About August

August is the 8th month of the year and the 3rd and final month of summer. It’s often when people take vacations to enjoy good weather. 

Top Consumer Spending Events

Back to College and Back to School shopping are in full swing and typically experience a peak the first weekend of August according to RetailMeNot. These two top consumer spending events come in 2nd and 3rd on the National Retail Federation’s list of top annual consumer spending events, right after the winter holidays.

View the planners below for insights and resources:

August Symbology

It’s always someone’s birthday. Tying into August symbology is a great way to offer personalized gifts.

  • August’s birthstones are peridotsardonyx, and spinel.
  • Its birth flowers are the gladiolus or poppy.
  • The zodiac signs for the month of August are Leo (lion) until August 21 and Virgo (maiden) August 22 onwards.

Regarding the Holidays and Occasions We Have Chosen

Our goal in creation of these calendars is to make marketing planning easier. So, in order to keep things simple we have chosen to focus on the top 12 consumer spending events as identified by the National Retail Federation; U.S. Federal Holidays; significant religious, ethnic, and cultural holidays that represent the diversity of the U.S. population as identified by ADL; and popular hashtag holidays that provide an opportunity for a natural business tie-in.

If you are interested in finding more occasions to commemorate here are a few resources:

Note that Bahá’í, Jewish, and Islamic holidays begin at sundown the previous day and end at sundown on the date listed.

Plans spread across a hodgepodge of printed calendars and spreadsheets?

Struggling to get a clear view of everything in market? We've been there and we believe that plans siloed by channel, project, and campaign, are holding marketers back from delivering cohesive and compelling omnichannel customer experiences that drive more revenue.

That's why we founded Annum.
