Early January is typically a sluggish time where not much marketing activities happen. So, why not make your marketing ideas for 2017 in place, allocate budget and chart out the marketing schedule in the first quarter itself. Many businesses allocate more budget for the last quarter and often overlook the first quarter completely.

Americans are famous for their short attention span, which means that they need to be reminded periodically about your brand. Opting for a low key first quarter promotional campaign will be a huge mistake as you may have to remind your customers that you are around and reintroduce your brand periodically as the year progresses.Promotional 2017 Inspiration Stapled Wall Calendars

January is a great time for rebranding

January, the beginning of the year will make a great time for marketers planning rebranding and to highlight their business strengths. Promotional costs are typically less during the first quarter since fewer businesses will be active in their promotional campaigns, which means less competition for prime slots. This time of the year is great to position your brand in niche markets and to create more impressions in the minds of your customers and ensure the highest ROI. The first best impression about your brand in the early part of the year will prove to be beneficial as business owners need not introduce their brand again as the year progresses.

A strong foundation will help you to initiate a strong marketing campaign and help you reach the goals. So, make sure you have the right set of plans for January as it could lead to your most profitable year!
