Choose a February Content Theme
Make your marketing easy by setting out a theme for the month. Focus on one theme a month.
Themes streamline creation and makes creating an editorial calendar easy. You can create content, related content and images at the same time (batching) to provide cohesive and consistent branding in addition to saving time. Having a monthly theme provides structure and enables you to use templates.
A theme also builds brand recognition and reader anticipation. You can post and email around the theme and related aspects. For example the theme for February can be couples related posts about:
- Date night - where to go, what to wear, what to cook
- Couples vacation - spa, weekend getaway, romantic vacation, couples resort
- Couples therapy - couples counselling
- Couple activities - couples bucket list, couples cooking classes, couples dance classes, couples games, couples massage
- Couple gift ideas
- Couple outfits, pajamas
- Books for couples to read together
You can create many blog posts, social media posts and email content around the monthly theme.

Celebrate February Holidays
Holidays make content creation easier especially for social media. Use holidays to create sales or celebrate with your followers.
For February you can create a Valentines Day (February 14th) sale and offer a discount. This can be a 24-48 hour flash sale, a week long sale or even longer.
BONUS TIP: Sale exclusives. You can make sales exclusive by only offering to previous clients, only offering to email subscribers or only offering it on a social media platform for example Facebook.
You can also build campaigns around holidays.
You can create a month long campaign with a February long holiday.
Create week long campaign with a week holiday. For February find a relevant week long holiday to your audience. This is a great opportunity to offer a free download in your email and/or social media. You can do a survey around the topic as it relates to your business. February you can celebrate International Networking Week (February 6-10).
And don’t forget to use daily holidays as well. Daily holidays are great to wish your followers a happy Valentine's Day or to show behind the scenes how you celebrate it.
Canva has these great articles on how you can celebrate and promote Valentine's Day.

Use Templates When Creating Content in February
Templates are your best friend. Not only do they save time, they provide consistent branding which leads to brand recognition.
Create templates for social media, blog posts, and your emails. Canva is a great tool and makes creating and using templates easy.
I recommend working in sprints and designating an 2-3 hours for timeboxing content creation.
My template for February will be based on my theme for February or the product I am promoting that month. I have already laid out all my promotions, themes and campaigns for the year using the 2023 Business Planner.
Batch Content Creation for February Marketing
Don’t fall into the trap of creating one post or one image at a time. Batching is more efficient and is not only more productive it helps with consistency, frequency and cohesiveness. I spend 2 days on content creation. One day for writing the posts and the another day for creating graphics for the blog and social media and scheduling. You can read about my process here.
If you can’t be a month or two ahead try for at least 15 days. Batch create for February at least 2 weeks before. Don’t wait until February 1st to start creating. Use a tool like Canva to batch create your graphics.
Use the Quarter One Content Planner to map out the first 90 days of the year.
