Can you overdo the #AwarenessDays – August 2019

So you’ve checked the list of awareness days, and you’ve highlighted a couple of every single day that could be relevant for you business. But when is it too much? Can you undo all the good by simply flooding your social media feed with the same kind of post?

The short answer is “YES”! Your followers are attracted to new and unique, so by picking an #awareness day for every day of the month, you’ll simply bore them to tears.

Have a browse through the month, highlight a handful that are VERY relevant to your business or current campaign, and see when you don’t have anything else happening on your calendar. Then use these #Awareness Days to help you focus your content plan for the month.
