Social Media Marketing: What is the best timing in the new year to launch business marketing?
BK

Bright Kersh, I help digital entrepreneurs grow to 6–7 figures answered:

You're spot on thinking mid-January — it’s one of the sweet spots for launching. Here’s why:

1. Avoid Early January (1st–7th)

Most people are still in holiday mode, catching up on emails, or mentally checked out.

Even business owners are often easing back in, not ready to take on new projects or offers. Launching during this window can lead to a lackluster response.

2. Aim for the “Reboot Window” — January 10th to 18th

This is prime time. People are back at their desks, open to new ideas, and actively setting goals for Q1. Inboxes are cleaner, attention is higher, and decision-makers are more focused. If you're launching a website, product, or campaign — this window gives you momentum.

3. Warm Up Before You Go Live

Don’t just launch cold. Use early January (behind the scenes) to start:

Posting value-driven content on socials

Re-engaging your email list or community

Teasing what’s coming soon

By the time you launch mid-January, your audience is already curious and paying attention.

Bonus Tip
If your niche is goal-focused (health, finance, productivity, business growth), this window is even more powerful — because people are still in "new year, new me" mode.

Final Advice

Yes — trust your gut. Mid-January is the ideal launch point for most industries. Just don’t wait until that week to start prepping.

Start warming the audience now, so when you go live, you're not starting from zero — you’re starting with buzz.
