Happy New Year 2026 from Dfeelings! Here's to bold ideas and real results.

New Year's Day is celebrated on January 1st each year, marking the beginning of a new Gregorian calendar year. It is a public holiday in both Jordan and Saudi Arabia.

Marketing Opportunity

New Year's Day drives a predictable surge in "best of 2025/2026" recaps, resolution themed offers, and deal hunting in early January. Brands that publish before December 20 capture the search curve before it peaks.

Target Audience

General consumers across Jordan and Saudi Arabia planning purchases, travel, and resolutions around the calendar reset.

Seasonal Intent

Search demand spikes sharply but briefly in the final week of December and first week of January around gifting, deals, and "new year, new me" intent.

Business Opportunity

One of the few dates every consumer brand in the region can credibly join without a religious or national identity angle, making it a safe campaign anchor with wide reach.

SEO Opportunity

  • Target "new year offers [country]" and "best of [year]" seasonal keyword clusters two to three weeks before launch.
  • Refresh last year's New Year landing page in place (preserve URL/authority) rather than publishing a brand new one each year.
  • Optimize title tags and meta descriptions to include the current year explicitly to win SERP real estate for that specific year.
  • Build internal links from year end blog recaps and gift guide content into the New Year campaign page.

GEO Opportunity

  • State explicitly, in plain text, which offers/services are active "from January 1" so generative engines can cite exact terms rather than paraphrasing loosely.
  • Anchor the page to Dfeelings' entity profile (Organization schema, consistent NAP) so AI answers correctly attribute the offer to the brand.
  • Include factual context (exact dates, region, currency) rather than vague seasonal language.

AEO Opportunity

  • Answer "When do New Year offers start/end in Jordan/Saudi Arabia?" in a direct lead of one sentence.
  • Use an H2 phrased as a question ("What's included in the New Year campaign?") followed immediately by a concise answer block.

Content Ideas

  • "[Year] in review" recap blog post highlighting client results.
  • New Year email campaign with a limited time early bird offer.
  • Social carousel: "5 marketing resolutions for [Year]".
  • Landing page bundling every active January promotion in one place.
  • PR angle: a "trends to watch in [Year]" release backed by data for regional press.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should a New Year marketing campaign launch in Jordan and Saudi Arabia?

Most brands see the best return launching in the third week of December, since search interest for "new year offers" and "best of [year]" content builds through the last ten days of the month and peaks on January 1 and 2.
