A new month, brighter days and for lots of us there are holidays on the horizon or time out from routine too. In today’s world though that time out will see most of us still connected to social media at some point, even if it’s just to share a snap from some far-flung beach. It’s important to remember that even where business may be quieter than usual, your potential customers are still online even if not in their workplace.
As always we’ve got a selection of dates that might be useful in your social media.
1st May – May Day; traditionally in Ireland, it marks the beginning of summer even if the weather doesn’t agree with it.
1st May – World Laughter Day; a celebration of laughter, humour and positivity – if you’re posting on social media over a bank holiday, something light-hearted works for this. Even better if it’s related to your business or industry.
2nd May – May Bank Holiday Monday; downtime for many others. A simple greeting, update on hours or even a May Bank Holiday special can work for a post on this day. Be mindful though, if you’re posting people tend to enjoy more light-hearted posts when they’re off duty.
4th May – Star Wars Day; one for fans of Star Wars, you either understand how you can work it for you and your audience or you bypass it and post just on your personal profiles for this one.
5th May – Password Day; a day to remind all of us to update or review our passwords. If you’ve got subscribers or your business is in some way IT-related, it’s a theme you might include in a blog post too.
12th May – Limerick Day; whimsical five-line poems named after the city of Limerick that might make for a simple social media competition.
13th May – World Cocktail Day; one for hospitality or off license traders, pick a special to celebrate it or share details of how followers might create their own, even better if you do a demo of it on video too.
16th May – Waiters Day; if you’ve got waiters on your team, today you might choose to share a photo or a little from behind the scenes about them, or simply thank them.
17th May – Work From Home Day; over the past two years, we’ve all learned how working from home isn’t necessarily the challenge it used to be. If you’ve got your team back full-time, why not allow them to work from home, or if it’s not practical to have everybody there, pick days each to enjoy even one day off the commute.
18th May – Museum Day; this year ‘The Power Of A Museum’ is the theme and you can find ideas and inspiration at icom.museum or keep an eye on museums local to you, it can be a pleasant surprise to visit an attraction that wouldn’t normally be a day out for you.
20th May – World Bee Day; so much more than just an insect, bees are a really important part of our ecosystem. If you’re in education or it’s got your attention, there’s a wealth of information for both adults and child together with resources you can download to use at worldbeeday.org
21st May – Virtual Assistants Day; an essential element to so many businesses, if you’ve got a super-star VA supporting your team why not give them a special thank you on this day?
27th May – Sunscreen Day; there’s nothing like a bright, sunny day or a beach holiday to life the spirits. However, with it comes with risk and while it’s not clear that this day is marked in Ireland we’re going to include it. If you’re involved in selling summer products such as garden furniture or holidays, or even summer clothing there’s an opportunity for you to remind people to be sunsmart at this time of year.
