Posting on social media during trending holidays is a fantastic way to build a connection with your followers and allows you to break out of the common struggle of thinking about what to post, providing fresh, fun, and meaningful ideas that help build a voice for your brand. This kind of content creates an opportunity to get involved in a movement that relates to your business and audience.
Holidays are a great time to use relative hashtags as it opens the door for like-minded people to discover your account and become familiar with your brand.
We recommend you be thoughtful about what holiday may be an organic fit for your brand and audience. Avoid posting every holiday and cluttering your feed with irrelevant topics.
It can be hard to keep up to date with all the holidays, so we have created a 2023 Social Media Holiday Calendar to help you plan your content for the year. Never miss an opportunity again to connect with your followers and increase brand engagement.
