Those items won&#8217;t arrive by Christmas day if ordered much past the 14th.<\/p>\n<p>Content marketers can use National Free Shipping Day to make last-ditch pitches to shoppers, publishing articles about deadlines or explaining why print-to-order is good for the environment but not last-minute shopping.<\/p>\n<h3>National Whiner&#8217;s Day<\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_1544489\" style=\"width: 580px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1544489\" class=\"wp-image-1544489 size-large\" title=\"Photo of a teenage female looking sad in front of a Christmas tree\" src=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/110124-whiner-570x380.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of a teenage female looking sad in front of a Christmas tree\" width=\"570\" height=\"380\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/110124-whiner-570x380.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/110124-whiner-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/110124-whiner-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/110124-whiner-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/110124-whiner.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1544489\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">National Whiner&#8217;s Day recognizes that some of us are sad the day after Christmas.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Content marketers usually focus on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/how-to-write-a-tutorial-to-attract-customers\">utility and information<\/a>, leaving entertainment to influencers and creators.
