How to use the 2021 calendars to elevate YOUR brand:

Map Out Your Plan

Use the calendars to populate your communications plan for the New Year and beyond mapping out three to six months in advance. Since each calendar has 12 months of content included, this should give you and edge on getting started with marketing activations including weekly social media posts to website updates, photography needs and more.

Create Relevant Content

The benefit of the calendars is to help you speak fluidly about relevant topics that both consumers and trade audiences are likely thinking about on any given month. Using the Produce Marketer’s Calendar you can get ahead on your tradeshow and event planning (yes, even for virtual shows) to prepare your budgets and communications accordingly with the key dates we’ve plotted in the document.
