Bite Size Pieces
As long as you stay on top of your upcoming events and promotions by focusing only on one quarter, or time frame at a time, you’ll remain prepared. This is crucial in avoiding getting overwhelmed. Within your selected time-period, identify any upcoming dates, that are important for your business and your customers and begin to create a schedule that include these posts. Don’t forget about any national holidays, local events, or industry milestones coming up.
After you’ve created the more easy to tackle content it’s best to create social content for time sensitive posts. Time sensitive social can include posts promoting a sale, or deadline, or anything that your followers need to be made aware of sooner rather than later. Once you’ve done this, have fun and schedule and post content that you feel inspires yourself and your customers.
The Benefits of Bulk Scheduling
Like we mentioned, using a tool, like Sendible, allows you to schedule out posts days, weeks and months into the future. If you have repeating events or promotions each week, you’re able to set repeat posts, so you don’t have to be burdened with posting or scheduling the same content weekly.
Be Open and Ready for Change
We all know things can change, and you have to make sure your social stays up to date to reflect your business properly. If inspiration for creative social content comes to you in the middle of the work day, post it. It’s your brand, and your social media channels to manage. No one understands your business better than you so when it comes to your social media management, remember to have confidence, rely on social media tools for assistance, and have fun!
