Mailfold is a simple way for Etsy sellers to reach customers with direct mail marketing. Learn more about us.

We're well into 2019 and season shopping dates are approaching. We put together a list of nearby holidays and dates you may want to aim for if you are advertising on Facebook, Instagram, Google, Pinterest, or with us — Mailfold.

If you plan on using reaching customers for the holidays below, use this table to plan your campaigns. These are the dates you should schedule your campaign for (whether social, email, or Mailfold). This calendar makes some assumptions about your Etsy shop. Our assumptions are below.

If you're using Mailfold, schedule your campaign for the target delivery date below. The latest date you can submit a Mailfold campaign is also included as the "send before" date.

Social ads require much less lead time, but don't sleep on the preparation. Have the artwork and targeting for social ads ready at least 1 week out and schedule them for the future when possible.

About Pinterest Lead Times

Because Pinterest is used for planning, it has a far longer lead time than Facebook or Instagram. We recommend running ads on Pinterest at least 30 days in advance, but ideally 45 days in advance.
