Social media is the best place for businesses to increase brand awareness and strengthen their community by showing support for relevant causes. The most effective social media strategies start with a content calendar that is built around trends but still stays focused on your overall goals.
Your social media strategy should be able to answer the following questions:
- Who are you trying to reach?
- What are you trying to communicate?
- What should your social media audience do next?
Staying on top of social media trends is already a tricky part of the job. Unfortunately, no one can always predict the next viral hit. Your social media strategy should be planned, but flexible enough to adapt to trends. Specific campaigns and social media holidays can and should be planned ahead of time — leaving some breathing room for spontaneous posts in between. We’ve compiled the ultimate summer social media holiday calendar to help your business make the most of your summer social media:
