March 2020 Social Media Holidays & Content Ideas
It’s never too early to begin planning your social media content for the next month! In fact, depending on the platform, major businesses begin strategizing their contents 45-60 days in advance! That’s the best way to time your content up with the marketing wave around holidays and special events.
I’ve gathered the top marketing holidays for March 2020, and brainstormed post inspiration, to give you 31 social media posting caption ideas for the whole month.
March 2020
- Has it been a while? Reintroduce yourself or your company with a fun game of “two truths and a lie” or a carefree “would you rather” challenge to generate engagement.
- National Read Across America Day (Dr. Seuss Day!)
- Revisit your offers. Remember the average person needs exposure 7-10 times before they convert!
- Share a photo of your team. The faces behind the business make the business!
- Answer your most frequently asked questions. This is always a great place to turn when needing content direction.
- National Employee Appreciation Day #EmployeeAppreciation
- Be Heard Day – A day dedicated to the 145 million small businesses in America. Get your voice out there!
- March 8-14th is “Teen Tech Week.” Does this resonate with your business? Consider a week-long series of content.
- Take us behind the scenes. Do you record a podcast? Show us what that looks like! Do you make handcrafted bags? Instastory the process.
- Share a client win! Social proof is a great way to build your authority.
- Jump on a trend. Have you seen the trend of cross posing from Twitter to Instagram? It’ll save you time and brain cells to cross-post content.
- Regram from your community with some user-generated content. Make them feel valued.
- Share an action shot of you doing what you do. Stock images and quotes don’t sell, you do.
- National Pi Day – Whether you’re into “pi” or not, everyone is into “pie”!
- Use a trending hashtag like #ThrowbackThursday or #FlashbackFriday.
- Show off with a product post. After all, you’re on social media to sell. This is also a great time to use the “shop” tags on Instagram!
- St Patricks Day – Get fun with your content today. Have someone get “lucky” and offer a small giveaway!
- Go live! Uh oh, I said it. It’s never a bad idea to be real and spontaneous.
- Today is the 1st day of spring! Time for spring cleaning?
- Ask a question to your audience. But make sure you respond! Make everyone feel heard.
- World Poetry Day – Use the opportunity to grow your audience!
- Shoutout to a business or person you admire.
- National Puppy Day – A day we can all agree deserves to be celebrated.
- Is it possible to show a tutorial? Even if it’s for that special latte that gets you through the day, this is a good way to connect with your audience.
- Share an inspirational quote.
- Conduct an interview! Even if it’s with your mom, seeing a new face will grab the attention of your audience.
- National Joe Day – Thank a joe, or celebrate with the unofficial official drink of business owners… joe!
- Create and debut a special branded hashtag for your business!
- Encourage followers to tag a friend… This doesn’t have to be difficult, but give them a good reason to follow through on your CTA.
- Cover an event and be involved in the community, and then post about it!
- World Backup Day – Don’t be a fool, backup your data. 😉
