Social Media Challenge Day 17

Bonfire Night, Black Friday & more… are you ready?

Day 17 – Plan Ahead for Key Dates

You know that moment when you see loads of posts about a national day or event that would’ve been perfect for your business… but it’s too late to join in

Let’s avoid that.

Today’s task:

🗓️ Look ahead to November and pick two key dates that are relevant to your customers or your business. Plan your posts for them now — even if it’s just a quick note or draft in your phone.

Need ideas? Here are a few to get you started:

📍 1st Nov – World Vegan Day / Start of Movember

📍 5th Nov – Bonfire Night

📍 11th Nov – Remembrance Day

📍 13th Nov – World Kindness Day

📍 19th Nov – International Men’s Day

📍 28th Nov – Black Friday

📍 29th Nov – Small Business Saturday

📍 30th Nov – St Andrew's Day

Whether you’re planning a story, a reel, an email or just a themed post, getting ahead means you’re not scrambling last minute.

Pick two. Write down a rough idea. You’ve just made future-you very happy.
