Flag Day has its origin in the American Revolution.
Find products, events, or media celebrating the 50th anniversary and write about them for your business. Aim to connect that topic to the products your company sells.

Six-point list articles, 50th anniversaries, podcasts, Flag Day, and Father’s Day can help online sellers attract, retain, and engage shoppers in June 2022 and beyond.

June is the sixth month in the Julian calendar, so why not use that number and publish one or several six-item list articles or listicles.

However, Father’s Day did not become a permanent holiday in the United States until June 1972. A full six years after Johnson’s initial proclamation.

These semi-century events can make good subjects for content marketing. Businesses could publish profiles of products, films, inventions, occurrences, or albums introduced in June 1972 (or just 1972).
American patriotism is the core value of Black Rifle Coffee Company.
Riverside lets users record podcasts and videos in studio quality from anywhere.

  • How-to listicles. An online store selling kitchen supplies, for example, might publish “How to Deep Fry Oyster Mushrooms in Six Easy Steps.”
  • Best of listicles. A fishing gear outfitter could produce “The Six Best Fishing Spots on the North Umpqua River.”
  • Predictive listicles. A shop selling science kits could publish “Six Ways Biotechnology Will Change Humanity.”
  • Motivational listicles. A workout gear company could publish “Six Guaranteed Ways to Lose Weight This Month.”

Flag Day made this list of suggested content marketing ideas back in 2014. At that time, we presented some possible article or video titles that can still work in 2022.
There are plenty of tools in the market to help podcasts simultaneously create video and audio podcasts, such as Riverside.

  • David Bowie, “The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.”
  • Eagles, “Eagles.”
  • John Lennon & Yoko Ono, “Some Time in New York City.”
  • The Carpenters, “A Song for You.”
  • Aretha Franklin, “Amazing Grace.”

So for this Father’s Day, let’s tread lightly with our content marketing. Focus on celebrating dads and endearing customers to your brand rather than only promoting products. This focus might take the form of a heartfelt Father’s Day article, user-generated Father’s Day stories, or sharing personal stories about the company founders.

The American colonists had many military leaders and flags based on region or affiliation when the war started.

Although it was not until 1916 that Flag Day became an official American holiday, its origin goes back to the American Revolutionary War.

Audio + Video Podcasts

Joe Rogan’s podcast is available in audio and video forms and can be used to create a virtuous cycle of audience engagement.

In June, borrow a play from the creator playbook and start to broadcast (live stream) or at least publish video versions of audio podcasts.

In 1966, President Lyndon B. Johnson issued the first presidential proclamation honoring fathers and establishing Father’s Day as the third Sunday of June.

The audio/video podcast does not need to be entertainment like Rogan’s experience. It can be helpful or informative content too.

Flag Day, June 14

Content marketing creates and distributes valuable, interesting, or entertaining content to acquire customers and make sales. Content marketers must understand their customers and seek to serve them.
