Looking Ahead – Marketing Calendar March 2009
Time for this month’s look ahead to noteworthy events in March that could provide focus for a marketing promotion or campaign.
March is a relatively thin month…
…but St Patrick’s Day (March 17) provides a potential opportunity.
Slightly more off beat, the Spring Equinox (in the Northern Hemisphere) or Autumn Equinox (Southern Hemisphere) is on March 20/21, depending on location.
In the UK it’s Mother’s Day on March 22.
Coming up in April is Easter which is a “biggie”, so worth planning ahead for that.
And this month, of course, we have Valentine’s Day this Saturday.
As always, if I missed something noteworthy, please feel free to post a comment.
