Planning your content for April 2020

The online store content rollercoaster…

We would plan out a few weeks of content. We would even schedule it so it went without us having to do a thing and we were free to focus on the day to day operations of running an online store. So organised, so boss, so #igothis

Then, before we knew it, those 2 weeks had flown by and we didn’t have anything for the next batch of content.

Sh!t

So we’d scramble to get something up. We would skip a few days here and there. We’d post without strategy until we found the time to do another content planning session.

And the roller coaster would continue pretty much like that all year long.

Does this sound familiar?

We want you to get off this rollercoaster for good. That’s why we’ve created this free 2020 eCommerce calendar with key dates for you to wrap your content around. You can download the entire year now.

Let’s look at what’s happening in April 2020
