Whether you’re a small business owner, a maker, a coach, or a growing brand, here’s a calendar designed to help you get ahead of the seasonal rush and avoid last-minute stress. It’s a reminder of when to book in your marketing, design, and content projects so everything runs smoothly throughout the year.
(Truth be told, it’s as much for me as it is for you; having a shared plan means we can get cracking with plenty of time to spare.)
If you know another business that always ends up scrambling for last-minute Christmas cards or social media graphics, share this with them!
