Holidays
If you search long enough you’ll find every day is a holiday. We weren’t even sure we’d take Columbus Day off. Turns out there are scores of semi-observed holidays. Here are my top 10 favorites. We should definitely let our clients know about them… what great marketing opportunities! Take a look:

1. Pi Day (March 14)
