February 15: Single Awareness Day

On Valentine’s Day, people tend to feel bad for people who are single. Single Awareness Day is to prove those people wrong. Being single isn’t a bad thing, in fact, some people love being single! They see it as the ultimate freedom.

It’s hard to pinpoint who started this holiday. A man named Dustin Barnes claims to have created the holiday with his friends. The earliest record of this holiday is in 1999.

Product Inspiration

You can’t go wrong with a classic long sleeve shirt! Our long sleeve shirt is comfortable in all kinds of weather. It will last a long time because it has a double needled neckband and hems.

The holiday is to celebrate a Shark Tank product called The Comfy, but this is so much more than a holiday for a single product. It’s all about a lifestyle of being comfortable throughout the day every day.

Product Inspiration

Marketing Inspiration

There is no better way to sell comfy clothes than to demonstrate how comfy they are. Take lots of pictures of you or other people wearing your hoodie. Make sure to have different poses and backgrounds to create more interest for your photos.

The next step is to post them all over social media, focus on Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest because they’re so image-heavy.

February 28: National Public Sleeping Day

Is there anything better than a good night’s sleep?

Is there anything worse than a bad night’s sleep?

We’ve all had those days when we’re so tired we fall asleep in a class, as a passenger of a vehicle, or at work. On February 28, it’s National Public Sleeping Day, meaning no one can judge you if you fall asleep in public on this day.

Product Inspiration

What better product to pair with National Public Sleeping Day than our indoor/outdoor pillow? You can bring this pillow with you everywhere you go. Bring it with you when you fly, ride a bus, or even bring it to work and sleep during your break.

Indoor/Outdoor Pillow Details

  • Made of polyester microfiber
  • The indoor version is softer than the outdoor version
  • The outdoor version has a smoother, durable feel
  • Comes in 2 sizes (in inches): 16X16 and 18X18

Marketing Inspiration

Use social media and an email campaign for this holiday. If any of your customers are insomniacs they’ll most likely be spending time on their phone late at night. Make sure you reach them by using both types of platforms. Have fun marketing this holiday, it’s silly and lighthearted, and your marketing should be too.
