Packed full of prime marketing dates such as Halloween and Black Friday, Autumn is the perfect time to ramp up your digital marketing efforts.

We’ve put together some key autumn digital marketing dates for 2021 to keep your autumn 2021 marketing efforts flying ahead.
Why is a Seasonal Marketing Calendar Important?
When it comes to making the most of your digital marketing efforts, capitalising on seasonal events that might be celebrated or observed by your target audience can be a great way to make your marketing topical and connect with your target audience on a more personal level. Planning your digital marketing strategy in advance can also allow you to plan ahead for potentially quieter times or national events that may disrupt your marketing or sales efforts.
