There's never been a more important time to raise awareness about climate change and sustainability. The Earth Hour movement is all about taking time out to reduce our impact on the planet and switching off the lights to reduce global energy usage.

There are so many ways your business could get involved in raising awareness for this cause, for example by using your platform to share tips and ideas and to get the word out there. The Earth Hour website also has plenty more ideas and resources for you to explore.

Earth Hour is an extremely important movement that your business should be part of.

April 12th - Coachella weekend begins

Coachella is known worldwide for being one of the biggest music festivals of the year and for many, marks the start of the summer season. With major stars headlining each year, thousands of celebrities, influencers and members of the public flock to this huge musical event, taking place over two weekends in the California desert.

As well as music, festival fashion is also a hot topic during Coachella. Perhaps your business can find a way to incorporate some of these themes into your April marketing campaigns. Some ideas may include organising a special event, creating a Coachella lookbook consisting of your products, or sharing travel tips.

May 6th - Met Gala

For years, the first Monday in May has been well known by the fashion community to mark the date of the Met Gala – considered by many to be "fashion's biggest night". The Gala is held annually in support of the New York Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute.

Each year there is a theme which invitees (largely consisting of prominent celebrities and influencers) are expected to reflect in their outfit choices. For 2024, the theme is "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion".

As one of the most talked about events of the year, this could be a unique campaign opportunity for your business, especially if you are operating in the fashion or lifestyle industries. Met viewing parties or live commentaries are growing in popularity, or you could try creating content that provides insight on this year's theme.

June 1st - LGBT Pride Month begins

In the USA, and many other countries worldwide, June 1st signifies the beginning of LGBT Pride Month. During this time, events and parades are often held to celebrate LGBT people and promote tolerance and equality.

In recent years, more and more businesses have been getting involved and showing their support for the LGBT Pride movement. Whether that be for their LBGT members of staff, LGBT customers, or simply to demonstrate the company's overall values.

Consider taking this opportunity to hold a special Pride event, give LGBT voices a platform, or simply share a few words with your email subscribers about the importance of acceptance and tolerance.

The Mail Designer 365 Pride Collection contains a selection of bold email templates you can use to celebrate love and equality for everyone this Pride Month.

July 26th - Start of the 2024 Olympic Games

Held every four years, the Olympics are without a doubt one of the world's biggest sporting events and have people worldwide glued to their TV screens. In 2024, the Olympic Games will take place in Paris, France.

Like any major sporting event, the Olympics offer a great amount of marketing potential for your business – whether you're creating a special product range, holding an event or viewing party, or encouraging people to get active. See how you can incorporate these themes into your marketing strategy from July 26th - August 11th!

August 26th - Women's Equality Day

Most have heard of International Women's Day (March 8th), but August 26th also marks another important occasion for women in the US. Women's Equality Day is an annual day of recognition, commemorating the anniversary of women receiving the right to vote in the USA.

If a percentage of your audience is based in the US, this is a great opportunity to show your support for equal rights by sending out a dedicated email campaign. Need inspiration? Check out our marketing guide.

September 21st - Oktoberfest begins

Taking place annually in Munich, Germany since 1810, Oktoberfest is the world's largest beer festival (Volksfest). Each year, millions of visitors travel from within Germany and abroad to Munich to join in the celebrations which usually take place during the last two weeks of September up until the first Sunday of October.

Oktoberfest or Wiesn is renowned for its fun, party atmosphere – something which you could try incorporating into your campaigns during this period. For example, an Oktoberfest themed menu at your restaurant or a community beer festival.

October 10th - World Mental Health Day

The importance of taking care of your mental health is something which is being emphasised more and more. World Mental Health Day allows your business to use your platform to raise awareness.

You could run a social media campaign inspiring people to open up and support one another, or set up a charitable campaign encouraging donations to leading mental health organisations. Alternatively, sharing tips and resources on dealing with common mental health problems is another useful way your business can help show support.

Mental health matters: World Mental Health Day falls on October 10th

November 25th - Small Business Saturday

Everyone's heard of Black Friday but have you heard of Small Business Saturday? As the name suggests, this is a day to show support for small, independent businesses in the run up to the holiday sales season.

