Are you keen to stay consistent with your social media, but you sometimes struggle coming up with ideas? The important thing to remember about social media for your business, is that you need to be social. Selling at people all the time won’t work. It won’t grab attention or engage with your audience. Instead, you need to mix in some sales bits with the social side. Share who you are and about the people behind the business. This is how you can make your social media presence a success for your business.
Our social media marketers have put together these social media post ideas for May. You can use them as they are or use them to get your creative juices flowing. They are completely free of charge to use yourself. Or we can create and schedule the posts for you. They can be shared on your social media platforms when you are working on other areas of your business.
So, here are our social media post ideas for May that you can use for your business.
May is Get Caught Reading Month. Why not have photos of your team in different places around the business reading their favourite book? This will help show your team, behind the scenes of your business and the personality of your team too.
1st May is Hug Your Cat Day. We always sat that the internet was made for cats. If you or your team own a cat, then share a photo. Ask your audience to do the same too.
It’s also Loyalty Day on the 1st May too. Why not thank loyal customers, or share what you offer for client and customer loyalty? This is a great way of showing how much you appreciate your clients. It shows you have been around for a while, and it can encourage other clients to become loyal clients too.
May is also Mental Health Month. Why not share your top tips for managing mental health. You could encourage your audience to do the same too. Don’t make mental health a taboo subject. Be open and honest with tips and recommendations.
National Small Business Week falls between the 3rd and 9th May. Why not talk about your journey as a small business. You could share the local small businesses that you work with. Why not share how you help small businesses too, or small businesses that you recommend>
3rd – 9th May is also National Pet Week. Use this week as an opportunity to show off the pets in your business, owned by you and your team. Encourage your audience to do the same. Everyone loves seeing pet photos, so this is an easy win for engagement.
Receptionists Day falls on 13th May. Why not share a photo of your receptionist and share a little about them too. Your receptionist might be the face behind the emails and phone calls. So, why not let your customers see who they are communicating with?
