As we head into fall, the holiday season will soon be approaching. This might be when a brand or business moves away from social media to focus on other holiday-related tasks and events. We will always support taking a small break when needed, but we strongly encourage you to queue up some posts before doing so.

Since the holiday season is an ideal opportunity for promoting your products, services, and business, below are some ideas for posts to schedule now so you can sit back and enjoy the season.

  • Holiday gift guide

Everyone needs a little gift inspiration now and then.

  • Promotions/sales

There will be shopping if there is one thing for sure about the holidays. Take advantage of this and get your brand out there.

  • Giveaway/contests

You can never go wrong with a giveaway. A gift card for some much-needed coffee could be just the thing someone needs right now.

  • Holiday Recipes

Who doesn’t love a good holiday treat?!

  • Festive poll

Want to build engagement? Ask your audience how they cook turkey, favorite holiday traditions, or how they feel about re-gifting.

  • Show off the team behind the brand.

Followers like to see behind the scenes and who is behind the screen. Show your team and express your gratitude.

  • Silly days are the best.

Christmas Card Day, Gingerbread House Day, National Cocoa Day . . . the content writes itself on these days. Figure out what special occasions you can fit into your brand.

  • New Year’s Resolution

Share your goals for the new year and ask your audience to do the same.

Be sure all of your social accounts are covered, making your posts fun for each of your audiences.
