July marketing overview: Summer skincare and wedding belles

July brings the summer's sunniest days and the busiest bridal season. As well as highlighting bikini waxes, body scrubs, and mani-pedis to get your customers beach-ready, shine the spotlight on sun protection.

As July marks UV Safety Awareness Month, consider offering Instagram skincare sessions focusing on sun protection, hydration, and post-sun care.

This month is also a fantastic time to introduce themed packages – a major revenue growth trend according to the Zenoti 2024 Beauty and Wellness Benchmark Report. Design packages for brides and bridal parties to achieve a radiant glow on the big day. Include everything from hair and makeup to skincare and aesthetic treatments.
