Wow! That's a lot of holidays. Thanks for sharing—I didn’t know about some of these. I’m from India, so I look forward to Navratri and Diwali, which are celebrated with a lot of excitement. Many people do product marketing during these festivals too. Apart from that, New Year and Christmas are also on my list! :)))

This is an amazing list, Nika! I was actually researching it the other day. It can be very useful.

Definitely can be overwhelming with so many options. I usually just focus on Black Friday/Cyber Monday. I strategize a few months in advance to give ample time for preparations.

I usually prepare some special posts/discounts only on the major holidays. I think the most important ones for business are Black Friday and Christmas. Actually this year we are planning to donate to an animal shelter for Christmas as a company to try and inspire other to do something nice during the holidays!

@busmark_w_nika Thank you Nika! Actually some members of my team are already involved with local animal shelters and they are going to help me distribute the donation!

I'm using Black Friday for all my SaaS customers. I also do a back-to-school campaign in September for some. That could be a good addition to your list. St Valentin can be used sometimes but you need to be really creative with it.
