Have you ever spotted a social media post about an awareness day and thought, “I wish I’d known about that!” It could have been the perfect opportunity for a post for your own business.
The trouble is, there are so many awareness days out there. From the important and thought-provoking to the wonderfully weird and wacky, there’s an occasion for almost everything. And tucked amongst them are plenty of dates that can provide great inspiration for your business content.
I’ve been sharing awareness days on social media month by month for a while now, but there are far too many to squeeze into one post without creating the scroll of doom!
So, I thought I’d bring them together here instead.
Whether you’re planning your social media content for the month ahead, looking for a little inspiration, or simply fancy finding out what unusual days are coming up, here are some of the awareness days and dates to know this September.
