How can Sendible help you celebrate social media holidays

There are a few ways you can use Sendible to level up your festive social media strategy. Here are our personal favourites:

1. Use a built-in holiday calendar
2. Use queues to schedule repeating holiday posts
3. Utilise Smart Compose Box to optimise holiday content
4. Schedule holiday posts and ask for approvals in bulk
5. Organise and track holiday campaigns

1. Use a built-in holiday calendar

Indeed, the stunning calendar you saw on our webpage is now available in the form of expertly crafted, pre-scheduled posts. And yes, you got it right. Sendibe's calendar presents you with a delightful selection of over 300 pre-planned posts that you can schedule at your convenience.

2. Use queues to schedule repeating holiday posts

Forget about celebrating holidays just once a year! With social media holidays like Motivation Monday, Throwback Thursday, and Get to Know Your Customers Day, there's always something to celebrate on a weekly, monthly, or quarterly basis. And with Sendible's convenient Queues feature, you can easily schedule and organise your social media posts for these recurring holidays.

Say goodbye to inconsistency and hello to promoting evergreen content with ease.

3. Utilise Smart Compose Box to tailor holiday content to each social media platform

Why waste time jumping between Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X (Twitter), and TikTok to celebrate a holiday? With Sendible, you can do it all from one convenient place.

Simply select your channels, keep an eye out for alerts (Sendible will let you know if anything is missing or if your media is the wrong size), choose the best hashtags and you're good to go!

Additionally, you can leverage AI Assist to craft compelling captions, Optimal Times to maximise engagement, Custom Tags to bulk-personalise your posts, and a built-in link shortener to keep your copy streamlined and tidy.

4. Schedule holiday posts and ask for approvals in bulk

Creating a separate content pillar for holiday posts can be a game-changer, as it allows you to send the whole bunch for approval!

But instead of going through the hassle of using spreadsheets and manually uploading posts one by one, why not take advantage of Sendible's bulk feature? With this feature, you can upload all your posts at once and send them for approval, all from a single platform.

5. Organise and track holiday campaigns

Celebrating holidays on social media isn't just about filling up your content calendar; it’s about boosting engagement and driving ROI from your social channels. Instead of hopping from one platform to another to monitor progress and KPIs, Sendible allows you to streamline everything in one place.

By organising your social media posts into campaigns, you can track and validate your ROI effortlessly. Sendible’s comprehensive campaign reports provide you with valuable insights, enabling you to optimise your strategies and achieve even better results.

From National Dessert Day and National Pizza Day to the US Thanksgiving Day and National Boy Scouts Day, there are plenty of amazing reasons why marketers should get in on the action and support meaningful causes.

With the power of social media, it's easier than ever to connect directly with people and make a difference for your brand or your clients.
