Plan better, sell more

creating content calendars for email marketing

The eCommerce Marketing Newsletter

Welcome back, Varun from The eCommerce Marketing Newsletter here.

If you’re launching emails week-to-week with no clear direction, you’re not alone.

But the most successful brands don’t “wing it”, they plan campaigns in advance, tie them to product drops, seasonality, and customer behavior.

Here’s how to structure your calendar so your team stops scrambling, and starts scaling.

📅 Map Out the Non-Negotiables

Start with the “anchor points”—these are events that happen no matter what:

  • Product launches

  • Holidays

  • Brand milestones (anniversaries, collabs, etc.)

  • Promotional events (like clearance or seasonal sales)

💡 Tip: Use Google Sheets, Notion, or Trello to create a visual 3-month calendar. These are your content “pillars” where emails must go out.

Example:

  • June 10 → Summer Collection Launch

  • July 1 → 4th of July Sale

  • Aug 15 → End of Season Clearance

🧩 Fill in the “Revenue Gaps”

Once your key moments are slotted, it’s time to plan revenue-driving campaigns in the gaps.
This is where most brands miss out—by only sending when there's a sale. Don’t do that.

Here’s what you can insert:

  • Educational emails (e.g., “How to style your summer fit”)

  • UGC & reviews (build trust, boost conversion)

  • Behind-the-scenes storytelling

  • Product focus emails (e.g., 1 SKU highlight)

💡 Format:
Use a consistent cadence like:

  • Monday = Education

  • Thursday = Product Feature

  • Sunday = Promo (if applicable)

🛠 Build Campaigns in Batches (Not Chaos)

The key to sticking with the calendar? Pre-build campaigns in 2-week or 4-week sprints.
You’ll never fall behind if you have your:

  • Copy

  • Design

  • Segment logic
    ...ready ahead of time.

System = Consistency = Cash.

✅ TL;DR Actions You Can Take This Week:

  • Create your next 8-week campaign calendar

  • Slot in all fixed events

  • Add in 2-3 value-driven gaps per month