If you are a small business owner, this is a great focus for your main seasonal sales campaign to drive more customers to your physical store or website.

Taken from the US Chamber of Commerce website:

"Small Business Saturday... encourages consumers to support local businesses by shopping small. American Express launched this shopping holiday in 2010, at the height of the Great Recession, as a way of redirecting holiday shopping to local stores. A decade later, it’s observed in all 50 states, and in 2011, the Senate passed a resolution recognizing Small Business Saturday."

December 6th - St Nicholas Day

St Nicholas Day is a Christian celebration based on the origins of Father Christmas. The holiday is celebrated in many countries throughout Europe, including France, Germany and Belgium, and provides a chance for your business to get super festive in early December. Especially if you have a big target audience in Europe, holding a sale or special event around this time could be a great warm up for Christmas.

Celebrate St. Nicholas Day in the run up to Christmas.

Getting started with Email Marketing in 2024

We hope we have given you some ideas and inspiration for your 2024 email marketing calendar. Alongside the regular holidays and events in your planner, these events should give you some fresh and interesting new subject matter to create engaging emails with in 2024.

Best Practice for Back to School Email Campaigns

By Team equinux Mail Designer 365 Newsletter Academy, Newsletter Academy

As the peak of summer edges closer, so does the start of the back to school season. In many sectors, the back to school season is one of the most significant sales periods on the marketing calendar and kick starts an array of exciting promotions to help gear up students and parents alike for a new academic year.

For many, the back to school period is synonymous with getting stocked up with supplies: Whether it's a new wardrobe, textbooks, study equipment, tech, or other school essentials, your customers will be in the mood to buy. For this reason, a back to school promotion is a great way to put your business on their radar.

The Back to School period is a major shopping event for parents and students alike

In this post, we're sharing the basics of back to school email marketing, along with some best practice examples of some of our favorite back to school email campaigns and steps on how to recreate them for your business.

When is the back to school period?

In the United States, Canada, the UK and Europe, most schools start to resume from the end of August. However, depending on where you're located, the official back to school period may have a different start date.

For example, in Australia and New Zealand, the back to school season starts in January, as schools there resume in February.

What should I include in my back to school emails?

Looking to create a back to school promotion for the first time or want to freshen up your previous campaign with some new ideas? Here are a few ideas of content you can include in a successful back to school marketing campaign.

New product launches

What better time to launch a new product than the start of a new school year? Use your email campaign to showcase new product lines that are bound to keep customers looking and feeling fresh for a new academic year.

Checklists

The start of the school year can be a stressful time for many. With so much to organize and buy, customers may be feeling the pressure.

Clearly present your back to school essentials in the form of a handy checklist or shopping guide which readers can refer back to to ensure they've covered everything they need to.

Tip: Include direct links to any products you mention to make the shopping process even easier.

Discounts and multibuy offers

With so much to buy, a promotion or offer can also be a saving grace for many customers - especially for families with multiple children who need new school supplies.

An attractive multibuy offer such as "3 for 2" or "buy one get one free" can serve as an effective incentive for your customers to buy more and truly stock up on all they need.

Free express shipping

Some of your customers may have left things to the last minute - we're all guilty of it! To ensure they have everything they need on time, consider offering free or discounted express shipping as an added bonus.

Tips and tutorials

As well as standard sales emails, you can also go the extra mile and provide your readers with some more educational content.

In particular, students heading off to university or college for the first time or parents preparing for their child's first day at school will certainly appreciate any tips or advice they can get.

Think about some practical tips or ideas related to your core business and products that you think could benefit your target audience. As well as helping your customers, showing your products in relatable, real life situations makes your campaign much more relevant and effective.

Examples of back to school email campaigns

To help you get inspired for creating your own back to school emails, we've collected some of our all time favorite back to school email promotions. Keep your eyes peeled for top tips on how to recreate some of these great styles in your own back to school campaigns!

Bose use big headlines and product photos to make their back to school campaign loud and exciting.
