August is a challenging month for Parisian restaurants, boutiques and other concepts. As Paris empties of its inhabitants, many places opt for a summer closure. If you want to make the most of this period, here are the tips you need to communicate effectively this summer.

August in Paris: a month often perceived as a slow period for establishments and events. Between Parisians deserting the capital and tourists focusing on certain emblematic districts, it can seem difficult to attract people. But with the right communications strategy, you can turn this period into a real opportunity! Here's how to boost your visibility and attract visitors all summer long.

Rely on high-impact digital communication

In summer, visitors plan their outings mainly online. To capture their attention, it's essential to adopt an effective digital strategy:

  • SEO optimization: A good Google ranking is essential. Make sure your establishment or event appears in the first search results.

  • Active presence on social networks: Instagram, TikTok and Facebook are your best allies for promoting your summer events and offers.

  • Targeted advertising: A well thought-out sponsored campaign reaches a qualified audience looking for summer experiences.
