Technology has evolved so darn much that instead of actually celebrating a day in real life, the internet goes into an uproar to celebrate events virtually now! Let’s get to know about the social media holiday calendar & celebration days in detail.
2020 is almost at its end now and looking back, I see so many events that I had celebrated throughout the year on my social media platforms with the use of hashtags and puns and memes, and they turned out to be incredible marketing strategies too! Social media celebration days, are usually celebrated globally and are the best way to spread awareness of your product, your work, or just to let off a little steam, kick back and relax!
These days are perfect to create a buzz for your product or brand, and also, to appreciate a certain person in your life or at your office for their services, to make them feel special! From food to politics to animals and everything in between, there is a plethora of observance days worldwide and everything goes mainstream, during which marketers can share content relevant to their industries, get involved in a movement, or simply generate more awareness.
“They say that content is king because the content is how you are able to engage with new audiences and share information about your brand. However, spending time thinking up new and exciting ideas can be time-consuming.” –Twitter-SocialChamp
That’s why I’ve created this handy list of events that can be followed around the year. Some days might be subject to change according to the situations. Let’s dig in!
