October: Let's create and Plan Content Special Days


What are you planning for your October social media content? If you haven’t already planned out your content you can get started by looking at some of the special days for this month. It’s an especially fun month for creating fun ideas because Autumn has arrived and Halloween is coming up too.

If you are struggling for images, check out Unsplash - they offer a free and high quality database of images that you can literally do anything with. In terms of time saving, using tools like Canva, Design Wizard, Adobe Spark and Wordswag means you won’t have to wait a long time for creative because you can create images quickly using templated designs (Just add your brand fonts and colours). Use a content calendar such as ContentCal to schedule, plan and analyse content across multiple social networks.

Don’t forget to do your hashtag research using tools like Hashtagger to see what relevant hashtags are available for these days and topics.
