Each day in May brings us warmer and longer days as we get closer to summer. In the middle of the month, we have one of the more important holidays of the year both personally and for business marketing as we celebrate Mother’s day. Another significant holiday of the year happens at the end of the month with Memorial Day, when we honor those in the military who sacrificed their lives for our freedom and the way of life that we enjoy today.

Here are some of the May holidays to use in marketing including National Holidays, International Days, Awareness Days, Food Holidays, and of course the unusual or quirky social media holidays, some that might have been created by you!. Let’t take a look at how we can fill our May marketing calendars.
