A Summer Business Bucket List for 2025

Summer isn’t just a time for iced coffees and vacations — it’s actually one of the best seasons to pause, reset, and work on your business instead of just in it. Whether you’re a beauty pro, service-based entrepreneur, or creative, there’s magic in using the slower season intentionally. Here’s your simplified Summer Business Bucket List for 2025 — just 6 powerful moves to make that’ll help you finish the year strong by thinking ahead.

1. Refresh Your Digital Presence

Take a day to update your Instagram bio, pinned posts, and website. Make sure everything reflects the season, your current offers, and who you’re speaking to now — not last year’s version of you.

Need help with this? Inside ElevateHER, we walk through refining your online presence so it matches your next-level goals.

2. Host (or Attend) One Networking Event

Summer is prime time for relaxed connections — coffee meetups, pop-ups, or casual networking events can lead to referrals, collabs, or clients down the line. In the beauty industry things slow down as the heat turns up. So turn up your relaxation time and make it productive and help your business remain profitable!

3. Plan a Summer-Only Promo

Create a simple, time-sensitive offer to re-engage existing clients or attract new ones. Think: a mini package, seasonal upgrade, or limited-time bundles. We love to advertise the lash lift and tint with brow bundles for summer! Meet your clients needs where they are.

4. Audit Your Client Experience

What little touch would surprise and delight your clients this summer? Maybe it’s iced lavender towels, a seasonal treat, or faster follow-up systems. Take advantage of your IG stories and ask questions on polls and follow up with conversations in person during the service. You would be surprised at the clients willing to provide you honest feedback!

5. Take a CEO Day

Block out a full day this summer to review your goals, offers, systems, and pricing. This is the kind of work we build into ElevateHER — because your business deserves your strategy brain, not just your service skills.

6. Commit to One Growth Move

This could be hiring help, launching a new offer, or finally joining that coaching container you’ve had your eye on. Your future self will thank you for starting now. Do it while you have the time to make moves!
