Posting on special days in Turkey.
- Days of mourning. 18 March, 15 July and 10 November are days of remembrance. No promotional post; on 10 November especially, a quiet remembrance, or nothing.
- Religious days. The Bayrams and the Kandil nights follow the Hijri calendar and come about 11 days earlier each year, so a Kandil can fall twice in one year. The dates here are those published by the Presidency of Religious Affairs (Diyanet). No alcohol or pork in a post on these days.
- Offers. Post on Efsane Cuma (Black Friday) only with a real offer. A price reduction must be shown against the lowest price of the previous 30 days, as Turkey's rules on discount announcements require.
- National days. 23 April, 19 May, 30 August and 29 October are national holidays: a greeting is common, and say if you are closed.
Your Neaion office plans posts from this calendar by itself: the days of your country, the religious calendar you choose, your trade and your own dates, a few days ahead, each waiting for your OK. Days of mourning stay quiet, and a shopping day gets a post only with an offer of yours. How your office makes posts.
