National Kick Butt Day is coming up. Bet you never heard of that one, did you? Today it seems as if there are national holidays, a national day or national month for everything. In fact, there are over a thousand national holidays, national weeks and national months. Add bank holidays and major religious holidays, and you have one crowded calendar!<\/p>\n

National days of observance have become trendy and popular in part because companies have learned to use them for marketing. Just look at social media. Judging from the hashtags for various food days, people days, pet days, medical condition days, military days or industry days — it seems like every single day is a national holiday or national day of observance on Twitter and Instagram.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve ever wondered, “what national holiday is today?” — we\u2019ve got you covered. Our hand-picked list of national holidays for marketing appears below. But before we get to that list of national days, we have some advice.<\/p>\n

How to Use a List of National Holidays for Marketing in a Small Business<\/h2>\n

Are you in a pet related business, such as dog grooming or pet treats? If so, your customers may be interested in a special spa day you host on National Love Your Pet Day.<\/p>\n

Own a coffee shop? Then National Coffee Day could be an awesome opportunity to run a sale on lattes or do a flash Facebook promotion to drive some foot traffic to your cafe.<\/p>\n

Or perhaps you do financial planning or business succession planning. In that case you might want to highlight National Employee Ownership Month on your blog to get some attention for your thought leadership in that niche.<\/p>\n

Some national observance days are more popular than others, of course. You\u2019ve probably never heard of National Bicarbonate of Soda Day (December 30), and probably never will again. On the other hand, every business owner knows Valentine\u2019s Day — especially florists and candy shop owners.<\/p>\n

However, for small businesses, some of the lesser-known national holidays might be your best marketing opportunities. Here\u2019s why.<\/p>\n
