A marketing calendar is an essential tool for any guerrilla marketer. It's a simple and effective way to plan, organize, and execute your marketing activities.
A marketing calendar can help you to:
- Plan your budget: By mapping out your marketing activities for the year, you can get a clear picture of your expected costs and avoid any unforeseen expenditures.
- Ensure consistency: A calendar helps you to maintain a consistent presence in the market and avoid any long lapses in your marketing.
- Coordinate your efforts: It allows you to see how all of the different pieces of your marketing plan fit together and ensure that they are working in a coordinated way.
- Stay on track: A calendar provides a clear roadmap for your marketing, helping you to stay focused and on track with your goals.
Your marketing calendar should include:
- The weeks of the year.
- The marketing vehicles you will use each week.
- The specific promotions or events you will be running.
- The length of each promotion.
- Any fusion marketing partnerships you have planned.
- The cost of each promotion.
By creating and using a marketing calendar, you can bring a new level of order and discipline to your marketing, and significantly increase your chances of success.
