One of the easiest ways to fluff up your social media calendar is to post on holidays. You can find specific holidays to promote a chamber member (like promoting a deli on National Sandwich Day), post a fun picture of your staff celebrating, or sharing a resource to help others learn about the issue. I also like to track job-related holidays as a reminder to reach out or recognize specific members.
Here’s some November Holidays that I thought would be a good fit for chambers:
Days
- November 1 – Authors Day
- 1st Sunday – end Daylight Savings
- 1st Monday – Job Action Day
