With the rush and madness of the holidays just around the corner, it's easy to get overwhelmed and let social media hit the back burner.
If you are the kind of business owner that enjoys posting as time and creativity allow for it to happen, I think that's great. We as business owners should enjoy the content creation process (for the most part) as we are sharing something we love...our business! 😊
Where you may run into problems if you post on the fly is when things get extra busy in December ie: prepping for holiday sales in your shop or planning to take winter break off to be with family. The month of December is why I preach content planning.
If you are struggling to map out your content strategy, here are a few things you can do.
✅ Identify or remind yourself of your business content pillars.
✅ Sit down with a content calendar. Download one here.
✅ Jot down your ideas for the month. Are you promoting anything in your business? Do you have a great educational REEL you could create?
If in doubt about how to get rolling, book a 1:1 call with me.
Alright, that's enough lecturing 😉 let's get into December Social Media Dates you can use in your content strategy.
