70 November Marketing Ideas to Boost Your Sales

30 Days hath November, April, June and September. It’s that time of year again. The leaves are changing in the northern hemisphere (shout out to the lands down under), the weather is cooling off and the holidays are right around the corner. If you’re looking for some November marketing ideas to help you boost sales, here are 30 places to get you started: November Awareness Causes Choose one of these and create an entire marketing campaign around it. For example, if you want to get serious, then you might choose Diabetes and donate a percentage of November proceeds to medical research. You can help to spread awareness by passing along diabetes facts and stories to help others have a better understanding of the disease, too. Or if you want to take a lighthearted approach, you might choose peanut butter. If you’re American then you can offer peanut butter trivia and recipes along with special ‘creamy’ and ‘crunchy’ offers. If you’re not American and can’t figure out why Americans love peanut butter so much, you can have a bit of fun with that as well. Here are the November Awareness Causes: Entrepreneurship Military families Healthy skin Aviation Adoption Nutrition Hunger Latin American heritage American Indian heritage Great American Smoke Out/Lung cancer AIDS Alzheimer’s Pancreatic cancer Epilepsy Diabetes Peanut butter Peppers Veganism Drunk driving (red ribbon) Novel writing * Long-term care Then there are November national days and dates. We can’t list them all here for every country, but here’s a few to get you started. To find more and to find the actual dates in your own country, just do a quick Google search. These are super easy to use in your email marketing and on social media, too. Just look to see which day it is and write something to go with it. For example (and completely off the top of my head), “Did you know that today is National Cinnamon Day? The average person eats five pounds of cinnamon in their lifetime and today only I’m giving 50% off my course when you send me your favorite cinnamon recipe.” November National Days and Dates 1 National Cinnamon Day National Cook for Your Pets Day National Family Literacy Day 2 National Stress Awareness Day 3 National Cash Back Day National Men Make Dinner Day (Must Cook.
