Additional ideas build a personal connection with your audience in December:
- Do you have a family tradition that you do every year? Snap some photos and share!
- What Christmas movies have you watched so far this year? Share your favorites and ask your audience to do the same.
- Share your favorite ornament on the tree and why! Ask your audience if they have a favorite ornament.
- Share what you’re making for Christmas treats, crafts with the kids, etc.
- Is your team getting into the holiday spirit? Share how you celebrate the holidays with your peers and reflect on 2021.
My biggest piece of advice around holidays like this: Only share about them on social media if you have a personal tie to them. Resist posting stock photos and general messages like “Merry Christmas” that will likely get lost in the feed. To truly stand out on social media and create brand recognition, you want to make sure you stay personal and relatable with your audience.
