On 15th November, that is the national recycling day, remind people to recycle their trash. If you sell products that can be recycled or sent back to you once they have been all used up, make your consumers aware of it. Also share information on how people can change the consumption patterns to reduce their carbon footprints. Maybe your products or services could help them with that.

Bid adieu to LONG Days
How can we forget that November is the month when daylight saving ends, nights become longer as we head into December? You can use it as a content theme. Use the colors of autumn in your website. Think of sending a postcard to your mailing list and remind them to set their clocks an hour back. Or you may tell your customers that they now have an extra hour which they could utilize by enjoying one of your products or services.
