It\u2019s essential to know all the important shopping dates for any ecommerce store.\u00a0 Every marketing specialist should use ecommerce calendar in order to better prepare for the upcoming sales ahead of time.

At Plumrocket we have compiled the catalog of marketing calendars for North America<\/a>,\u00a0Europe<\/a>, \u00a0Nordic Countries<\/a>, Asia-Pacific<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Latin America<\/a>.

How to Prepare for the Important Shopping Dates<\/h2>\n

It takes time to prepare for the holidays, so plan ahead to make sure you have put everything in order. Set your expense budget, work on your marketing strategy, update your inventory and plan your stock. Get ready for each important holiday and never miss a good opportunity to increase your sales.<\/p>\n

Last thing to remember is that people start looking for gift ideas long before the actual holiday date. Let\u2019s take \u201cFather\u2019s Day\u201d for example. According to the 2016 marketing calendar, the holiday is on June 19. But if you use Google Trends<\/a> tool, you will see that shoppers start looking for Father\u2019s Day Gifts \u2013 one or two months in advance (In April\/May).<\/p>\n

\"Marketing-trends\"<\/p>\n

Use this information to your favor by creating new product categories at your store. An example of such category can be \u201cBest father’s day gifts in 2016\u201d or create a blog article like \u201cTop 10 Father’s Day Gift Ideas\u201d.<\/p>\n

Then start email marketing campaign to notify your subscribers about interesting content at your site before the actual holiday begins.<\/p>\n
