August is the perfect time to reconnect with your audience and keep your business in the spotlight. Parents, teachers, and students are all getting ready for a new school year, which makes this a great time to promote anything that helps them stay organized or save a little extra. There are also plenty of other opportunities this month — like National Wellness Month and National Sandwich Month — and we’re here to help you make the most of them, whether that’s sharing self-care tips or highlighting food specials that keep customers coming back for more.

Sending one text a week is an easy way to stay connected without overwhelming your audience. Mix it up with helpful updates, special offers, or even a motivational quote here and there. If you’re not sure where to start, we’re here to help you plan your August messages and make the most of the month!
