    Very helpful, thank you. Many companies will pick the big ones like May 4 with clever memes (which can be a lot of fun).

    National Teacher Day is an important one that any educational nonprofit had better promote; same with National Nurses Day (you’ll probably see a lot of thank you first responders posts here).

    It’s funny that Elon on SNL is on there – from a marketing standpoint I think that’s going to be one of the top trends for that week if for no other reason than all the controversy it could generate – or it could be a complete and utter flop which will also generate huge marketing potential. This is one of those events you either jump into (if appropriate for your business) or sit back and watch. People won’t pay attention to scheduled off-topic tweets when there’s Elon on SNL going on.

    Cheers everyone for a great week in marketing!

    May 4th is also the 51st anniversary of the Kent State shootings (On May 4, 1970, members of the Ohio National Guard fired into a crowd of Kent State University demonstrators, killing four and wounding nine Kent State students.)

    The Star Wars “May the Force Be With You” thing is cute and all, but you should have some sensitivity surrounding this date.
