Awareness Events Calendar For The Month Of September
September is the start of the school year for kids where most people return from their holidays back to their work schedules. Though the lazy summer holidays have ended, September makes a great time for travelling and fun. With the holiday crowd dispersed and the sunshine still there for most of the month, it is a perfect time for camping, picnics and road trips with your friends and family. The crisp clear days of September and the picturesque natural spectacles draw a lot of holiday makers and fun seekers into the open, which makes it a perfect time for marketers to plan their promotions as well.
Here are some of the major events that are slated for September. For marketers who wish to associate themselves with these events can get started right away on a sure footing
September 17-23
• National Clean Hands Week: The simple act of washing hands with soap can help prevent a lot of diseases. Promote the social message of personal hygiene and the importance of washing hands before eating food on the National clean hands week. Custom hand sanitizers will make a perfect handout to promote this message. Every time your recipients get reminded to wash hands and stay safe from diseases they will also think of your brand. Choose from a range of models like gels, sprays and bottles that will keep both your recipients and brand image robust and healthy.
• Prostate Cancer Awareness Week: The week of September 17-23 is also observed as Prostrate cancer awareness week. Other than skin cancer, prostate cancer is the most common cancer among American men. About 1 man in 7 will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime. Spread awareness about this deadly disease by handing out appropriate handouts like ribbon shaped magnets, awareness bracelets and more. These can be used as fund raising items as well because everyone will be pleased to join their hands with this social cause and to pitch in their bit for the cancer survivors.
September 24-30
National Dog Week: Celebrate the unconditional love and cuteness of man’s best friends of dogs on this day and join hands to improve the life of all dogs. Marketers like pet care clinics can consider offering store promotional gifts like food containers, safety pet lights, pet brush and pet food among others. National Dog Week is as much about acknowledging the responsibilities of dog owners as it is about celebrating dogs themselves. Now into the 84th year, National Dog Week offers a rare chance to organize new and fun events for dog lovers and dogs. Run contests for the poodles, take these gentle animals to park or spa or organize a fund raising event for dogs in need and local pet shelters.
September 11 – Patriot Day
It makes a day of remembrance for thousands who perished in the attacks of September 11, 2001, in New York City, Washington. Businesses can hand out patriotic themed handouts like keychains, hand fans or totes among others to commemorate the day. Your recipients will never fail to show your social commitment behind the act.
September 11-17, 2017 – Kentucky Bourbon Festival
The host town of Bardstown, Kentucky, better known as the Bourbon Capital of the World will receive scores of whisky fans who come to celebrate their love of some great drinks, music and fun events. Bars and nightclubs can handout interesting freebies like beer mug shaped coasters and clear shot glasses among others.
Sep 28, – Oct 1, 2017 – Oktoberfest
This German festival is celebrated with fervor and fun in most parts of the United States, particularly among the German beer lovers. For marketers who are planning to make Oktoberfest their promotional theme can consider barware items like classic flutes, wine tumblers and napa wine goblets among others. Personalize these with your brand and message to make it a great handout that you will love for sure.
