NATIONAL DAYS IN JULY FOR YOU TO BLOG AND POST ABOUT

Have you ever sat at your desk, staring at a blank screen with no idea how to fill it? Yeah, us too. It happens to EVERYBODY. Whether you want to create an engaging blog post or bring in some sweet social media interaction, sometimes your mind just goes blank. This is why it’s handy to have a list of national days in July to spark some inspiration.

As you know there is pretty much a date for everything and a hashtag to go with it, making national dates a brilliant way to top up your marketing calendar. At first glance, you might question how relevant they really are to your business but if you really take a minute to think about it, its actually a perfect opportunity to speak to your ideal audience whatever industry, product or service you may be offering.

It’s not about shouting at your audience it’s about communicating with them using a language they understand and can relate to.

JULY 7TH – TELL THE TRUTH DAY

This is one of the national days in July that could really spark some great stories for your content. Would it be a challenge to tell the truth for a whole day and blog about it? Even if someone asked you something where it would be kinder to tell a little white lie and save their feelings?
