How to Plan a Marketing Promotions Calendar

April 24, 2023

Have you ever sat down to plan out your sales, promotions, or events and ended up just staring at a blank screen for hours? Or, better yet, have you never even tried to plan ahead and have just been winging it every time? 

how to plan a marketing promotions calendar

Friend, this is your chance to reduce that anxiety and set yourself up for success by planning promotions for the next quarter or year ahead of time! Promotions go hand-in-hand to support your financials, a.k.a. how your business continues to live, so they’re an essential part of any successful business. 

We encourage people to plan their promotions a little differently than you might think; rather than basing it solely on financial goals, we recommend planning the specific dates of your promotions around your personal life – if your calendar is packed, you won’t have time to dedicate to that promotion to make it run smoothly. Plan financials first so you have a roadmap of how you can support those goals, but use your personal life and cyclical map to guide the specifics – you’ll be amazed at how smoothly it can come together!

Tune in to learn how to identify your marketing platforms, set deadlines, plan it out week by week, and put it in your calendar to set yourself up for your best year yet.

Tune in now!

If marketing your business feels like a full-time job, trust that feeling. It is one.

Our Aligned Growth Partnership is built for exactly this. Full-service strategy across SEO, ads, content, email, and conversion, handled by a team that works like an extension of yours. You stay close to the vision. We handle everything it takes to get there.

Viral is a moment. Profitable is a business. 

And chasing the moment is how marketing dollars get wasted, because a spike in views doesn't pay your team, and a trending audio doesn't build a client base.

Here's what chasing success actually looks like: one of our clients came to us with a small budget and one focused service. No flash, just strategy. The results grew, the revenue followed, and now they've added the other services they always wanted, because the growth paid for it. That's not luck. That's what sustainable marketing does. It builds on itself.

Slow, steady, and profitable beats fast, flashy, and broke. Every time.

If that's the kind of growth you're after, we should talk. DM us or visit theminacompany.com

School is back in full swing at our house, which means backpacks, lunchboxes, and the countdown to the first report cards of the year.

It got me thinking about my own. Turns out the comments from my teachers sound a lot like the reviews our clients leave today. ""Demonstrates leadership"" was apparently foreshadowing to owning a business. 

I was also voted most likely to be Donald Trump thanks to business club, which... aged differently than expected. But the entrepreneurial spirit? That part tracked.

The gold stars look a little different now, but the effort behind them hasn't changed a bit.

What did your report cards say about you? Tell us in the comments, we want to know if your teachers saw it coming too.

The Mina Network: Debbi Allison of Open Book Consulting.

Knowing not one, but two women in this space is a BLESSING! So if you dread opening QuickBooks, don't really understand your own financial reports, or have a bookkeeper but still feel totally in the dark about your numbers, Debbi is who I call.

She's built her business around more than just clean books. She teaches owners the story behind their numbers so they can run with clarity instead of being run over by them. Bookkeeping, QuickBooks training, financial coaching: whatever the entry point, Debbi's goal is always the same. She wants you to understand your finances well enough to make decisions from a place of strength, not stress.

What sets her apart is the education piece. She doesn't just hand you a report and disappear. She walks you through it, connects the numbers to the behaviors driving them, and helps you build the financial confidence to lead your business forward. She's an Advanced Certified QuickBooks Pro Advisor based right here in Northern Colorado and she's been doing this since 2010.
