Why It’s Important To Have An Email Marketing Calendar

Planning the correct email marketing calendar is one of the most important steps in running a successful email marketing. It’s important to ensure your email marketing calendar is accurate and up-to-date so you can stay ahead of the competition and keep your customers informed about special days throughout the year. 

The most important part of any email marketing strategy is creating and sending out emails on a regular basis. This helps to build a relationship with your customers and keep them updated on your products and services. 

By sending out emails regularly, your customers will be more likely to open, read and act on the emails you send them.

Preparing Your Marketing Strategy And Marketing Plan

Before you start, ask yourself these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve and how can you get there?

  2. What are your USPs? Why should people buy your products or services?

  3. What sales promotions can you offer (special deals, freebies, discounts…)?

  4. What distribution channels are best to achieve your goals?

When thinking about your holiday or special day marketing campaigns, remember to plan out your promotions in different stages:

  • Before The Actual Date: Let your customers know what’s coming ahead of time and how they can benefit from your promotions. 

  • During The Day Itself: Expose your big sales push via email and leverage any social media buzz.

  • After the main event: Don’t forget to follow up with those that converted to thank them for their purchase or offer additional products or services.

Keep in mind that a year has so many special dates, holidays, and marketing moments – planning is a must in business and in life!
