Creating Your Annual Promotional Plan

The beginning of the year is a great time to think about your annual promotional plan.

  • When will you offer themed sales? On traditional nationally celebrated holidays, shopper holidays like Black Friday, themed months or days like October’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month or Groundhog Day?
  • What e-mails will you send out and why? Monthly updates, new merchandise arrivals, service alerts, secret sales, special discounts or simply leverage a non-traditional holiday as a way to stay top of mind.
  • What images or alerts will you post on social media? Promotional offers, photos of the fun happening at your store, community activities you’re involved with?
  • What contest will you create to spark engagement or use to collect customer data? Enter to win a shopping spree or share a rating on social media, etc

Create an Annual Promotional Calendar

Timing is one of the most important components in creating a successful promotions program. To maximize profitability, promotional initiatives have to be coordinated, promoted and launched at very specific intervals. If you are planning a summer promotion – such as golf deals, vacation getaway sweepstakes, or summer camp specials – you need to secure these offers weeks, if not months, in advance of your scheduled promotion time. It’s also critical to communicate key timing to your team to ensure they know what the terms and conditions are as well as ensure staffing is appropriate when more customers are likely to visit.

Here are some samples of how promotional calendars have been used.

Wacky, Whimsical, Wonderful… Consider Fun & Unusual Celebrations

Use for consumer promotions or employee engagement

Looking for a reason to communicate with customers or celebrate with your team?  Look no further, this list will provide you with creative non-traditional national recognition days for a wide variety of reasons (products, lifestyle and special interest groups).

These national non-traditional holidays also offer companies creative ways to motivate their internal teams. For example, managers could surprise employees on National Pancake Day or have fun internal parties to boost morale on Talk Like A Pirate Day. Special thanks to National Day Calendar and BrownieLocks who compiled a comprehensive list of non-traditional holidays. The list below offers monthly, weekly and daily observations.
