A free idea for bosses â combine National Employee Appreciation Day with National Day of Unplugging by giving your employees at least a half-day (or the whole day!) off to get away from their phones and screens to enjoy a carefree day.
You could suggest reasons to unplug, which also promotes your products, especially if you are in the wellness industry! Take GOOP for example...

Go to the pantry and pull out your favorite box of sugary oats for this day that celebrates a treat enjoyed by people young and old.
Time to engage your audience in conversation! Ask your fans what their favourite cereal is? Maybe make a crazy cereal creation including your product or ask your team how they make their cereal in the mornings - you never know someone might add milk before the cereal. đą

8. đ National Proofreading Day #NationalProofreadingDay
It's always a good idea to re-read that email before you hit send, or walk away from the screen in order to check an article again with fresh eyes. On National Proofreading Day, practice good habits that help limit communication mistakes.

There are 3.14159265359âŚreasons to celebrate Pi Day.
A pizza company in Boston, Blaze, used Pi Day as inspiration to run a promo that offered a memorable and positive customer experience â they offered discounted pizza pies (get it?) for only $3.14 on Pi Day. đ
14. đ¤ National Napping Day (Day after DST) #NationalNappingDay
Let's be honest, who couldn't use an extra bit of shuteye? This day is recognized as the day after daylight savings time returns as a way to get back the hour we just lost, but really any day is a good day for a nap.
Remind your followers that napping isnât lazy, itâs an art. Where would we be without napping? A whole lot more tired. Napping is an ancient art practiced by people across the globe. Like all arts, however, napping like a pro takes skill.
17. đ St. Patrick's Day #StPatricksDay
Though often celebrated now by tipping back a green beer, St. Patrick's Day is on March 17 to remember the death of Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, and the tradition of wearing green on this day dates back a few centuries, even though Patrick was originally associated with the color blue.
Turn your social feed green with St. Patrickâs Day celebrations! Krispy Kreme temporarily changed their iconic Original Glazed Donut to an "O'riginal Glazed Donut" for one day only (see what they did there?)
Food dyed green for St. Patrick's Day is not a new strategy, but because Krispy Kreme is such a traditional brand (and their glazed donut is one of the most well-known donuts), it has garnered a lot of press, and there's a chance their sales today will reflect that.
St. Patrick's Day is celebrated in a memorable way, and the messaging of 'one day only' brings an air of urgency to the campaign.
18. đ´đ Red Nose Day #RedNoseDay
