UK Marketing Calendar: Key Dates for Campaigns

Plan around UK-specific dates.

Key moments

January sales, Valentine's Day, Mothering Sunday, Easter, May bank holidays, Father's Day, summer holidays, back to school, Halloween, Bonfire Night, Black Friday, Christmas and Boxing Day.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Copying competitors instead of testing your own offers
• Changing too many things at once, so you can't tell what worked
• Following up leads hours or days too late
• Stopping campaigns before they have enough data

Quick checklist before you start

• Accounts and data in your business name
• Landing page that matches the offer
• Weekly review of results and search terms
• Clear goal and budget for the next three months
• A follow-up process for every enquiry

Key takeaway

Key UK marketing dates: January sales, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day (March), bank holidays, summer, back to school, Bonfire Night, Black Friday and Christmas. Start with one clear goal, measure results from day one and keep accounts and data in your own name, so you stay in control whatever partner you work with.
