Seasonal Advertising Calendar
Snowbird season (November–April) brings massive influx of wealthy retirees — hospitality, golf, spa, and luxury services should heavily advertise during this window. Summer (June–September) sees population dip and CPC reductions.
How to Create a Local Video Ad in 2 Minutes
Open FluxNote → choose a format (Product Showcase or Brand Story work well for most local businesses) → mention Phoenix in your script → use a local hook in the first 3 seconds → export for Facebook (large retiree and family demographic). The AI handles everything else.
Budget Allocation for Your First Campaign
Start with $600/month to test. Run 2–3 video creative variants simultaneously to find what resonates with Phoenix consumers. Allocate 70% to the best-performing ad after week 1. Scale when you hit a CAC below your LTV/3.
