Plan your marketing around the quiet months
Every year the same months go dead and it still catches you out. Get a 12-week plan that starts early enough to fill them.
The prompt · ChatGPT
Help me plan marketing so my quiet months aren't empty this year. My business: [what you sell and where] Busy months: [e.g. March to July, December] Quiet months: [e.g. January and February] How far ahead customers usually book or buy: [e.g. same week, 6 weeks, 3 months] What people buy most: [your main services or products] What I could offer in the quiet spell: [e.g. a maintenance check, a winter service, gift vouchers, nothing yet] How I reach people now: [e.g. Facebook, email list, Google, leaflets] Rough marketing budget for these 12 weeks: [amount, or none] Before you plan, ask me up to 4 short questions. Wait for my answers. Then: 1. Work out when I need to start, given how far ahead people book. 2. Give me a 12-week plan, week by week, with one or two jobs a week and which channel each one uses. 3. Suggest two offers or reasons to buy that suit the quiet months, using only what I could genuinely offer. 4. Write the first two weeks' messages in full. 5. Tell me the 3 numbers to watch each week to know if it's working. Don't invent figures, keep it doable for a small team, UK English. Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.
