NOVEMBER AMP CALENDAR

Planning your marketing two months ahead gives you a serious edge — both in execution and results. Here’s why it’s so powerful:

Better Timing & Relevance > You can align campaigns with seasonal events, holidays, and industry trends (instead of scrambling at the last minute). Ensures you hit your audience before they make purchasing decisions, not after. Let’s you ride momentum from bigger market events or your own promotions.

Higher Quality Output > More time to design creative assets, write copy, and refine messaging. Room for A/B testing or feedback before launch. Avoids the “rush job” look that can make campaigns feel sloppy or generic.

Cost Savings > Early booking of ads, print runs, or promo products often comes with discounts. You avoid rush fees for printing, shipping, or design. You can bundle campaigns to save on production costs.

Stronger Coordination > Gives sales, operations, and customer service teams a heads-up so they’re ready for leads and orders. Keeps social media, email marketing, website updates, and in-store promotions in sync.

Consistency & Momentum > Eliminates gaps in marketing activity (which can cause customers to forget you). Creates a predictable rhythm so your audience anticipates your next promotion. Planning lets you set-up follow-up campaigns that build on previous ones.

Better Measurement & Adjustment > Time to set clear goals and KPIs before launching. Space to analyze past performance and tweak upcoming campaigns. You can pivot or reallocate budget if early indicators show something isn’t working.
