SEPTEMBER 2018 HOLIDAYS
FOR SOCIAL MEDIA CONTENT

Creating graphics to post on Social Media for various holidays – both traditional and fun – is a great way to engage your followers. And, if you include your website address at the bottom of the graphics it’s a great way to promote your business when the graphics are shared. A few days ago as I was researching September 2018 holidays I had a “lightbulb moment.” I figured if I find these holidays helpful to create social media content, that other businesses will too. So, I decided to share. Why should you compile your own list when I’ve already done the work?  You’re welcome! 

Here’s what you can do to create social media content for holidays:

1. Look at the list and determine which holidays you’d like to feature.

2. Create simple graphics regarding each holiday that include your website address.

3. Post them on Social Media the day of or the day before the actual holiday.

To create the graphics, use whatever graphics program you prefer. If you have a program or app on your computer or mobile device that works, use it. If you need a source for royalty-free graphics and photos, a great source is Pixabay. For online design options, try Fotor or Canva.
