World Wildlife Day
3rd March
It has become apparent that the way we live isn’t kind to our environment or the animals that we share the earth with. If we continue to live the way we do, it continues to threaten many species’ existence. This is an important topic to be discussed on World Wildlife Day.
We should use World Wildlife Day to speak about how we can change our ways to save the world’s wildlife, it is also an opportunity to celebrate the beauty of each form wildlife comes in from animals to insects to plants.
It really is time to step up. You can easily get involved in World Wildlife Day by bringing some important facts to your customers and employees' knowledge or speaking about ways that your business can be more sustainable.

Mothers Day
19th March
Mother’s Day is celebrated throughout the world, and the important thing to remember is that it doesn’t always have to be your mum! This is your chance to show your appreciation, your love, acknowledgment, and thanks. Many countries celebrate this through different dates, so ensure you’ve got the right date depending on where you are, but for the UK it’s the 19th of March.
For companies, this is your chance to make some sales. Use this day for discounts or putting on a special event for mothers. On your social media, wish everyone a happy mother’s day and ask your employees to share their appreciation for a special woman in their life.
However, something that has come to our attention is being able to opt out of email content. Not everyone will want to celebrate mother’s day, so give them the option to skip the mother’s day emails. This will show your understanding, and keep ALL your customers happy.
