There’s still time to organise your social media content.
The holidays are just 23 days away… wait what? Where did that year go? When it comes to social media content, any time is a great time to start. But, it’s about building consistent effect to make sure you are creating awareness to drive your goal (lead generation, increase sales, engage an audience).
Creating the ideas for visually appealing content is sometimes the toughest… so our clever little freckles are here to help.
Christmas graphic design idea #1– Use simple video to share your story
Video on social media is having a major moment right now. Instagram recently said in an Instagram Live feed, that video is "driving an immense amount of growth online for all major platforms"
On just about all social media platforms you would have noticed video content within the first 10 seconds of scrolling. This is because video content typically performs best with most algorithms, based on the fact it captures a viewer’s attention for longer, it has a longer shelf life and importantly, it appeals to a younger audience. Gen Z LOVE video and use YouTube as a primary entertainment source.
The takeaway: If you want to connect to your audience online, it's time to start creating video content.
There are plenty of simple templated video platforms to help you create content. If you’re still not sure, contact Tee Hogan for some expert tips. Go on, give it a go!
Christmas graphic design idea #2 – Festive rush
Quick there is still time to create your social media content. (see what we did there??)…
Catering to the instant needs of your customers, project or audience is a great opportunity for content during December. Last minute deals, still time to beat the rush, maybe it’s next day turn around.
Offering a free Christmas checklist is a great way to help your clients and customers turn down the stress levels. Here’s one we prepared earlier… <30 day content planner>.
Remember when you’re taking on all of this rushed, last-minute Christmas content marketing that you should always stay true to your brand and do right by your customers.
Christmas graphic design idea #3 – Make it all about the feels
Face it, it’s been a tough year. We are all looking to be entertained or connect in a caring sharing way.
We dare you to watch this ad from Apple and feel something… we aren’t crying you are…
But it’s easy to add a little bit of Christmas flare to your brand by adding elements to your visual assets. Here are a few ideas:
Temporarily update your logo with a Santa hat, bit of tinsel or holiday goodies
Do the same across your social media profiles to get most out of the holiday spirit.
You can also update your website, email marketing, print advertising, Christmas cards
Anywhere customers may be coming in contact with your brand is a great opportunity to tell them “Merry Christmas.”
