These days it seems like every day is earmarked for one cause or another – a historical figure’s birthday, a health awareness day and even National Talk Like A Pirate Day. Though some observances may be lesser known, they can still offer a great tie-in to your business.
Awareness days come in all flavors. The trick is knowing where to look to find the ones that fit your brand. EPromos.com takes a straightforward approach to observances including national holidays and many social and health awareness dates while BrownieLocks.com runs the gambit from serious to kooky.
At Talk, we’ve celebrated our top dog, Camden, for the past two years on National Take Your Dog To Work Day. We invited clients, friends and media to stop by and see what we’re all about.
Here are some sample dates by industry that you may want to take advantage of:
General Business:
National Business Image Improvement Month – May
Effective Communications Month – June
National Business Etiquette Week – June 1-7
National Take Your Dog To Work Day – June 26
Women’s Small Business Month – October
Customer Service Week – October 6-12
National Boss Day – October 16
Healthcare:
Arthritis Awareness Month – May
National Running & Fitness Week – May 17-23
National Cholesterol Education Month – September
Healthy Aging Month – September
National Physical Therapy Month – October
Education:
College Savings Month – September
International Literacy Day – September 8
America’s Safe Schools Week – October 21-27
And even though I started a new healthy living routine involving Special K twice a day and working out every evening, I may have to cheat just a little and celebrate National Chocolate Chip day today!
