National Lawn Care Month
Since 1992, this month-long initiative has focused on heightening public awareness about the
benefits of natural grass and educating people about how to best care for lawns. Help landscape design and maintenance companies spread the word – and promote their businesses – with consumer outreach that includes promotional products. Think trowel-shaped seed paper, tree-shaped magnets, solar-powered dancing flowers and more.
School Library Month
Every April, the American Association of School Librarians encourages librarians to create
activities that demonstrate the value of strong school library programs. Support that effort with
school-branded bookmarks, pencils and reading award bracelets for students. Partnering with PTA members or school administrators could be the most efficient in route to this business.
Prevention of Animal Cruelty Month
From retail chain stores to local dentists, the list of potential prospects is long. Pitch pet bandannas, collapsible pet food bowls and pet food can covers.
