What to post in November 2019

content november 2019

Hang on…. How is it November already?!

October went a little like this:

  • Bake-off one-liners and ties are back on-trend.
  • We survived half-term (just).
  • Halloween treats eaten by the 25th
  • We gained an hour to waste procrastinating about whether to buy more Halloween treats or not.
  • Rugby featured heavily
  • It rained. A lot.

And (hopefully) you had a great month of sales.

Now it’s time to start planning your activity for what’s left of this year so that your followers and customers can engage with you, your brand and your product/service.

Great social media marketing results in ‘meaningful interactions’, so it’s essential to think about what will be interesting and relevant to YOUR audience. We also recommend mixing up your content, so that it’s a healthy mix of factual, funny, thought-provoking, product-led and personality-led. Try and make it easy to relate to and easy to digest.

Below you will find some key events/themes for November, some of which will inspire you for your social media marketing.

Just to be clear, we aren’t suggesting you use each and every one of these ideas.

a) because they won’t all be relevant to your audience

b) your social accounts will be saturated and your engagement rate will drop

c) you will have not time left to actually run your business.

Here we go!

Your Social Media Content Plan For October 2019

October problems:

  • Wet and warm so no coat feels right.
  • Trying to find the optimum moment to go for an Autumn walk before the freshly fallen crisp leaves turn to mulch.
  • Being prepared and looking up how to change the clock on the cooker for when the clocks change, only to realise you gave up in March and it will be right again.
  • Trying to think of stuff to post on your Facebook business page.

Sorry we can’t help with the first 3, but that last one on your list, consider it solved.

 

october content plan

Coming right up is a list of awareness days, holidays, hashtags that will be trending on specific days in October.

Sometimes it’s hard to think about what you could be posting so thinking beyond what is immediately in front of you and getting inspiration from what your audience might be thinking about is a great place to start.

We know some of these ideas are a bit left field and may not sit with your audience, your business or your industry, but we aren’t suggesting you do every single one of them. After all, it is about timeliness and being relevant and not about setting a new Facebook business page record for the most posts in a month!

So let’s get started!
