Promotions are a great opportunity to flaunt your creativity. Creativity is what gets people talking about you and gets you remembered — which is one of the most important things in marketing. Your promotion can be wacky, an insanely good deal, helping an important charity or non-profit, or any mix of these, but the most important is that it gets people’s attention.

One way of doing this is to have a promotion for a little-known and lesser-celebrated holiday. If you do a little research, you’ll find a gold mine of crazy holidays most people haven’t heard of. Pick one that you can tie into your business or a new product or service, and get your creative juices flowing!
