Keep The Drum Beating To Your Beat 365 Days A Year

If you're like any ordinary marketer and business owner, you would probably be looking at a marketing campaign one project at a time. In fact, your brochures and postcard marketing strategy might well be launched depending on when you planned it and when you've started preparing for all the necessary resources for said project.

But for those insiders and experts who learned from years of experience know that in order to get everyone excited and probably interested in what you have to say, there's a rhythm that should be followed based on the natural highs and lows of the seasons.

In order for your postcard marketing campaign to be successful the rest of the year, you need to keep the drum beating to your beat 365 days a year.

So how do experts do it?

One, by making sure that you're timing of your marketing campaign coincides with the needs of the media for stories on a particular time of the year. This means that when you introduce new products or publicize your stories you have to make them fit the media schedule and what they look out for during the seasons.

For the first quarter for example, most media people would be looking forward to what the rest of the year would bring in terms of predictions and trends. Hence, this is the perfect time to pitch stories on what your target clients can expect from your business like new products and new staff.

It is also during the first quarter that people would be interested in New Year's resolutions and how to make them work. So if you want to make sure that you get publicity on your stories during these times, then you should develop stories along these lines. You might also want to tie up your marketing stories with the key events from January to March.

Two, experts do come up with new stories based on the events, holidays and activities that are popular and celebrated during that particular season.

As I've said, it is better to align your new stories with the events that bring hype and energy not only to the people in the media but also to those who are going to read your articles e.g. your clients. Your stories would be able to get much media mileage if you coincide with the festivities or affairs celebrated every season. As with the first quarter, it is usually the time for the Super Bowl and the Academy Awards so it's the best time to have features and articles that you can relate to these activities.

Building your marketing campaign to coincide with an all-year publicity strategy can help you provide effective stories that the media would be interested in and your target clients would appreciate.
