How to get your brand on the June Editorial Calendars
Summer is here - and hopefully the weather will improve – so add anything summery including summer clothing, swimwear, and push anything to do with outside so garden furniture, anything for a garden party, or a picnic or barbecue, and don’t forget to add all of the other spellings BBQ, Bar-B-Que etc and we’re also at the start of the festival season, so make sure you add festival, Glastonbury, to your keyword lists.
Media are starting to ramp up the summer holiday features so swimwear, suitcases, travel bags, travel accessories etc are all images and keywords that you should be adding. Some people are still staying at home, so it’s probably a good idea to think of holidays closer to home, so add in keywords and phrases like “staycation” “holistay” “holiday at home” to your keywords and why not suggest clothing like hoodies, and cardigans for the colder UK evenings.
Also look at sports, particularly anything tennis-related for Wimbledon.
