Leverage hashtags for holiday buzz
Hashtags can do wonders for increasing your reach during the holidays—they’re like little beacons guiding new followers to your content. Whether they’re popular or niche, hashtags can help you stand out. Even if a hashtag isn’t trending, it could still work in your favor by helping you gain visibility in smaller, less crowded feeds. But remember, quality over quantity is key—except on Instagram, where, let's be honest, you can go a little overboard. Pro tip: Post your hashtags in the comments section to keep your feed clean and tidy. Plus, you can refresh them every few hours to keep your post at the top!
Get ahead with holiday campaigns
Planning a holiday sale or promotion? Start teasing it early! Announcing your campaign before the rush can help you get noticed before the competition. For example, a Christmas sale may be drowned out on December 25th, but an early promotion starting in mid-November gives your audience plenty of time to prepare—and it keeps your brand top of mind long before the holiday frenzy begins.
Creative greeting cards & timing
Holiday greeting cards are a timeless tradition. But to make them stand out, add a unique spin that reflects your brand’s personality. Share your greeting card a few days before the big holiday to give it a higher chance of being seen. Posting right on the holiday may result in it getting lost in the sea of other holiday content.
Show off your brand’s personality during social observances
Holidays aren't just about the big celebrations—they’re a chance to showcase your brand’s culture and values. For quirky observances like National Pizza Day or National Techie Day, get creative and relate them back to your brand. A fun Instagram story about how your team celebrates (or doesn’t celebrate) these quirky days can build a stronger connection with your audience.
For more serious observances like Earth Day, share how your company is contributing to environmental causes or community efforts. This gives your followers a peek into what your company stands for, strengthening your brand's identity and reputation.
Giveaways & contests: perfect for holidays
Who doesn’t love a good giveaway? Holidays provide the perfect excuse for engaging in contests or interactive giveaways. Whether it's a "caption this" contest with a holiday theme or a simple "like to enter" giveaway, these activities can spark excitement and drive traffic to your page. The key is to keep it relevant to the holiday and your audience’s interests.
Engaging content ideas: keep it fresh
The holidays are an ideal time to get creative. Share behind-the-scenes glimpses of your office decorations, your team’s holiday traditions, or even a funny holiday blooper. These little touches humanize your brand and foster deeper connections with your followers. Bonus points if you can tie it back to your product or service in a fun way!
Review & learn: analyze your holiday campaigns
Once the holiday season is over, it’s time to review your efforts. What posts got the most engagement? Which hashtags worked best? What types of campaigns were most effective? Take notes and start preparing for the next big holiday season with all the insights you’ve gathered. Data-driven decisions will help you optimize your strategy year after year.
From National Ice Cream Day to National Sandwich Day, holidays are full of opportunities to be creative, build your brand, and engage with your audience. So go ahead—get festive, have fun, and watch your brand grow!
