JULY 2019 HOLIDAYS FOR SOCIAL MEDIA CONTENT & PROMOTIONS
Social media content ideas can be a struggle for small businesses. It can be difficult to find the time to create interesting content. If you’ve been reading this blog or follow my business on Facebook or Instagram, you know that one thing I love to do for my business is to post information about special “holidays” each month.
If you want to check out my business Social Media Pages visit these:
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. As I was researching holidays a few ago 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:
- Look at the list and determine which holidays you’d like to feature.
- Create simple graphics regarding each holiday that include your website address.
- 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.
You can also use these holidays to create promotions. Here are a few examples:
- On International Joke Day, you can encourage your customers to post jokes on one of your Social Media pages, like Facebook. Then have all your customers VOTE by liking the jokes they like the best. The person with the most likes could win a prize. This could be a great way to engage your audience!
- On World Chocolate Day, you could offer FREE chocolates to your customers.
- On Give Something Away Day, you could give something away with every purchase.
Of course these examples don’t apply to everyone, but you get the idea! Think of how you can relate the holidays to your business and offer something special on some of the days. Customers like free things and discounts. They also like promotions that are fun. Instead of copying what other businesses do, think of ways you can use these holidays to make doing business with you a memorable and fun experience!
