Can I schedule year-round seasonal discounts in advance?

Question

As an e-commerce business owner, I'm looking to streamline my promotional calendar and create a systematic approach to seasonal discounts. I want to plan out my entire year's promotional strategy in advance, ensuring I have targeted discounts for major holidays, shopping events, and key seasonal periods without having to manually create each campaign. What are the best practices for scheduling year-round seasonal discounts, and how can I automate this process to save time and maintain consistent marketing momentum?
