Pride Month is celebrated for the entire month of June. June was chosen as the official month for this celebration to honor the Stonewall Uprising in Manhattan. The Uprising was a huge turning point for LGBT+ rights in America.
Pride Month acknowledges and celebrates the impact that LGBT+ people have had on history, culture, and justice all over the world. There are a variety of ways to celebrate depending on where in the world you are. Parades, concerts, and marches are just a few examples.
LGBT+ pride isn’t just confined to the month of June, people celebrate it every day. Jewelry is an easy way to add some pride flair to a look. Whether it’s a necklace or a bracelet, you can’t go wrong with putting your design on these products.
Marketing for this celebration can be a little tricky, you don’t want to seem ingenuine. Show off your products on social media, focusing on Instagram and Twitter, and use #PrideMonth when you post. Try liking other Pride Month posts, especially if they discuss the history of LGBT+ issues.
While this may seem like a silly holiday, it actually has an important origin. It’s traced all the way back to World War I and the Salvation Army. Volunteers went to the frontlines to bring comfort meals to the troops. Doughnuts were the perfect meal to give while trying to cook in a difficult landscape. These volunteers would later be called “Doughnut Lassies.”
Why not offer some comfort yourself? Products like a blanket or pillow can be soft and warm just like a doughnut. Create a fun pattern with doughnuts or even create your own version of a Doughnut Lassie.
Your most interesting angle for marketing might be to share the history of this holiday. A lot of people will just assume this is a silly holiday, but you can show them otherwise. Try a series of emails explaining the holiday.
Show off your products and why you chose them specifically for National Doughnut Day.
You’re never too old to have a best friend and there’s no reason you shouldn’t celebrate them. In 1935, Congress decided to have June 8th be a day dedicated to close friends. Since then, other countries around the world have joined in on the celebration.
Usually, the standard products for best friends are jewelry that splits into 2 and when combined together makes a single shape, like a heart. But, you need to be different to stand out. Most adults don’t need another best friend necklace, but they might need/want matching drinkware. Matching mugs or wine glasses can make a fun and practical gift.
Social media will be your best friend with this holiday. Social media actually revived this holiday after it lost its popularity. When you post make sure to use the hashtag #Nationalbestfriendday. Start early and highlight what a great gift your products would make.
This holiday encourages people to take a break from their busy lives and go fishing. Many find fishing a meditative activity. Those who aren’t able to go fishing on this day usually treat themselves to a fish dinner.
Most people tend to go fishing early in the morning and it can get chilly. A long sleeve shirt is a perfect thing to wear in the early morning. You can make a silly design to celebrate this holiday on a variety of different styles of shirts.
Facebook is probably your best bet for this holiday if you don’t already have a dedicated fishing audience. Facebook is full of fishing groups and potential customers may share your designs within those groups. Start early by posting images of your products and use #nationalgofishingday.
While people might not think of it as an official holiday, the first day of summer in the Northern Hemisphere is worth getting excited about. Sunshine, beaches, and icy treats are just a few design ideas you can play with.

Yoga has gained fast popularity all over the world and this holiday celebrates the practice. Yoga is used as exercise, relaxation, and is even supposed to help with chronic pain.
