1. World Wildlife Day: Each year, 3rd March is set aside for raising awareness about the need to understand and protect wildlife. It’s a chance to celebrate all of the different plant and animal species that make our world so beautiful and unique, and remind your online followers about the many benefits that come with environmental conservation. Let your community know what this day means to you and your team, and share photos or videos of your own conservation efforts while encouraging others to do the same!
2. International Women’s Day: On 8th March, we celebrate women’s accomplishments made around the world, raise awareness about gender inequality, and encourage action towards achieving universal equality. You can start a constructive dialogue with your online community by reflecting on a few of the many global contributions women have made toward veterinary medicine and other industries, and addressing the systematic challenges that women still face today.
3. St. Patrick’s Day: 17th March is a celebration of Irish culture and heritage, and you can honour the day by uploading photos of team members and customers dressed in green! This is also a great time to remind pet owners about keeping toxic substances, like alcohol, away from their pets.
4. Nutrition and Hydration Week: From 17th to 23rd March this year, you can educate pet owners about the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle by making sure their pets are eating and drinking well. Let social media followers know the warning signs of malnutrition and dehydration in pets, and what to do if a pet isn’t eating or drinking enough on a daily basis.
5. First Day of Spring: The 20th of March is the official start of spring, and you can celebrate its arrival by asking your online followers what activities they like to do with their pets in the new season. Use this as an opportunity to remind pet owners about the need to regularly take their pets in for preventive care check-ups, and invite them to conveniently book your services online anytime, anywhere, and on any device!
6. International Day of Happiness: The 20th of March is a day for celebrating cheer all around the world. Upload funny photos, videos, or stories of team members, customers, and pets—and invite your social media followers to do the same! Share tips on how pet owners can ensure their pets live the happiest lives possible by establishing healthy habits, such as daily play and exercise, along with a consistent routine.
7. Tick Bite Prevention Week: From the 25th to the 31st of March, make sure pet owners know the dangers of tick bites for both them and their pets. You can keep your community safe from sickness and disease by sharing tips for preventing tick encounters and bites, and encouraging them to maintain up-to-date vaccinations. Consider throwing in a promotion (like 20% off pet vaccines) to incentivise pet owners to book preventative care services at your clinic!
8. Mother’s Day: Last but most certainly not least—the 30th of March is for celebrating mums across the country! Be sure to wish a happy Mother’s Day to your social media followers, and highlight all the wonderful things that both human and non-human mothers do for their children. You may even partner with a local organisation to connect prospective pet mums with a nearby shelter to adopt from.
