Social Media Inspiration for December

December Social Media Content Inspiration

The final month of December brings an interesting time when planning out your social media content.  There really needs to be a great mixture of festive, fun, and reflective posts in addition to taking advantage of the busiest shopping month of the year.  I hope this article helps inspire you with some timely topics to include when you are planning out your social media content for the month.

Planning out your social media content in advance can not only save you time, stress, and energy, it allows you to strategically maximize the reach and engagement of planning content that matches what will be trending that month.

So if your goal is to increase reach, get more engagement, and ultimately get more website traffic, followers, customers and revenue - read on.

Using National Days in your social media content plan is an easy way to tap into topics that will be trending on the day of the post.  You can use national days to have fun, or the opposite to tap into serious issues and show your support for various causes and issues.

I often refer to the website NATIONAL DAY CALENDAR to research what national days might suit my audience, and to use for my clients.

Remember to use the corresponding hashtags as they are often trending on Instagram and Twitter.

National Day posts tend to get more reach and engagement and are a great "social" style of post where you are authentically trying to connect with your audience.
