1. LGBTQIA Pride Month

Everyone knows that June is Pride Month – and for good reason! The annual celebrations are nothing short of fabulous and the ultimate message of acceptance and equality is one to admire.

But, in recent years, consumers have become actively sensitive to the way some businesses might take marketing advantage of Pride Month. With a combined buying power of over $3.7 trillion, the LGBTQ+ community can usually tell which businesses are genuinely supportive and which ones are just hopping on the Pride Month sales wagon.

Want to hold a Pride Month sale? That’s great. But an idea for how to approach Pride Month marketing in a more sincere way can be by donating a percentage of proceeds from your sale to LGBTQ+ organizations.

An additional way to reach out can be by taking to social media to show your heartfelt support with a promotional-free message like this one below:

Showing your support (and meaning it) will communicate to your followers that you genuinely care about the LGBTQ+ community and you’re not just in it to make a quick buck.
