As we approach another vibrant summer, it’s the perfect opportunity to refine your brand and editorial content strategies. Reflecting on past trends, we can map out your content schedules for maximum engagement.
Here are some engaging topic ideas that our editorial team at Fifth Story recommends. These topics are likely to captivate both media outlets and audiences:
Outdoor living
As Canadians cherish the warm summer months, content about maximizing outdoor spaces is always a hit. Topics like innovative gardening tips, stylish patio or backyard decorating ideas, and essential outdoor maintenance are sure to draw interest.
Summer and barbecue recipes
Serve your audience with enticing barbecue recipes, refreshing summer drink ideas, and quick, delicious meals perfect for any summer evening.
Budget-conscious travel
With high inflation and interest rates, Canadians are having to scale back their travel plans, but they still want to take a vacation. Suggest day-trip destinations, camping tips, road trip plans, or ways to pare back expenses for travel abroad, such as last-minute deals and home exchanges.
Hot weather physical activities
The summer season invites more outdoor activity. Articles or segments on sun and swimming safety, along with how-to guides for summer sports like waterskiing or standup paddleboarding (SUP), will engage those looking to enjoy the outdoors actively and safely.
Wellness and self-care
Offer content on summer wellness routines, effective sun protection practices and relaxing mindfulness exercises that complement the leisurely pace of the season.
Reconnecting through leisure
As routines adjust to the warmer weather, content that helps readers make the most of their summer – whether through family activities, outdoor fitness or hobby-related pursuits – will resonate well. Provide tips on engaging in enriching summer activities that foster personal growth and community connection.
