Excellent Themes for Early Year Promotions
A successful marketing campaign early in the year can benefit your bottom line through every quarter. January and February offer a number of holidays and national observances that can be used to increase the impact of your promotions.

The first two months of the year are the perfect time to start any campaign focusing on health and fitness. In addition to the many New Year's resolutions made committing to healthy living, these months also include:
- National Blood Donor Month (January)
- Family Fit Lifestyle Month (January)
- International Quality of Life Month (January)
- American Heart Month (February)

Healthcare is a concern for everyone. Using one of these as the theme of your early year promotions will help build goodwill for your company and brand. This type of promotion will show customers and prospects alike that you share their concerns and really care about them.

If you are looking for something outside of the box, get creative and celebrate one of these fun February holidays.
- Groundhog Day (February 2nd)
- Valentine's Day (February 14th)
- President's Day (February 20th)

The majority of companies do a push in December to thank their customers with gifts and giveaways, so January and February are typically less saturated. This down time offers a great opportunity to create a promotion that will really stand out. Plan a successful campaign in the first few months and you could be reaping the rewards all year long.
