Holiday season marketing - NOW is the time to start planning as a small business owner.

This week on the S.O.B. (Small Owned Business) Marketing podcast, Vivian and I are discussing the importance of early planning for holiday marketing. We list out key dates such as Black Friday (and even Thanksgiving!), the need to strategize marketing efforts well in advance, and we discuss some specific tips you can use in your holiday season marketing.

 

Vivian did the work for you and created a free Holiday Season Marketing Checklist! Download it here: https://theseasonedmarketer.com/holiday

 

We started a new segment at the beginning of our episodes: S.O.B. Marketing Hot Take! This episode we want to know if you’re Team Capitalism (and think it’s normal for people to shop on Thanksgiving day) or Team thanksgiving (and think people should wait until Black Friday). Let us know in the comments which team you are and why!
