Seasonal campaign calendar

Retail seasons in Thailand follow festivals, school calendars, and modern-trade promo gates. Use this calendar to decide when to lock briefs, print POS, and schedule field resets.

Key windows we plan around

Dates shift slightly by retailer; the sequence below reflects typical Bangkok modern-trade timing.

Jan–Feb

Chinese New Year & back-to-school soft start

Gift stacks, red-gold POS, and snack multipacks. Brief buyers in November; reset secondary placements two weeks before CNY.

Apr

Songkran

Coolers, travel sizes, sunscreen, and beverage endcaps. Highest demand for activation staffing in metro Bangkok and tourist provinces.

Jun–Jul

Mid-year modern-trade events

Category reviews and mid-year mega sales. Strong window for trade kits and revised offer ladders rather than full fixture rebuilds.

Aug

Mother’s Day (Thailand)

Gifting and personal care focus. Planograms often need soft, premium storytelling without overloading shelf talkers.

Oct–Nov

Halloween / mid-autumn & early year-end sell-in

Limited seasonal confectionery and early negotiations for December gift towers. Field training for year-end resets usually starts here.

Dec

Year-end & New Year

Gift packs, sparkling, and premium endcaps. Largest POS print runs of the year — lock artwork before retailer blackout weeks.
