Scrambling to fill up your social media editorial calendar with engaging content for this quarter? Wishing you could think of more things to post?

Social media holidays are both major holidays and lesser-known yearly national days like “cat day.” Often, we don’t know about these holidays until we see other brands post about them.

These posts are fun and even sometimes entertaining. They offer a nice break from promoting your brand and curating content. 

Here at Rossman Media, we live and breathe social media marketing and have seen from experience how effective tapping into holidays is for a social media strategy. Naturally, we had to create this post outlining all the holidays in Q1 of 2022 that you can capitalize on.
