It’s that time to look ahead and consider what’s available to the smart direct response marketer to create…
…a marketing calendar for December 2024.
That is to say, occasions, events and anniversaries that we can use as the building block for marketing campaigns and promotions.
December of course means…
…CHRISTMAS…
…with the NEW YEAR not far behind as a marketing event.
New Year provides a great marketing opportunity for pretty much any business.
Even now in November, it’s not too early to run with the theme…
…”Make 2025 Your Best Year”…
…which can apply to businesses in health, relationships, personal finance and success in general.
In December, New Year’s resolutions will be on people’s mind…
…so this is an excellent time to promote any kind of personal development product…
…as well as business-oriented offerings.
Remember to plan and launch your New Year promotion well in advance and in good time for January 1.
With Christmas, keep in mind…
…any specific customs in your area.
For example, in Sweden the Yule season starts on December 13 with Santa Lucia Day.
It’s also the December Solstice on December 21 (at 09.20 UTC…09.20 GMT…check the time in your location).
This year also sees the 13th of the month falling on a…FRIDAY!
