National Days Everyone Should Be Posting About
November 18, 2018
National Friendship Day. National Dog Day. National Spaghetti Day. National Talk Like A Pirate Day.
We see these 'National Days' all-over social media, everywhere we look. It seems like they are happening every day and it seems there is at LEAST one National Dog Day every six months. While all the days can be quite overwhelming to keep track of, they are such a good marketing opportunity for your business or practice.
As I am sure we are all aware, posting consistently to all of your difference social media platforms is vital in this day and age. This being said, you should always be thinking of excuses to post engaging content. And do you know what people love? A national holiday.
Posts regarding these kinds of national days excite your followers because they warrant a response, especially when they pose a question at the end of the post. For example, when posting about National Adopt A Shelter Pet Day (April 30th), you could ask your followers to share their very own pet adoption stories! Your followers love talking about themselves and this is a great way to get them talking!
I know what you are thinking, how are you ever going to have time to post about these holidays and post premium content to your pages every day? No worries. Schedule a demo with Hyperchat Social today to Turn Social Into Sales.
