The first quarter sets the tone for your entire year. However, it’s often one of the most overlooked marketing windows for beauty and wellness businesses. After the holiday rush fades, many salons, spas, medspas, and gyms experience softer demand, missed appointments, and slower days. But Q1 doesn’t have to be a waiting period. With the right plan, it can become your most strategic season for retention, relationship-building, and sustainable growth.
The Q1 2026 Beauty and Wellness Marketing Calendar is designed to help you turn January through March into a foundation-building powerhouse. Instead of relying on deep discounts or last-minute promos, this calendar shows you how to use timely, relevant campaigns to keep clients engaged, coming back, and spending more, even during traditionally slower weeks.
Packed with actionable campaign ideas, must-know dates, and data-driven insights, this industry-specific Q1 calendar is your guide to boost bookings, strengthen loyalty, and maximize revenue early in the year.
