Here is a list of upcoming (mostly US) holidays and observances for your email marketing calendars to help you get ready for the season. And don't forget, sales don't always have to be for the retailers. I've seen dentists have offers after Halloween, tire shops have specials for the winter and even software companies remembering our Veterans. So get ready, set and email!
