When planning content it’s always best to have key dates marked in your calendar.
Some dates can provide a great opportunity for a promotion or piece of content. We’re all aware of some popular dates – Black Friday, Cyber Monday, or May 4th as Star Wars Day.
But what about the more obscure holidays? There are a ton of ‘holidays’ every month that could be providing your brand with a great piece of content. Not only do these dates provide some content inspiration, but they also let your brand engage with trending hashtags and allows you to showcase your lighter side as a brand.
We’ve made a list of weird holidays to celebrate on social media. We’ve picked our 2 favourite dates from each month. These should help you find content during the quiet 2019 months.
