Spring Breaks that Work for Your Business and Your Family

Spring break with the family and a chance to write it off as a business expense? Absolutely! Here are some ideas that combine fun and work for your online business:

Content Creation Spring Break:

  • Destination Reviews: Plan a trip to a family-friendly destination and create content around it. Write blog posts, reviews, or even film vlogs about the location, activities, restaurants – all geared towards your target audience. Focus on experiences relevant to your business. For example, if you sell swimwear, highlight the beaches and water activities.
  • Spring Break Product Showcase: Head somewhere scenic and use it as a backdrop to showcase your products. Plan photo shoots featuring family members modeling your products (think activewear for a hike, sunglasses by the pool, makeup for summer, jewerly for the beach, etc.).
  • Educational Spring Break: Take a trip that allows you to learn new skills relevant to your business. This could be a photography workshop, a social media marketing conference, or even a course on a new software program. Document your learning journey and share insights with your audience.

Workation Spring Break:

  • Remote Work Retreat: Rent a cabin or beach house with good wifi and set specific work hours for the family. Balance those hours with fun activities and exploring the surroundings.
  • Volunteer & Give Back: Combine a family vacation with volunteering for a cause related to your business. For example, if you sell eco-friendly products, volunteer for a beach clean-up. Document the experience and share it with your audience, promoting your brand values.
  • Family Brainstorming Session: Escape the usual environment and dedicate time to brainstorming new ideas for your business with the whole family. This 
  • could be a fun and creative way to approach marketing campaigns, product development, or future business strategies.
