Take a look at May’s marketing calendar, which includes interesting days for your customers to learn more.
In the month of May, we're all starting to get ready for the summer; longer nights and warmer days. Yes!
May is all about self-care with it being Mental Health Awareness Month (US), National Walking Month and Women's Health Care Month. Along with meditation month (something I'm a big fan of).
May is also Jewish-American heritage month and eggs Benedict month. Yum!
