110 hot topics to inspire your social media content this May

userby Hannah McKernon

May brings us lots of hot topics, mainly about animals, food and celebrations. So lots of social media fun to be had this month and great causes to spread the word about...

#NationalWalkingMonth runs for the whole month, fill your feeds with the great outdoors and showcase what you offer for walk-loving customers. As does #NationalShareAStoryMonth and #ZombieAwarenessMonth - can you incorporate any of these themes into your content throughout the month? Perhaps tell the story of your business, or share some spook-tacular content.

May 4: Is Bird Day! A day to raise awareness of the importance of bird species conservation, and the perfect reason to show some love for our fabulous feathered friends. #BirdDay

May 6: Is of course the Kings Coronation, so a wonderful day to join in the celebrations and online conversation, and engage your audience with some fun coronation content. #Coronation

May 8: World Donkey Day is all about recognising the charm and many amazing characteristics off the donkey, and raising awareness about this wonderful animal and the threats some of these face. #WorldDonkeyDay

May 11: For one day only, you are allowed to eat what you want. Or more importantly, your customers are! So showcase the delights you offer through your social media content. #EatWhatYouWantDay

May 13: It would simply be rude not to enjoy a cocktail on World Cocktail Day, so show everyone what creations you offer and tempt them through your door. Chin, chin. #WorldCocktailDay
