Ramadan
(ramadan kareem, eid, eid mubarak)

Now is also an eggcellent time to start preparing Easter contents. Make sure they’re uploaded and ready by March or April. This is because both months show the biggest jump in searches and downloads regarding Easter contents. As much as tripling the amount from February! Knowing this, it’s an opportunity that you definitely wouldn’t want to miss.

As Easter coincides with spring, most of its symbols are refreshing and fun. In our data analysis we can see that Easter eggs steal the spotlight for being the most popular content here, it could be in a flat lay, it could be accompanied by spring flowers or fresh grass, covered in beautifully painted patterns and don’t forget to add the iconic Easter bunny too.

Earth Day
(earth, earth day, world, globe)
This annual event celebrated on April 22 is a global movement with more than 1 billion participants in 192 countries each year.

From large corporations to small businesses to personal usage, every level of our society looks forward to celebrating Mother’s Day.

Similarly it will continue on to May and come to an abrupt drop in June. Time is of essence here so plan this out nicely to reap the best results!
Content wise, the trending images are often filled with beautiful pink flowers from carnations to tulips to roses. Loving mother and daughter depictions are top on the ranks too, most of them holding a card with a heart or a small bunch of flowers.
