New Year campaigns leverage January motivation while setting clients up for sustainable success. Start planning in November, create a signature program or challenge (21-30 days), offer early-bird pricing, focus on habit formation over drastic overhauls, and provide ongoing support beyond January. Use email sequences, group programs, and accountability systems to turn New Year enthusiasm into lasting behavior change and long-term client relationships.
Every January, your inbox fills up with the same question: "Are you taking new clients?"
People are motivated. They've spent the holidays reflecting on their health, and they're ready to finally address the gut issues, the hormone imbalances, the chronic stress, the weight they've been meaning to lose.
This surge of New Year energy is real, and it's an incredible opportunity for your integrative practice.
But here's what most practitioners get wrong: they treat January like any other month, or worse, they launch a generic "New Year, New You" promotion that feels exactly like every other desperate wellness campaign flooding people's inboxes.
The practitioners who truly capitalize on New Year momentum do something different: They plan strategically, create focused programs that deliver real results, and build systems that turn January's enthusiasm into lasting change.
This guide shows you exactly how to run a New Year campaign that stands out, serves your clients genuinely, and sets you up for a strong 2026.
January isn't just another month for health and wellness. Search interest for health and wellness services consistently peaks early in the year as people look for support with their New Year health goals.
People are actively looking for support. Your ideal clients are searching right now.
But here's the problem: research shows that most New Year resolutions are abandoned by February, with the majority failing within the first two weeks. In fact, popular fitness app Strava coined an actual name for the day when most people abandon their resolutions: “Quitter’s Day” (January 19, if you were wondering).
So why do resolutions fail? Often it’s because they’re too extreme, too vague, unsupported, and all-or-nothing.
Your opportunity: Position yourself as the sustainable alternative to crash diets and extreme cleanses. You're not selling a quick fix—you're offering the support system that actually creates lasting change.
How to make your campaign different:
If you're reading this in late January and thinking "I missed the window"—you haven't.
Here's what you can do immediately:
This week: Quick-launch campaign
Create a "February Fresh Start" or "New Year, Second Chance" offer for people who already abandoned their January resolutions. Position it as: "January didn't go as planned? Start fresh in February with actual support."
Launch a 4-6 week program starting February 1st. You have one week to create content, set up automation in Practice Better, and promote to your existing audience.
Or: Capture the late starters
Many people wait until late January to commit. They've been watching others start programs and are now ready to jump in. Launch a "Last Chance: Join January Cohort" campaign this week with spots closing January 31st.
Or: Plan for next year (and create evergreen content)
Use this time to plan your 2027 campaign properly. Document everything you wish you'd done this year. Build your program content now in Practice Better so it's ready to launch next December.
The ideal timeline for 2027 (for future reference):
Best for: Creating momentum, attracting new clients
Structure: Daily or weekly educational content, simple daily habits, group accountability, completion recognition
Example: "21-Day Anti-Inflammatory Reset"
In Practice Better: Build as an automated program with daily content unlocking and habit trackers.
Best for: Deeper transformation, higher revenue
Structure: Weekly modules with education, live group calls or check-ins, comprehensive resources, progress tracking
Example: "Hormone Balance Kickstart: 6 Weeks to Better Energy"
Best for: Maximizing time, building community
Structure: Weekly group calls, shared curriculum, community forum, individual messaging support
Example: "New Year Wellness Collective: 8 Weeks of Nutrition, Mindset & Community"
Best for: Lead generation, establishing expertise
Structure: Single workshop or 3-4 part series, educational focus, soft pitch for deeper programs
Example: "New Year Goal-Setting for Sustainable Health" (Free 90-minute workshop)
Email 1: Tease your program, build curiosity, invite early-bird sign-ups
Email 2: Share details, highlight benefits, create urgency
Email 3: Final early-bird push
Email 4: Official launch announcement
Email 5: Last chance to join
November-December: Share planning process, ask what followers want, build anticipation
January 1-7: Daily posts about program benefits, testimonials, live Q&A sessions
January 8-31: Participant wins, tips from your program, community highlights
Instead of: "Lose 20 pounds in 21 days"
Try: "Build sustainable habits that support healthy weight for life"
Small, sustainable changes work. Extreme overhauls don't.
Educate clients about how change actually happens: habit formation cycles, why willpower isn't enough, the role of environment, how to recover from setbacks, and the non-linear nature of progress.
Transition clients to monthly maintenance appointments, quarterly check-in packages, alumni community, or annual membership. The goal isn't just January—it's supporting them through the entire year.
You cannot manually deliver daily content and send individual check-ins to 30+ people. Automation makes campaigns sustainable.
In Practice Better, build your campaign as an automated program. Content delivers on schedule, check-ins happen automatically, and you focus on high-value personal interactions.
