A quick primer for success for your holiday content strategy

If you’ve never plotted out blog and social content like this before, here are a few tips:

  • Read this post on how to create an editorial calendar and what to include in your editorial calendar 
  • Pour yourself a glass of wine and block out a good amount of time to brainstorm. No distractions!
  • Pull out your marketing calendar and plan your promotions to complement it. Don’t have a marketing calendar? That’s ok too. The holidays give more than enough of an occasion to promote!
  • Make sure you know how to write the perfect blog post 
  • Don’t over plan. If you normally do one post per week, don’t suddenly aim for 5.
