Columbia has its own marketing calendar
Demand in a college and medical town does not move like it does in most cities. We schedule campaigns and budgets around these peaks, then adjust to your own sales data.
May and December: graduation
Restaurants, florists, photographers, hotels and moving companies see demand jump. Ads and Business Profile updates should be live weeks earlier.
August and September: move-in and game days
Furniture, food, auto, fitness and home services compete for new residents and weekend visitors. Local SEO and social posts matter most here.
Spring: the housing push
Real estate, lawn care, remodeling and landscaping searches climb as the weather turns. We start content and ads in late winter.
Winter: the quiet stretch
A good time to fix your website, collect reviews and publish content, so you are ranking before the next peak arrives.
