## How to use the marketing calendar

1. **Pick the dates that fit your business** — A café needs Valentine's Day and Christmas; an online shop needs Black Friday and Cyber Monday; a Gulf brand needs Ramadan and the national days. Ignore dates your customers don't care about.
2. **Add the file to your calendar** — Import the.ics file into Google Calendar, Outlook or Apple Calendar, or open the.csv in Sheets or Excel to plan budgets and owners.
3. **Set a prep reminder for each date** — Use the 'Start preparing' column: offers, creative and ads should be ready before your customers start searching, usually six to eight weeks ahead.
4. **Turn each date into a campaign** — Plan posts, reels, emails and ads for the build-up, the day itself and the follow-up, or let Marketing Studio's AI employees draft and schedule them for you.

## Which 2027 dates move every year?

Religious and lunar dates move. Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha arrive about 11 days earlier each year and depend on moon sighting, so confirm them locally. Easter, Diwali and Lunar New Year also change every year, while Black Friday always falls the day after US Thanksgiving.

- Ramadan 2027: about 8 February to 9 March, depending on moon sighting
- Easter 2027: 28 March (Western), 2 May (Orthodox)
- Diwali 2027: around 29 October
- Black Friday 2027: 26 November, Cyber Monday 29 November
