Pride Month– a time to celebrate the historically marginalized LGBTQ+ community – may be coming to an end, but celebrating shouldn’t.

We compiled the latest research and campaign tips to celebrate diverse representation.

Veterans Day: Celebration Sales & Military Discounts

Veterans Day: Celebration Sales & Military Discounts

by | Jun, 2022 | Content, Native Advertising

Friday, November 11, 2022, is this year’s Veterans Day. This legal holiday is dedicated to American veterans of all wars. The weekend is often an honorary event to celebrate retired military personnel. This celebratory event is also a chance for brands to offer promotions and discounts for veterans.

To honor veterans on this day, brands can also include special merchandise such as custom flags, t-shirts, bags, and badges that veterans would like. Running such campaigns, even if they are small, would be a great way for businesses to show their appreciation and gratitude for the ex-soldiers that served their country.

Other than the discounts and offers being put up at multiple stores during Veterans Day, veterans also receive other benefits all year round, both during and after retirement. For example, disability compensation (which can be calculated using a VA disability calculator), support for veteran-owned small businesses, and even more life insurance options.

Coming back to the main topic, here’s what you need to know about offers and discounts on Veteran’s Day.

Veterans & Active Military Discounts

Veterans and active military members are most drawn to brands that offer specific discounts catered to them. If you run a physical store, consider custom signage honoring Veteran’s Day and announcing the discounts so nobody can miss them. They’ll be more likely to purchase from a brand offering a specific discount and will be more loyal to that brand going forward.

Our recommendation: Work with [b]+studio to include Veteran’s Day and military promotions in your creative assets. Promotions consistently see the highest engagement in creative assets. Maximize Bidtellect’s first-to-market context demographics targeting to skew supply towards target demographic characteristics.

of military members said they would shop at a brand more often when given a personalized offer (SheerID)

Veterans Day is a Big Retail Sale Weekend

Veteran’s Day is another chance for general retail sales and promotions. Reach consumers already shopping and researching online – trends show consumers are preferring online shopping or at least researching online versus in-store.

Our recommendation: Many sites will compile lists of upcoming veterans’ discounts along with general Veteran’s Day sales across verticals. Utilize Bidtellect’s contextual targeting technology combined with predictive audiences to reach target consumers researching relevant veterans’ and sale content. Utilize keywords to find sites with these keywords and phrases.

On average, respondents estimated that 58% of their total apparel spending over the previous 12 months took place via online channels (eMarketer, 2022)

We hope these Veterans Day digital trends and strategy recommendations help you plan your campaigns! Remember to keep veterans and military discounts in mind, and reach consumers with retail sales and promotions in your creative assets and using context-driven technologies.

Focusing on genuine representation and building a connection with all communities builds trust with consumers and ultimately builds brand loyalty. It is imperative to not only represent minorities within advertisements, but also to normalize the presence of non-heteronormative bodies within the media. While we have a long way to go, learning and reading more about it is a great place to start.

PRIDE MONTH EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT: Members of the LGBTQ+ Community at Bidtellect

PRIDE MONTH EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT: Members of the LGBTQ+ Community at Bidtellect

by | Jun, 2022 | Culture

In honor of Pride Month, we have highlighted members of the LGBTQ+ community at Bidtellect to hear about their experiences and advice on how to best support and celebrate Pride at work.

headshot tyler hazlewood with text

Pride is more than just a rainbow flag.

What has your experience been like in the workforce being a part of the LGBTQ+ community?

Being “out” in the workforce is different for every person. After struggling with coming out in college, I was nervous to be my authentic self in the workforce. I quickly learned, however, that our industry is full of allies and people who treat everyone the same way. It has been so peaceful and stress-free to be who I was created to be and not have to hide it for fear of termination or mistreatment.

 

How can team members in the (virtual) office be allies to the LGBTQ+ community?

Ask questions and understand situations that people that are LGBTQ+ have gone through. Be visible and proud of being an ally. Let those people in the LGBTQ+ community know that you support the community.

In what ways do you believe companies should be celebrating pride month? Do you believe there are ways companies should not be celebrating pride month?

Don’t only teach the history of Pride Month (i.e. the 1969 Stonewall riots that jump started the gay liberation movement in the U.S. and ultimately led to yearly celebrations of Pride), but also teach where things currently stand in terms of equal rights to all employees. Pride is more than just a rainbow flag. If organizations are going to celebrate Pride month, tell stories about the history of Pride and showcase people that have paved the way for the LGBTQ+ community, as well as ones who continue to do so in our current times.

What does it mean to embrace LGBTQ+ pride?

Be willing to learn, confront your own bias or privilege, encourage family and friends to be allies, learn from your possible past mistakes where you may not have been supportive, intervene when needed, get involved, and get educated. Treat people of the community with respect and the same way you would want to be treated.

How are you planning to celebrate this year?

I believe that truly embracing pride is to be fully accepting of yourself and others. It means knowing that all people deserve the same respect as anyone else. This means being comfortable with yourself and allowing and promoting others to feel the same way about themselves.

What has your experience been like in the workforce being a part of the LGBTQ+ community?

I’m very proud of who I am as a person.  In the past, anytime I encountered any sort of issue in the workplace regarding an aspect of my character, I relied on that confidence in myself to push through it. I also have a very open sense of humor, so if “gay jokes” were thrown around the workplace, I might have laughed along – but you’d better believe I cracked a joke that got right back at them. 😛

How can team members in the (virtual) office be allies to the LGBTQ+ community?

Vote to support people who care about human rights. You can be as nice as you want to your LGBTQ+ coworkers, but if you’re voting in support of a legislature that infringes on their rights, then your kind words are meaningless.

In what ways do you believe companies should be celebrating pride month? Do you believe there are ways companies should not be celebrating pride month?

Rainbows everywhere. (Only partially kidding.) The celebration of pride is very commonly focused on this one month, which, in my opinion, isn’t the best approach. This leads to a sense that the organization is only responsible for this support in one given month. In order to support our LGBTQ+ community, we need to make it clear that we support the LGBTQ+ community year round. This could be as simple as making it clear in our organization that discrimination is not allowed.

What does it mean to embrace LGBTQ+ pride?

Once again, rainbows. (Also only partially kidding.) I believe that truly embracing pride is to be fully accepting of yourself and others. It means knowing that all people deserve the same respect as anyone else. This means being comfortable with yourself and allowing and promoting others to feel the same way about themselves.

How are you planning to celebrate this year? 

I’m going to keep doing what I always do. I will keep on living my life authentically and I won’t be ashamed of who I am. I’m going to live my life proudly.
