National Food and Drink Days are ideal for those looking to enhance brand awareness and sales through digital platforms. It can be easy to simply publish a post every time there is an awareness day, however, we’d strongly recommend that you choose a select few so that you can generate targetted content that engages your social media followers. Choosing a select few awareness days to indirectly promote your brand or a product could help you fulfil your business objectives online.
Below, we’ve created a list of National Food and Drink Days that will help you generate content for your social media channels. We also have a calendar filled with charity/good cause awareness events, click here to view it.
If you know of an event but it isn’t on the list, then please do not hesitate to get in touch and we’ll add it to the list.
Please note: we add awareness activities to the calendar every 2 months (end of February, April, June, August, October and December). We cannot put activities onto the calendar if we are given short notice.
