Because book marketing can get pretty intense, it helps to lighten things up a bit now and then. Nothing makes that easier than the list of quirky holidays in March offered at\u00a0HolidayInsights<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I pulled out a few of my favorites (below), but before scanning these and the full list at HolidayInsights<\/a>, consider how you might leverage one of the many special days coming up next month.<\/p>\n

How to leverage whacky holidays<\/h2>\n

Here are just a couple of ideas:<\/p>\n

\n
• Write a blog post<\/strong> about why one of the holidays resonates with you. For example, “Old Stuff Day” speaks to me as I spend a little time each evening donating, tossing out, or recycling some of what I’ve accumulated during two decades raising a family. I’m getting rid of “old stuff,” but maybe you’re hanging on to it. Write about why.<\/li>\n
• Create a social media image<\/a><\/strong> for your favorite occasion in March and share it with a question that generates engagement. I’ll be doing that on the Build Book Buzz Facebook page<\/a> on March 1, so I hope you’ll join the conversation there then.<\/li>\n
• Write and distribute a tip sheet<\/a><\/strong> related to a holiday you can link to your book. Proposal Day on March 20 can lead to a tip sheet on how to propose marriage or anything else.<\/li>\n
• Create a contest.<\/strong><\/a> Ask readers to submit a picture of their favorite food on a stick on March 28 and give a copy of your book to the winner.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  I’m sure you can think of many, many more things you can do with any of these quirky holidays next month.<\/p>\n
