A content calendar is an essential tool to plan your email marketing
campaigns for the coming year. The benefit of using the calendar
format, rather than just a long list of content to be published, is that you
can visualize how your content is distributed throughout the year. This
allows you to:
The further ahead you plan your email marketing content the better
placed you are to produce a consistent flow of content that builds
your brand’s expertise in your chosen subject areas. Looking at the
year ahead, you might see several industry or world events that you
want to plan content around – the content calendar is a place to
store and manage this information.
