It’s hard to believe that we’re almost halfway through 2017!

If you aren’t hitting your numbers the way you’d like, try one of the ideas below to increase revenue for your business.
June is also full of holidays your business can take part in, like Father’s Day, Summer Solstice, and Social Media Day.
You can send a timely email to your audience in a matter of minutes, using Constant Contact’s professionally designed email templates.
Here’s an example of one of our email templates for Father’s Day:
Your business can also push sales by holding a special Summer Solstice event and extending your store hours.
Or, celebrate Social Media Day on June 30th by encouraging your customers to post a photo of themselves at your business. Offer a prize to the person who gets the most engagement on their photo — and you’ll benefit from some increased exposure to a relevant audience.
