            Although most of your revenue will happen during the summer months,
            you should be marketing your business over a much longer period. You
            will want to stay top-of-mind with parents, kids, tourists or
            whatever target market you’ve chosen. You can do this by having a
            great website, social media marketing, paid advertising, local
            flyers or whatever works for your business type. Remember to build
            excitement in the off months so you can add to your potential client
            list.

          <p>
            The location you work from will be defined by the type of summer
            business you start. You can run some seasonal businesses
            successfully from home, although other businesses may need a retail
            or specialized location. Remember that if you do need to rent space
            somewhere, get a short-term contract to ensure you’re not locked
            into a lease for a long period of time.
