Post-Holiday Marketing: How Small Businesses Should Plan for a Strong 2026
Oregon Coast VIP Marketing works with a lot of small businesses, and here’s the honest truth: January thru March is where the real winners are built. The holidays are over, customers are calmer, and attention is cheaper. That’s not a slowdown - that’s opportunity wearing sweatpants.
Why Post-Holiday Marketing Matters (More Than Black Friday)
Most businesses disappear after December. Fewer ads. Less noise. Lower competition. That means your content, emails, and offers actually get seen. My opinion? If you wait until spring to plan, you’re already late.
What Smart Small Businesses Should Do Now
1. Review what actually worked
Not what felt good - what converted. Website traffic, Google searches, emails, posts that brought real humans through the door.
2. Lock in your 2026 foundation early
Website tune-ups (speed, SEO, mobile - no excuses)
Google Business updates
Content themes by season (tourism, locals, slow season promos)
3. Plan content like a grown-up business
Create a 90-day content plan now. Blogs, socials, emails. Consistency beats “viral” every single time. Algorithms love commitment.
4. Shift mindset: Social Media is now Interest Media
People don’t follow businesses - they follow ideas. Keyword-rich posts, educational content, and local relevance win. Period.
2026 Belongs to Businesses Who Plan Before Everyone Else
January isn’t quiet. It’s strategic. The businesses that plan now will look “lucky” later. Spoiler: it’s not luck - it’s preparation.
If a small business wants 2026 to be their best year yet, post-holiday planning is non-negotiable. Procrastination is expensive. Planning is profitable. 😉

Why Every Small Business Needs a Website (Even If You’re on Social Media)
Here’s my strong opinion: Social media without a website is rented land.
Algorithms change. Accounts get throttled. Platforms disappear. Your website? That’s home base.

Builds trust instantly (customers check before they call)
