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!

Ep. 6 is out now: The Season of Letting Go 🌊

When Erica’s fifth grader came home upset about a history test, the old Erica would have spiraled. Did we study enough? What does this say about me as a mom? This time, she let it go. They made a simple plan for next time and went to bed.

This episode is about that kind of letting go, with the little things and the big ones. Erica gets into how AI is shaking the ground under her business (and why she’s loving it), what it takes to step back and let your team lead even when it’s not done exactly your way, and how she makes decisions from a place of calm when everything is moving at once.

Most businesses run their channels in silos. Ads over here, SEO over there, social doing its own thing. Nobody's connecting them.

And a lot of the time they're not just disconnected, they're not that strategic to begin with. Both things hold you back. The real wins come when your channels are actually good and actually working together, all pointed at the same goal.

Once they're connected, your numbers start making sense. You can finally see what's driving your leads instead of guessing between platforms that never agree.

That's what we build for our clients. Want to see if yours are pulling in the same direction? Let's talk.

Everyone wants the top spot on Google. Our goal is to get you there, first page and ultimately the #1 spot, in the shortest amount of time possible.

We'll be honest with you though: SEO is a long game and results take time. We tell clients to expect little movement in the first 3 months after setup, then slow, steady growth month over month, as long as you're keeping up with monthly maintenance.

The clients who win at this treat it as a long game. That's exactly how we run it, and we've got the rankings to show for it.

Curious where you stand today? Let's talk. DM us or visit theminacompany.com

Ep. 5 is out now: Do It Scared 🥋

Erica gets into the part of growth nobody likes to talk about. Not the shiny goal, and not the moment you finally feel good at something, but the awkward middle where you're a beginner again, your inner voice is screaming at you to quit, and nothing is guaranteed.

It starts with her seven-year-old melting down in the car before moving up to a harder jujitsu class, and turns into the thing every business owner needs to hear. The people who make it aren't the ones who felt ready. They're the ones who did it scared and stayed in the awkward middle long enough to find their footing.

If you're standing at the edge of a big scary next step right now, this one's for you.

Read those two slides again. Same situations, two completely different responses.

One side is protecting revenue. The other is protecting you, even when the honest answer costs us the upsell, the extra scope, or the deal itself.

Open and honest communication is one of our core values, and this is what it actually looks like in practice. Not a line on our website, but the thing we choose in the moments where spinning it would be easier. Telling you what dipped. Telling you to cut what isn't working. Telling you when we might not be the right fit before you've signed anything.

That kind of honesty is uncomfortable sometimes. It's also the only thing a real relationship can be built on.

Which side has your marketing been on?
