    5/17 –  National Pizza Party Day

    #NationalPizzaPartyDay. No reason is ever needed to have a pizza party, but just in case you need one, today’s your day!

    Three simple ideas to create engaging content for today:

    1. Order pizza for your team and share pictures or videos of them enjoying a slice. This would work perfectly for a LinkedIn post!
    2. Shoutout/tag the small business you ordered pizza from! 
    3. In the pizza biz? Create some videos of your pies in the process, from stretching/tossing the dough, to pizza peels sliding into/out of the oven, to a slow-motion of the pizza cutter. Make people crave your creation!

      Social media isn’t just for cat videos and vacation photos! It’s a powerful platform to showcase your company’s commitment to leadership development and inspire your audience. Here are three ways to leverage social media to cultivate a community of strong leaders:
      1. Celebrate Your Team’s Leadership Journey
      • #TeamLeadership Share the stories of your team members who’ve grown as leaders within your organization. Feature quotes about their experiences, alongside photos highlighting their achievements. Let everyone see the impact they’re making!
      1. Show How You’re Building Leaders Beyond the Office
      • #GrowingLeaders Go beyond your four walls and showcase your commitment to leadership development in the community. Share photos or videos from events you sponsor, like a local youth leadership program, or workshops you host on leadership skills. Show how you’re making a positive difference!
      1. Bite-Sized Leadership Inspiration
      • We all crave quick bursts of knowledge and motivation. Create eye-catching graphics or short videos with practical leadership tips, inspiring quotes, or insightful ideas that resonate with your audience. These bite-sized pieces of wisdom can spark something great in your followers!

      By implementing these strategies, you can use your social media channels as inspiration for leadership development. Celebrate your team’s achievements, inspire your followers, and establish your company as a leader in fostering leadership skills.

        Your April 2024 Content Ideas Are Here!

        We’re back with your April 2024 content ideas! From baking to having fun at work to celebrating all things “small business,” we’ve got you covered.

        Daily Themes

        4/1 – Fun at Work Day
        4/1 – Greeting Card Day

          Sourdough Bread Day

          4/1 – Sourdough Bread Day

          If your business has anything at all to do with baking or food, there’s a good chance that you can easily use Sourdough Bread Day in your marketing efforts. But let’s get creative and think outside the box. Consider sharing your personal journey with sourdough and drawing parallels to a process in your business. Highlight the importance of patience required to complete a task and the similarity to the time it takes for sourdough to ferment, or discuss how using specialized equipment can make a difference in the outcome of a project. Regardless of the marketing message you create, be sure to include a pic of your bread for engagement.

          4/2 – DIY Day
          4/3 – Chocolate Mousse Day
          4/3 – Inspiring Joy Day
          4/5 – Gold Star Spouses Day

            Self-Care Day

            4/5 – Self-Care Day

            For businesses offering self-care products or services,  share blog posts, videos, or infographics about the importance of self-care, highlighting how your products or services specifically contribute to mental and physical well-being.  You can also offer special discounts, or organize giveaways, to celebrate Self-Care Day. This not only incentivizes purchases but also highlights your commitment to promoting well-being.

            Not in the self-care sector, that’s okay.  Ask  your employees/team members “What does self-care mean to you?” (or something similar) and use their feedback to create content.

                Small Business Week

                April 28th-May 4th: Small Business Week

                Use Small Business Week as an opportunity to celebrate, promote, and engage with your audience in a way that encourages the support of small business and strengthens local economies. A few ideas on how to incorporate Small Business Week in your marketing:

                1. Promote a special offer: exclusive discounts or promotions during Small Business Week to entice customers to shop locally.
                2. Partner with other small businesses in your area to cross-promote each other’s products or services.
                3. Share behind-the-scenes photos or videos on social media, highlighting the people, processes, and passion behind your products or services. This can really humanize your brand and build a stronger connection with your audience, something that the giant brands can’t do as well as small businesses.
                4. Express gratitude by thanking your customers for their support and loyalty and to emphasize the impact their patronage has on your small business and the community as a whole.

                          3/11 – Debunking Day

                          Debunking Day is easy to wrap into just about any industry. What better way to create engaging posts than busting myths in your industry?! Here are some ideas. For our esthetician client, we bust the myth that sleeping in your makeup just once in a while is fine, or that exfoliating in the winter will dry out your skin. For our financial planner client we routinely bust life insurance myths. You get the idea–educate your audience and position yourself as the subject matter expert you are! And quite honestly, you can use this concept regularly, not just on Debunking Day!

                            3/8 – Proofreading Day

                            This may sound counterintuitive, but did you know that one of the easiest ways to get people talking about your content is to have a grammatical error? It’s true! The Grammar Police love to take to the Internet when a word is misspelled or the wrong word is used, or punctuation is incorrect. Or course, intentionally using grammatical errors to garner attention may not align with your brand. In that case, WordHippo and Grammarly can help.

                            3/12 – Equal Pay Day
                            3/12 – Organize Your Home Office Day
                              Plant a Flower Day

                              3/12 – Plant a Flower Day

                              Plant a Flower Day is another theme that can be used across industries when approached properly. In the Health and Wellness field? Create content around the idea of growth and nurturing self similarly to the way one would care for a garden. How about those in the fashion industry: engage your followers by encouraging them to share selfies of them wearing your floral designs. Ask them to tag you in their posts and you can then share those posts to your stories. All brands should be seeking user generated content (UGC) whenever possible to increase their reach.

Through later folk traditions, it has also become a significant cultural, religious and commercial celebration of romance and love in many regions of the world.

                                      Love Month

                                      And while many in today’s world don’t recognize or celebrate Valentines’ Day, suffice to say that there’s more than one way to celebrate LOVE without ever mentioning the day. Here’s some ideas and concepts to consider for your marketing campaigns all month long.

                                      1. We love our customers. Not just on February 14th, but all year long. One way we show this love is through our rewards programs.” Then share about your rewards programs.
                                      2. Run a month-long initiative of sharing your client’s posts and stories to YOUR Instagram stories. Be sure to add heart stickers and love-related emojis!
                                      3. Get active in your local community! Spotlight your staff/team dropping off flowers or baked goods at the nursing home (or whatever local organization you support).

                                      Love Your Pet Day (2/17)

                                      This is a no-brainer. Everyone wants to spotlight their beloved pets, whether they’re the office cat/dog or not! Excellent way to get some extra eyeballs on your content. Video or photos work well for this.

                                      Digital Learning Day (2/29)

                                      Let’s get creative: while this day is theoretically about K-12 learning, many of us attend webinars for ongoing education and professional development. Snap a pic of the webinar speaker, or even better, a selfie of you in front of the computer monitor (virtually with the instructor) and share a tidbit of what you’ve learned and how it will improve your skills!
