Your Guide to Social Media Holidays

Home » BizBlog » Your Guide to Social Media Holidays
June 8, 2020 by Vlad M.

It’s no secret that hashtags have many positive uses beyond regular keyword engagement.

When it comes to celebratory hashtags, the list of opportunity is never-ending. Think beyond #DigitalMarketing to get interactions, and start thinking about things like #NationalPizzaDay or #NationalThankYouNoteDay.

It’s worth it. We promise.

How Do Silly Internet Holidays Help Your Business?

The first rule of a national holiday is to never underestimate it – especially in terms of digital marketing.

The second rule is to celebrate it.

Quirky holidays can be used for both external marketing purposes as well as internal purposes. Treating your company to a pizza party for National Pizza Day (February 9th), and presenting it on social media with the use of hashtags is a win-win.

Let’s face the facts; everyone loves pizza – even just through the views on a computer or smartphone screen.

We’re not saying that these hashtags automatically guarantee business or leads. But the exposure speaks for itself.

How Specific Are These Holidays We Speak Of?

Holidays are never in short supply. When you find a great one that caters to your brand, it can even become less about promoting it for exposure, and more about promoting it for an offer or promotion.

For example, National Fried Chicken Day is low hanging fruit for certain fast food restaurants.

So How Do I Keep Track Of These Holidays?

We recommend keeping a year-long calendar of holidays and events like these, that could be useful for your company.

Not only will this aid in planning celebrations around the office; it can also be used to fill in the gaps of your content plans – especially since quirky holidays give you the freedom to create fun graphics, videos, and more to share on social media.
