Spring is the perfect time to refresh your marketing calendar for the season ahead. The time of the spring clean is here with the approach of warmer weather and sunnier climes ahead. As ever, planning your digital marketing strategy is key to ensuring a successful spring marketing campaign and a digital marketing calendar is the ideal way to keep your marketing campaigns on track and current. Our spring digital marketing includes our top March marketing dates, April marketing dates, May marketing dates and key June digital marketing calendar dates to help you make an impact this spring.
Why Do I Need a Spring 2021 Marketing Calendar?
We previously discussed the importance of building a digital marketing calendar in our recent post, ‘Your 2021 Marketing Calendar’ here. But to recap, a digital marketing calendar helps you plan out the quarter, or season’s key digital marketing dates and ensure any national or world-wide dates that may affect your marketing activities are planned for. By keeping your digital marketing activities topical, they are more likely to grab the attention of potential customers and introduce them to your brand whilst keeping current customers engaged.
For example, February’s Valentine’s Day is one celebrated in a number of western countries and draws in a wealth of revenue for companies capitalising on its popularity to enhance their marketing around that time. By planning dates such as these into your spring digital marketing calendar, you will be highlighting potential opportunities to have some fun with your brand’s marketing efforts and planning for dates where your marketing plans could be potentially disrupted or lead to quiet periods for your company.
