Social Media Holidays have taken over our timelines. Each and every day has multiple “Holidays,” including “National Homemade Cookies Day,” “National Vodka Day,” “National I Love Lucy Day,” and many more. While the National Day Calendar gives us many eye roll-inducing holidays that are great for a quick laugh, they can be a goldmine for social media engagement and can give you a steady stream of content. A simple search for “fun holidays” yields countless social media holiday campaign ideas.
In this blog, I’ll take you through examples of how we cover trending social holidays with our Top Stories and how to use Wibbitz to create quick, professional, and easy-to-create content that will keep your audience engaged and coming back.
