Promotional Planning IDEAS Calendar
1-30 – Cancer From the
Sun Month
Tans might look great today, but you pay for them
tomorrow – sometimes dearly. Great for treatment
centers, derms, sunscreen manufacturers, etc.
1-30 – National Candy Month
Endless possibilities for tie-ins here. Just about
everyone likes some kind of candy.
4 – Tiananmen Square Anniversary
In Beijing, 1989. A reminder that terrorists aren’t
always hard to find.
6-7 – Donut Day
Decreed since 1938 by the Salvation Army, a day to
make a donation and enjoy a few donuts. Coffee shops,
bakeries, etc. can get involved in co-ops.
7 – VCR Anniversary
Sony came out with the Betamax today, 1975. It was a
$1,400 miracle machine back then…
8 – Race Unity Day
It’s embarrassing that in 2003 we still “can’t all
just get along.” Great day to promote it in your area,
at least. Virtually any firm can be involved.
9-15 – National Little League Baseball Week
Super link-up to any sort of baseball or kids-themed
promo.
13 – Friday the Thirteenth
The triskaidekapobic’s horror. Logoed mirrors,
anyone?
14 – Univac Anniversary
The world’s first commercial computer, large enough
to fill several rooms, was unveiled today, 1951, in
Philadelphia.
15 – Magna Carta Day
Signed on this day, 1215. If you don’t know what it
is, and are over 12, shame on you. Universal
opportunities abound.
16 – Stan Laurel – Birthday
With Ollie Hardy, part of one of the funniest comedy
teams in history. Great for networks, video
makers/stores, theatres, comedy clubs, etc.
19 – National Sauntering Day
Dedicated to bringing back sauntering (vs.
meandering or gallivanting) as an activity. Neat offbeat
hook-up for gyms, shoe stores and more.
21 – Baby Boomers Recognition Day
Saluting their many contributions to our world.
21 – Summer Begins
At 3:10 a.m., EDT.
25 – Battle of Little Bighorn Anniversary
Today, 1876, General George Custer and troops
demonstrated why arrogance and overconfidence aren’t
good success strategies.
30 – Leap Second Adjustment Day
Coordinating atomic and astronomical time. Any
time-related promo can fit.
