OTHER IDEAS.

A BACK TO SCHOOL SERIES.
This is the perfect time to create an email newsletter series, blog post or social media posts and focus on back to school tips or products. You can even put together a back to school gift idea list for students (yes, reward them with something small and celebrate back to school!) or must-have essentials for busy mornings.

AN ULTIMATE GUIDE.
Your ultimate guide can include a list of things to do for September, Fall Activities or checklists for busy moms.

SEPTEMBER LOVE.
Create a post and ask your followers what they love about this month. This question will create conversations in addition will bring you some insight on what your customers like if you put together a graphic of what there is to love about the month or a product list for the season.

GRANDPARENTS DAY.
Offer a discount on your product, products or service for grandparents. You can also create a gift guide for this day and put together ideas that family members or friends can purchase for grandma or grandpa.
