How to use the Health & Wellness Awareness Days Calendar 2023

The health and wellness awareness days calendar lists over 200 awareness days, as well as listing health-related awareness months giving you a comprehensive downloadable calendar of key dates throughout the year, that are relevant for health and wellness-based businesses and practitioners. There are a few fun dates thrown in along the way, World Nutella Day anyone!? 😋

So, how to get started:

1. Download your FREE Health & Wellness Awareness Days Calendar

2. Choose 1-2 awareness days

• Choose 1-2 health awareness days from each month that are most relevant to your business and your ideal clients and factor them into your content plan and promotions. Please don’t feel like you have to use every single awareness day!

3. Check the date/s

• Do a quick check of the date/s before you post just to make sure the date hasn’t changed or moved. As much as we regularly check and update the calendar, it’s always good to double-check as some dates are not confirmed so early in advance or can shift by a few days or a week.

4. Use #hashtags and resources

• Make use of the relevant hashtags and resources where possible. Many of the awareness days have whole campaigns behind them, so this is an ideal way to join in the conversation and engage with your audience on topics that matter to them.

5. Tap into #journorequests

• Check #journorequest on Twitter for the chance to be quoted in the press as journalists are often looking for comments from practitioners and experts around awareness day topics. Not sure how to promote your wellness business? Check out my blog post: How to do PR for your wellness business

There’s nothing better than knowing that you’ve already got some content in the bag and scheduled ahead of time (the dream right!)?, whether it be an Instagram post, a blog post, a newsletter or maybe even a podcast episode.
