While there are only ten federally recognized holidays in the United States, the canon of social media “holidays” is growing exponentially. We know artists and freelancers can’t resist a good celebration, so we put together a list of 12 #HashtagHolidays to help you plan your content — one for each month!
January 14: #CleanOffYourDeskDay is an opportunity to begin your new year with a clean and organized workspace. (We might suggest celebrating this holiday more than once a year.)
February 11: Celebrate the geniuses of the past and toast to your own innovations on #InventorsDay.
March 8: #NationalProofreadingDay isn’t just for grammar sticklers! Proofreading is a tedious but necessary step that tells your audience: “Attention to detail is our thing.”
April 16: National Wear Your Pajamas to Work Day, or #PJDay, may be easier for those of us who work from home, but who says you can’t rock a onesie under that business attire?
May 21: #NationalMemoDay celebrates the ancient art of the memorandum. Memos can inform or persuade, but they should connect the purpose of the writer with the interests and needs of the reader. Use them wisely!
Jun 21: #TakeYourDogToWorkDay — need we say more?
July 15: #GiveSomethingAwayDay may have been inspired by the decluttering techniques of Marie Kondo, but we’re interpreting it as a reminder to offer free, valuable content to your audience or customers. Doing so builds trust in your brand which often leads to business.
August 15: #NationalRelaxationDay is your chance to kick back, unplug, and turn the push notifications off. You deserve it!
September 6: #ReadABookDay is an excuse to pick up that new bestseller you’ve been hearing about — or revisit an old favorite that inspires the work that you do.
October 30: #ChecklistDay is everyday. Set a goal, get ‘er done.
November 19: #EntrepreneursDay celebrates the folks who have built something from nothing and grown a business out of an idea and a passion — yourself included!
December 30: #NoInterruptionsDay is your last chance to get it done before a near year kicks off. Pour the coffee, put your headphones in, and do it to it!
