When it comes to marketing your business or organization online, planning ahead can often make the difference between a good year and a tough one. And while we all know how important it is to plan ahead, sometimes it can be a struggle to plan for tomorrow when you’re in the thick of today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We want to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s why we’ve created this 2026 online marketing calendar. We’ve also compiled a quick list of 2026 marketing holidays by month, included some helpful links to articles and helpful tips for marketing on those holidays, and provided some additional information on how to use the 2026 online marketing calendar template itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to use the marketing calendar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the hardest parts about keeping your marketing drumbeat going throughout the year is coming up with the content: what do you talk about, when do you talk about it, and where do you talk about it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In times when you may not have a particular promotion or seasonality, it can be challenging to keep the conversation flowing with your customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our 2026 Marketing Calendar helps to provide inspiration by way of monthly themes, national secular and religious holidays, and blank dates and notes sections to help you plan out exactly where and how you reach out to your customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, not sure what you’ve got planned for June? The calendar shows you what awareness themes run through the month of June, as well as showing you the daily holidays that could be fun to plan a promotion, social post, or newsletter around. (Did you know Best Friends Day is in June? What better way to celebrate a best friend than by sharing a coupon from your favorite small business!) <\/p>\n\n\n\n
