]]> There are thirteen federal holidays on most calendars. If you add special remembrances like National Women’s History Month, you have multiple opportunities to do something special to marketing your business or provide something special to the marketplace. All it takes is a little bit of imagination and the ability to plan ahead.

In this session, you will learn:
• How to decide which holidays to choose for a focused campaign or offering (because you probably don’t want to do all of them).
• How to make special offers without cannibalizing the rest of your year.
• How to create a holiday marketing plan.
