Top Holidays and Shopping Events in Q1
To help you keep up with the many potential earning opportunities this quarter we’ve compiled this overview of upcoming events and holidays. While the period following the new year is traditionally slower than the rest of the year, Q1 still presents great earning opportunities.
Chinese Lunar New Year, the Super Bowl, and Valentine’s Day are top opportunities to create theme-focused deals, while the Grammys, Golden Globes, and Oscars are perfect for sharing “service-driven” content and streaming services. January also marks the beginning of tax season, and service-oriented tax content performs well from January
through April.
