Is there a Master List of Special Days?

[Windy]

The only way I know of to find one of Zazzle "special days" such as July 26 (Aunt and Uncle Day) or May 23 (World Turtle Day) is to create a product and list it for sale and then click each month, one by one, and then scroll down through 30 or more listings looking for the special day that might or might not be listed. 

I am not entirely sure what the exact use of special days is, and how a customer might benefit from some of these. I don't know if people buy cards or send gifts or buy shirts, or what....for October's Be Bald and Be Free Day or February's Ferris Wheel Day.

Nonetheless, if there is a master list which we can refer to without having to create a product, I would like to be able to bookmark it for future reference.

you can always google holidays and it will give you a list, but as Nelda stated, most of the the ones you mentioned are not national or religious holidays - they are just "fun days" someone came up with.  There is a Moments Planning Guide which Zazzle put out that tells you when to create, post, and when zazzle will promote products for that day.  I believe I found it here in the forum. 

The holidays Zazzle promotes are Valentine's Day, Spring / Summer Wedding, St. Patrick's Day, Mother's Day, Graduation, Father's Day, Summer designs / 4th of July, Christmas in July, Fall Wedding, Back to School, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Winter Holiday Wedding, and Winter Holidays.

I still don't really understand why Zazzle lists any special days at all. There must be a reason but it simply eludes me. I googled "Zazzle Special Days" and nothing came up, so that does not seem to be a way to find the Master List of Zazzle Special Days.

Hi @Windy, we created this Calendar a few months back which should hopefully help you plan for some major events that happen throughout the year from when you should start product creation, to posting in time for customers to purchase. Feel free to leave any feedback regarding this Calendar in the feedback thread Scott posted under the main feature. 

Thanks!

Thanks James. Do we have any information on how a Zazzle Creator can make use of the "special days" such as for example SANDWICH DAY and COW APPRECIATION DAY and HUG AN AUSTRALIAN DAY?  I don't see these "special days" on the calendar, but we are given an opportunity to assign one of any number of  special days in the category process when we post for sale. I am not clear on why the "special days" are offered as part of the category process,  particularly in view of the fact that Zazzle does not include those days on the calendar you reference here.

If there is a Zazzle article on how a creator can make best use of the Zazzle "Special Days" category, I would like to read it.

I have thought about the special days, too. It could be fun to design for them - but they are so many and which are the ones that matter, at least to some people? Perhaps they are a forgotten niche?

Forgotten niche? Who knows?  But it is fun to design for them.  I made a calendar from this site, https://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/fun/.  And… I use it to communicate with my kids, grandkids, great grandchildren and the rest of my family and friends. Sometimes it creates a fun discussion. Branch out and enjoy!

Thank you, anura22! I love your calendar! It even has links to tell about each of all these special days! What a treasure, I'll certainly save this calendar for future needs!
