Beat the Summer Slump: Creative Mid-Year Promotions That Actually Work

For many firearms retailers, summer can feel like a sluggish season. The holidays are over, hunting season hasn’t started, and customers are more focused on vacations than visiting their local gun store. Foot traffic slows, cash flow tightens, and the calendar seems to stretch forever until fall. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Mid-year slumps are normal—but they’re not inevitable.

This slower season is actually an opportunity in disguise. It's your chance to try creative promotions, re-engage customers, and clear out slow-moving inventory before the busy season ramps up again. The key is being intentional and strategic.
