal moment for light and fun activations that maintain the connection with your community. Instant win mechanics and arcade games perform especially well thanks to the extra free time participants have during the summer.
Marketing insight
During summer, advertising competition decreases while mobile usage increases. This paradox is one that smart brands exploit effectively. A summer game helps you stay connected with your audience, recruit new leads (holidaymakers, seasonal audiences) and enter the back-to-school season with a richer, more qualified database. Acquisition costs are often lower than during peak commercial periods.
