As you plan your marketing campaign for 2007, you should take an awareness calendar or holiday calendar into consideration.

There are more than 17,900 awareness days, weeks, months, birthdays and anniversaries registered with the National Events Special Registry.

Plan now to strategically align your O&P business with some new marketing opportunities.

February is Canned Food Month!
 

Why not plan an awareness campaign that ties your company in with a national cause or effort?

Are you launching a website?
A new product or service?
Opening a new office?
Hiring a new employee?

Here's an idea! For every (unique) click, purchase or office visit - your company could donate a canned food item to your local food bank. Put out a press release, distribute it to the media and post it on your website.

WIN. The food bank gets food they desperately need during a month when nobody typically thinks about the food bank.

WIN. You get to create awareness about something that might otherwise not generate much publicity.

Think that's a silly idea? The NFL and Campbell's don't think so.

That's just one idea - there are 17899 left!

"Elizabeth, regarding the newsletter:
I find it thought provoking with the areas outside of O&P you (use for) source information.
At times some of the more direct O&P marketing sales information is helpful. I will from time to time print an article for our practitioners to review.
As we all know practitioners are not, typically, wired to embrace business development and any hints, tools, ideas to get them comfortable with it are very helpful. To summarize: the newsletter gives us non-creative marketing challenged type?s insightful information to stir up some action.
Thanks for the great work you do for the industry."
