There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to email marketing production timelines. Regardless of timeframe, it’s crucial to prepare an email campaign calendar, complete with tasks and deadlines to keep you or your team on track. Not only does a calendar keep things moving forward, but it also improves quality control and serves as a consistent project framework that can be implemented across multiple campaigns.
While your email workflow might not look the exact same as your peers, setting realistic goals and timelines that fit your business strategy will help drive results and make campaigns easier to create and implement over time.
