Did you know the birth flower for March is the daffodil? That’s my second favourite flower…can anyone guess my first?!
It’s also Women’s History Month, with International Women’s Day on 08/03/2023 (you don’t need me to tell you when International Men’s Day is, do you?). International Transgender Day of Visibility will be 31/03/2023.
March is also Endometriosis Awareness Month. 1 in 10 women and those assigned female at birth will suffer with endometriosis. Endometriosis UK have details on their action month here.
Sleep health awareness is important. It might not directly link to your business though it does impact on your employees and customers. The World Sleep Society’s World Sleep Day will be 17/03/2023. On 20/03/2023 comes the UN International Day of Happiness – I’m happiest when I get enough sleep.
If you’re not happy with your current approach to social media or feel like you could do with a spring clean as the Spring months approach, get in contact and let’s see what we can do. Spotlight calls are free, and my other services can be found here. It is important that you don’t ‘post and pray’, plan out your posts using insights.
Booksellers and entertainers, if February is the month of love, celebrate the language of love on 21/03/2023 on World Poetry Day. Poetry is like good copy, it will convey your message to your audience. In the UK National Poetry Day comes in October (nothing like messing up the stanzas), though every opportunity to share a poem or two is good. It’s also World Book Day on 02/03/2023, it doesn’t have to be all about cute kids dressing up, it’s actually about reading! Share your favourite book, what you are currently reading, your last read, your next read, ask for a recommendation – everyone can create some content for WBD!
