What’s Happening in April

Spring Days to Embrace in Your Content

Tax Day and Easter are the big things that most of us think about in April - but there’s so much more going on. As with trees leaf out, the world’s attention is drawn to eco friendly ideas and stories of all kinds. Sustainability within the lifestyle industry is so important, every brand should be embracing this trend.

Top Days in April

April 1, 2025 (Tuesday): April Fool's Day
