December Diary
How to make your products attractive to the media and influencers in December
Christmas is nearly over by now for the media; there are just a few dailies, weeklies, websites and influencers doing last-minute gift guides for Christmas but for most print media it’s the New Year, and what’s happening in 2026.
You should be uploading SS26 outfits and home goods for those “A new you for 2026” and “Redecorate for 2026” issues, so athleisure, outdoor healthy sporty images will all be useful, plus anything for the home.
As always don’t forget to add keywords – New Year, Gifts, Spring, Christmas, Xmas, Holidays, Winter plus all those words beloved of home magazines like cosy, cosiness, hygge, wellbeing.
Clothing wise the media are still looking for going out outfits for Christmas and New Year, so party wear, party dresses, nightwear and also winter clothing like jumpers, scarves, bobble hats, beanies, cardigans, coatigans, jackets, coats are still being looked for. So, make sure that you have plenty of images in those categories uploaded and labelled with as many of those words as you can.
You can also start to look at holiday clothing and outfits for when the weather gets a little warmer so make sure SS26 is flagged on your drops even if they’re not yet available until 2026 – If they’re not on sale until Jan or Feb then use the On Sale date field to flag this up. You can either add a specific date, 2/2/26 or if you’re not sure then you can use the text “available first week in Feb.”
If you’re a PRShots brand user and you need more ideas, then take a look at the keywords that media are searching for on PRShots and try and add those in.
If you’re looking for more hooks to help promote your brand and products, then see the list of days, weeks and fortnights below.
