Tips for Planning & Repurposing Content

Balancing holiday memories with business needs can be challenging. Here are 5 tips to streamline your December social media content process:

  1. Pre-plan as many posts as your schedule allows – draft captions ahead of time so you only need to design graphics or hit “publish”.
  2. Schedule evergreen content to auto-post during slower weeks. This curated content still offers value for your audience.
  3. Create a few easy-to-replicate post templates to quickly reuse on multiple platforms.
  4. Repurpose old content! Revamp an outdated blog post or refresh past social graphics.
  5. Set reminders to go live or engage daily. Don’t let pre-planning stop real connections!

The new year is all about starting fresh. Spend December setting yourself up for social media success in the new year!
