Content marketers could use the holiday in one of two ways: encouraging leisure activities or taking a contrarian tact of promoting housework.
In the first case, marketers could publish articles, newsletters, or videos describing relaxing ways to celebrate. Here are a few example titles:
- A used bookstore: “10 Comforting Books That Prove Reading Is Better Than Doing Dishes.”
- A game and toy shop: “Our Favorite Family-friendly Board Games for No Housework Day.”
- An infant and children’s clothing boutique: “5 Reasons Every Mom Should Celebrate No Housework Day.”
The contrarian approach would argue that leaving dishes in the sink and days-old laundry in the basket is not good. Here are a few example ideas.
- A cleaning supply store: “No Housework Day? Be Aware of These Fast Growing Bacteria.”
- A pet supply retailer: “No Housework Day Can Confuse Dogs.”
- A home goods merchant: “10 Gadgets That Make Housework Fun.”
Haiku Poetry Day: April 17
Haikus often address nature and well-being, but content marketers can adapt them to promote products.
Sari Grandstaff, a poet, started Haiku Poetry Day in 2007. Five years later, the Haiku Foundation took over and has grown the occasion, celebrating it with film festivals, gatherings, and collaborations.
A haiku is a form of poetry from Japan. It has only three lines, each with a set number of syllables.
- The first line has five syllables.
- The second line has seven syllables.
- The third line has five beats syllables.
Haiku makes for good social media content and, when collected, blog posts. Here are a few haiku examples for items in a local Walmart.
