Holiday Calendars Online - An Important Business Tool

Can an online holiday calendar help your business?
Yes it can, and the online holiday calendar we recommend is EarthCalendar.net.

With this site, you simply go to "Holidays by Date", choose a month and click "Show Holiday". For example, here are the holidays for August:

• Children's eye health and safety month,
• Cataract awareness month,
• Foot health month,
• National catfish month,
• National golf month,
• National parks month,
• Medic alert month,
• Spinal muscular atrophy awareness month

In just August alone, there are several good holidays to use for marketing purposes. National parks month could be great for businesses which sell hiking or camping equipment, foot health month is great for running shoes or pedicure supplies, and, of course, golf month is a haven for people who sell golfing supplies.

Of course, not all of August contains occasions which will help with making money. Some of them can specifically help you make others feel better. Here are some examples.

• Clown week - First full week of August
• World breastfeeding week - If you are interested in making people want to read your emails or blogs, 'breastfeed' your 'baby' through advertising and making your titles eye catching.
• National smile week - First full week of August as well. This is a good time to put a smile on the faces of your customers or your visitors by offering them a joke each day.
• Elvis week - Second week of August. A good time to reach out to all of your Elvis fans.
• National Friendship week - Third week of August and a great time to email your list and let them know that you are thinking of them.
• Be Kind to Human Kind week - Fourth week of August. This is a good time to make a contribution to a charity.

It's easy to see why having a calendar like the one that you can get at EarthCalendar.net is a good idea.

Google does it why not you?

Google changes their logos to fit the holidays and it works well for them, so why not do it yourself.
