How to use “National” Days to Create Buzz for your Business

Did you know that National Do Something Nice Day is coming up? What about National Mother-in-Law Day? These are part of the obscure national holiday calendar, where there is something unique to celebrate every day.

While you might not have a need for National Mule Day, some of these holidays could help generate buzz for your business, giving you an opportunity to encourage shopping away from the big holidays.

Why does this work?

It might seem a little different to promote unusual holidays, but they are effective for smaller businesses.

• They can be amusing and eye-catching, allowing customers to linger longer over a promotion than they would on a bigger holiday.
• It sets you apart from the competition, allowing you to have a promotion when other businesses are not.
• These holidays are attention-grabbing simply due to their obscurity

Ultimately, the lesser-known holidays will allow your jewelry business to stand out from the crowd.
