Summer's here — the sun is high, but while some agents coast into vacation mode, you’re ready to turn up the heat! Here’s a full-blown 8-week marketing campaign to help you build visibility, generate leads and keep those listings moving through the hot season.

☀️ WEEK 1: Launch your “Summer Home Goals” series

  • Theme: Showcase listings perfect for summer living — pools, patios, A/C, bright kitchens.
  • Action: Create a weekly IG carousel or reel featuring a “summer dream home.”
  • Bonus: Hire an iGUIDE Service Provider to create immersive virtual tours so clients can browse from the beach.

🎯 Goal: Drive more traffic to listings while positioning yourself as the go-to for lifestyle properties. Shape

☀️ WEEK 2: Summer giveaway time

  • Theme: Host a local giveaway — think beach gear, concert tickets, or a gift card to a local ice cream spot.
  • Action: Ask people to tag a friend + follow your page for a chance to win.
  • Bonus: Collect email addresses via a form shared across your social channels (and link to your Instagram bio) for future nurture campaigns.

🎯 Goal: Boost engagement, grow your social audience and start conversations with potential buyers/sellers. Shape

☀️ WEEK 3: Behind-the-scenes content blitz

  • Theme: “A Day in the Life of a Real Estate Agent (Summer Edition)”
  • Action: Share BTS content of showings, prep work, client meetings — and yes, even that mid-day iced coffee stop.
  • Bonus: Show off how tools like iGUIDE help you save time while delivering premium results (share stats from your iGUIDE Analytics report).

🎯 Goal: Build trust and relatability. People want to work with humans, not highlight reels. Shape

☀️ WEEK 4: Mid-summer market update

  • Theme: What's really happening in the local market?
  • Action: Film a short 60-second video or write a quick blog breaking down local trends (inventory, prices, time-on-market).
  • Bonus: Offer a free home value estimate at the end to capture seller leads.

🎯 Goal: Establish authority while capturing both buyer and seller interest. Shape

☀️ WEEK 5: Client spotlight week

  • Theme: Celebrate your past buyers and sellers.
  • Action: Share their stories, before-and-after photos or a quick interview (with permission).
  • Bonus: Encourage them to tag your business or leave a Google review.

🎯 Goal: Strengthen social proof and highlight your client care. Shape

☀️ WEEK 6: “Ask Me Anything” livestream or Q&A series

  • Theme: Answer common real estate questions in a relaxed, summery vibe.
  • Action: Host an Instagram Live or post a “Q&A Friday” answering top questions from followers.
  • Bonus: Reuse the clips as evergreen social content.

🎯 Goal: Drive interaction while showcasing your knowledge and approachability. Shape

☀️ WEEK 7: Summer listing refresh

  • Theme: Refresh your current listings with new marketing materials.
  • Action: Get creative — try fun touches like snapping a selfie with a lemonade (tiny umbrella included!) at the property’s key summer spots and re-share on all platforms.
  • Bonus: Add an iGUIDE Virtual Tour if you haven’t already — it helps listings stand out and reduces days on market.

🎯 Goal: Revitalize stale listings and attract new attention. Shape

☀️ WEEK 8: Celebrate & call to action

  • Theme: Wrap up the campaign with a big thank-you and a strong CTA.
  • Action: Post a video or carousel reviewing your summer campaign wins — and invite people to reach out before the fall rush.
  • Bonus: Tease what’s coming in the fall (market shifts, back-to-school moves, sneak peak of properties ‘coming-soon’).

🎯 Goal: Keep momentum going and encourage last-minute summer clients to take action. Shape

Final thoughts: Marketing that sizzles

An intentional, well-paced campaign keeps you front and center all summer long — while still giving you room to breathe (and maybe sneak in a long weekend or two).

With tools like iGUIDE making your listings look professional and polished with minimal effort, you’ve got more time to focus on what really moves the needle: connection, consistency and creativity.

So grab your sunglasses, queue up a fun playlist and make things happen this summer!
