Who’s thinking about Valentine’s Day in December? Who’s thinking about Christmas in June? If you have an retail business, planning ahead is critical.

Success means putting your seasonal products in front of buyers before the holiday, when it’s time for them to buy; it means pitching your products to magazines and blogs when they are ready to hear your message.

Consider your Valentine products.

What if you want to pitch your Valentine products to print magazines? When do you need to start thinking about that?

What about blogs? When should you craft your pitch and let bloggers know about your Valentine goodies?

What about your mailing list? And facebook? When should you post your Valentine products?

And then there’s your production time to consider. How long does it take you to conceive, create, photograph and get your Valentine product ready to pitch or post online in your shop? Add that time to your planning.

And that’s just one holiday!

Getting your message out at the right time means planning ahead and that is what this marketing calendar workbook will help you do. Get started now!
