March awareness days to inspire your social media content
There are LOTS of March awareness days to inspire your social media content this month – so be selective – choose the ones that you know will connect with your ideal customers around a common interest. Do try to avoid using them too often as this could detract from your key message.
Select a few of the March awareness days that you can hang some content around. If you feel like you’re forcing it, then it probably isn’t the right day for you. These days are here to help you to tell a business story or to support how you market your product or service.
March 2025 has a variety of dates which should help you create some engaging content. A handful of them are US based, however their subject matter could still offer social media content opportunities for my community. I’ve highlighted a few of my favourites at the top of the blog, and listed the rest of these special days.
Tap on each of the events below and they will take you directly to the organiser’s page or to more info.
*If I’ve missed any key dates, I apologise, this is no easy job and I’m providing this to you for free.
*Please check all dates before using them in your marketing. It is your responsibility to check the accuracy of the information. I’m just sharing my own research to make life easier for you.
*Lastly please do bring any dates I have missed to my attention and I can add them in for others to view.
