January is here.
You know what that means?
The holidays.
They’re gone.
Christmas is more than 11 months away.
And 2017 is here.
No more feasting. No more partying. No more festive cheer with friends and family.
Instead, this is what you have to confront each and every weekday…
I’m not sure about you, but for some reason going to work after indulging in everything holidays was all a little bit too much.
That alarm clock tune seemes more like the unstoppable shriek of the workplace monster coming to steal your soul.
Too much?
Regardless, that first day back looks pretty much the same for everyone right?
It’s just you, your sadness, your lack of sleep, and the pillow you strapped to your head…
For us ecommerce folk, January is a particularly important month
Firstly, you have no excuses.
Christmas shopping has come and gone. Boxing Day sales is over. The new year has begun and there’s a whole year of possibilities ahead. It’s your job to make growth and success happen.
Your blank 2017 marketing plan is staring you right in the face.
The good news – you have a clean slate, a fresh outlook and a precious chunk of planning time after the bedlam of the ecommerce silly season.
But we all know dominating the new year is not as simple as dartboarding a few resolutions and hoping for the best.
To increase your chances of success, there’s one thing you and your ecommerce marketing team need to complete one important task…
It’s time to plan your 2017 retail calendar
As much as we ecommerce folk wish next year would just mind its own business until the bedlam of Christmas shopping is over, 2017 refuses to be silenced.
That evil new year is knocking on your office door right now, nagging you and your lack of marketing preparation.
Your sales promotions, and media plans, and editorial calendars won’t figure themselves out – unfortunately the opposite is still true.
And now is the time to plan out the next 12 months of your marketing program to make sure you don’t miss a chance to attract, convert or delight more customers online.
I know how busy you must be. It’s planning time, holidays are over and I’m sure you’re busy juggling an ever-expanding to do list.
We Gorillas want to make that new year planning process a little easier for you.
So we put together an updated 2017 Ecommerce Calendar for you.
