Ah, summer. Sun’s out, inbox is full of out-of-office replies, and your marketing calendar… might be looking a little too chill.

But here’s the good news: you don’t need to plan a 12-week extravaganza to heat up your engagement. Sometimes, the best campaigns are the ones you can pull off fast

Here are three summer marketing campaigns you can launch in just 48 hours. Yes, really.

Focuses and Media

1. The Giveaway

Goal: Boost social engagement and grow your email list

Time Needed: 2–4 hours

People love free stuff, and summer is prime time for a themed giveaway. Think: beach bundles, local ice cream shop gift cards, or a custom-branded cooler.

How to pull it off:

  • Choose a summer-y prize (make it local or relevant to your business).
  • Use a tool like Google Forms to collect entries and emails.
  • Promote it on Instagram, Facebook, and your email list. Bonus points for asking people to tag a friend.

2. The Content Series

Goal: Position your brand as helpful + increase saves and shares

Time Needed: 1 day (then schedule for the month)

Weekly summer tips are super scroll-stoppable. Think: bite-sized, value-packed advice that’s easy to post and heart.

How to pull it off:

  • Pick a theme that ties into what you offer
  • Write 4 quick tips and pop them into branded templates.
  • Schedule them for every Tuesday.

3. The Service Spotlight

Goal: Re-engage your audience with a timely service push

Time Needed: 1–2 hours

Summer is the season of resets. Parents are juggling new schedules, routines are shifting, and people finally have time to think about the things they’ve been putting off (like booking that service they bookmarked three months ago). 

This is your chance to gently nudge them into action.

How to pull it off:

  • Choose one service to spotlight—ideally one that solves a summer-specific problem or helps prep for fall.
  • Write a short, punchy email + social post around it with a clear CTA (e.g. “Book a free consult,” “Grab your spot before August fills up!”).
  • Consider adding a limited-time perk, like a free 15-min strategy call or bonus session if booked by a certain date.
