Internet Marketing Calendar

Marketing experts at Magniphy have created a special calendar to help “sellers optimize their sales timing and promotions”. It also includes ten Top Dollar days that are typically high-sales days on the web.

We have highlighted only the most relevant days for email marketing activities and PPC (Pay per Click) promotions (you can see the full version of the calendar here).
