Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know
Why is the marketing calendar important for businesses?
Festival seasons drive 30-40% of annual retail sales in India. Planning campaigns in advance means better creatives, bigger budgets, and higher impact. Last-minute campaigns are expensive and less effective. This calendar helps you prepare 4-6 weeks ahead for every major event.
Which is the biggest marketing opportunity in India?
Diwali season (October-November) is India's biggest marketing opportunity — it drives more sales than any other period. Other major opportunities: Independence Day sale (August 15), Republic Day (January 26), Holi (March), and Raksha Bandhan (August).
How early should I start planning festival campaigns?
For major events like Diwali: start 6-8 weeks before. For medium events like Holi or Independence Day: 3-4 weeks before. For smaller events: 1-2 weeks before. This gives you time for creative production, ad approvals, and inventory preparation.
Which festivals are important for regional businesses?
Different regions have different priorities: Maharashtra/Goa (Ganesh Chaturthi, Gudi Padwa), Punjab (Baisakhi, Lohri), Bengal (Durga Puja, Diwali), Kerala (Onam, Vishu), Tamil Nadu (Pongal). Always prioritize the festivals most relevant to your local market.
How can I use this calendar for social media marketing?
Post 3-5 days before each festival with early wishes and offers. On the day, post a festive message (even without selling). Follow up with 'last chance' offers 1-2 days after. This creates a 3-stage campaign cadence for every festival.
