What better excuse to send an email to your list than to remind them that today is National Peanut Butter Day, and if they tell you why they like creamy better than chunky or vice a versa, they get a 21% discount off your product?

National Backward Day might be a time to offer your products at backward prices ($79 instead of $97, for example.). Or perhaps even for free as a marketing special.

National Hangover Day? Send them your own personal hangover cure. If you don’t have one, make it up with humor.

If you have red hair, then on National Kiss a Ginger Day you might wear a t-shirt or carry a sign that tells people it’s Kiss a Ginger Day and make a video of yourself in a public place trying to get air kisses or handing out Hershey Kisses.

Boundless Ideas Create Money Making Opportunities

The ideas are boundless and many of these offer excellent chances to inject humor into your online marketing strategies. The more creative you are, the more money making ideas you can generate. The more ideas you generate, the more money making opportunities you will discover.

The more serious causes are even easier; simply give your readers a tiny education or story about the cause and let them know you’re donating a certain percentage of all sales made that day.

In the list of holidays I’m also including hashtags to help you with your social media marketing as well, so that you can pick up some new subscribers from your holiday campaigns.

There is no end to dates for content creativity

I didn’t even scratch the surface. The only thing that is holding you back is that you were not aware of what a great opportunity this is. Now you know. Dates are a great way to market your products and make money online. Or to support a cause or a community event. Oh yeh, and some more good news. The dates just keep coming, along with celebrations, recognitions, and holidays. I will be back in February!

Until then, be creative, and tune up your marketing strategy to include some additional creatives.
