A strong Q4 sets the tone for the new year. As the last quarter of the calendar year, and a final push to hit business goals, teams are working tirelessly to drive campaigns home and close pending deals. While wildly important, we recognize that the Q4 hustle can be overwhelming. 

We can’t create your campaigns for you, but we can give you the tools you need to streamline all of your team’s Q4 efforts.

Leveraging the Q4 kit for your team

Our Q4 kit isn’t one-size-fits-all, and how a marketer uses it will differ from a sales manager. Teams can cherry-pick what they need from the kit at different stages throughout the quarter and customize the templates to fit in with their workflow. 

Marketing

In Q4 marketers are working against seasonality, and the over-saturated holiday deals, while trying to push forward successful end-of-year campaigns. The Q4 kit packages up a curated bundle of templates and Beautiful.ai features to help marketers align on Q4 campaign efforts, collaborate on strategies, share mood boards for holiday campaigns, and identify marketing opportunities for Q1 to start 2025 off in a more impactful way. 

Our favorite tools in the Q4 kit for marketers:

  • Annual Marketing Plan Presentation
  • Holiday Campaign Mood Board presentation
  • Funnel Smart Slide template
  • Photo Grid Smart Slide template
  • Asset library feature

Sales

Q4 is the last quarter of the year, which means sales managers have a quarterly and annual quota to keep in mind. The Q4 kit can help sales teams finish Q4 strong with more wins, analyze year-end sales performance, organize and communicate better pitches, and look ahead to 2025 sales growth opportunities and goals.  

The Q4 success toolkit for sales teams:

  • Sales Projections Presentation
  • Quarterly Business Review Presentation
  • Data Comparison Smart Slide template
  • Photo Grid Smart Slide template
  • Slide narration feature

Operations

Operations leaders are seeing projects through until the very last day of the quarter. The Q4 kit can help enhance project management and collaboration by visualizing campaign timelines, task assignments and progress, and ensuring effective execution. Getting key projects over the finish line in Q4 can help give teams leverage as they begin 2025 planning and budget proposals.

Some useful tools for operations leaders in Q4 and beyond: 

  • Year End Review Presentation
  • Annual Budget Review Presentation
  • Gantt Chart Smart Slide template
