Reading Time: 3 minutes.

With February fast approaching, it's time to start thinking about your social media posting plan for the month ahead (if you've not already done so)!

A popular way to keep your social media posts relevant is to include national days and trending events.

To help, I have outlined some events below. This isn’t an exhaustive list, but they will be sure to give you lots of inspiration. You don't need to include them all in your posting plan, but you may want to consider adding a few that are relevant to your audience.
