Your timeline for success

: The most effective holiday campaigns start in September, then include additional phases over time. Here’s how to sequence your holiday strategy so you reach people throughout the entire season.
: Launch and inspire

Budget: Prioritize your budget for awareness campaigns so you’re top of mind as people start planning.

Creative: You can start running holiday messaging now, but you don’t have to. Even an increased presence at this time will help set you up for seasonal success.
: Shift into high gear

Budget: More people are ready to spend, so move more budget to conversion campaigns. Keep running awareness and consideration campaigns too, to start finding new prospects.

Creative: Start running holiday visuals for most (if not all) of your creative. Make sure you have strong CTAs so people can act now.
: Stick the finish

Budget: You’ll still see lots of purchases in December, so make sure to keep spend up and focused on performance.

Creative: At this point, people are searching for utility and convenience. Feature last-minute sales and label your shipping cutoff dates. Include clear, effective CTAs to help them check off their shopping list.
