Evaluating Cold Outbound Campaigns in November and December

Need some consensus on whether it is worth running cold outbound campaigns in Nov & Dec. My hunch here is this is the time employees are using their earned leaves & the holiday season is around the corner. Curious to know why you still choose to run outbound campaigns during this period or why you avoid it. Thanks!

Depends on the industry you’re reaching out to. Most corporate orgs gear up for Q1 and likes of e-commerce are highly active during this time. The only dip you will see is after 15th of December not before that.

There will be buyers who will be active but the traction might be less

I’m on the other side (working for a SaaS) and November is full speed ahead, although the focus is on preparing for Black Friday. I would say things gets slow from the second week of December. But this is Europe, usually they work more on the other side of the ocean 😬

You can in all likelihood go hard until mid december. A decision maker at a 200 person company I've been working with mentioned that now is the best time to get companies to open their wallets as they're planning budgets for next year.

I’ve been seeing huge success in the last 2 weeks and it’s not dying down it’s actually speeding up. I guess more time away from work means more time to respond to cold emails. I’d still highly recommend.
