Q5?

The first time I heard about Q5, I thought.. hmm…that makes sense. A fifth quarter? Mathematically it doesn’t make sense, but the theory behind the possible buying habits of people post Christmas, holds logic. Q5 suggests that people are actively engaged after the holidays into January. Some may have received gift cards they want to use, or cash as Christmas gifts. More often than not, that results in sales above the value of the original gift, and is a great chance for brands to nurture relationships.

Often times, December doesn’t become about you, it becomes about others. The notion that January is a month when people start considering themselves and their new years resolution, is entirely accurate.

From a businesses perspective, early January is a great time to start campaigning and promoting regular price and sale priced items to engage shoppers online and on social media. The benefits include; cheaper ad campaigns with larger reach capacity (because the competition is not as strong), and sales! Consumers are not just looking, they are looking to purchase.


In the bustling landscape of Toronto, Ontario, entrepreneurs can effectively advertise their businesses while taking advantage of cost-effective options like Q5 campaigns.
