Early 2026 Marketing Calendar: New Campaign Guidance & Templates

We’ve introduced a new Early 2026 Marketing Calendar designed to help shops plan and execute customer outreach more consistently, without starting from scratch each month.

The calendar brings together six ready-to-use campaign ideas across February, March, and April. Each campaign includes recommended timing, suggested targeting, and guidance on why it works, so shops can choose the outreach that best fits their goals and capacity.

What’s included

• Valentine’s Day outreach to follow up on deferred work and encourage return visits

• Tax Refund season campaigns to re-engage customers when spending flexibility increases

• St. Patrick’s Day re-engagement for light, seasonal outreach

• Winter-to-Spring inspection reminders to address seasonal vehicle wear

• Spring Car Care guidance to position shops as trusted advisors heading into warmer months

All campaigns are paired with ready-to-use templates and practical targeting recommendations to help shops send relevant messages with confidence.

Why this matters

Rather than relying on one-off promotions, the Q1 Marketing Calendar helps shops build a more intentional customer engagement cadence. By providing structure, inspiration, and clear starting points, the calendar makes it easier to stay visible with customers throughout the quarter.
