Hello Sunshine! Hello Summer! This month is glowing with July social media content ideas. Summer is synonymous with sunkissed days and cool nights, grillin’ & chillin’, and ice cream smiles. And now that everyone is on mobile, they will be scrolling all summer long. As a business, your priority is to keep them engaged with refreshing images and eye-popping gifs.

The month begins on a high note with national holidays like Canada Day and Independence Day – your followers are online expecting blowout sales and fun activities. It doesn’t stop there. With more of your customers either out of school or taking vacations, there will be more eyes on your social media platforms. We’re here to make sure your Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn, and Twitter are blazing hot with summertime content ideas.

Here’s what to expect in this post:

Welcome July 2022

July is the stand-alone month where every day is dedicated to our magical Summer. Fill up your social media content calendar with photos of your products displayed in summertime settings. Do you have a brick and mortar store? Rally your employees to dress up in tropical gear and post it online. We all know your customers love it when you get personal with them! Encourage health with outdoor wellness tips and nutritional recipes. Keep them accountable by asking them about their progress. We promise you that your followers are online and always on the hunt for new information and new sales to satisfy their summer high.

Hello July Pics & Quotes

We’re all about custom-made templates here at PromoRepublic. We will always encourage you to focus on branding but general posts also generate high engagement. Stirring up positive emotions is a great way to entice them to buy your product or service. Share the July love with Hello July pics and quotes.

July 2022 Daily Holidays

If you are already a user of the PromoRepublic social media content calendar, well then you know our calendar is abundant with holidays. There are no more excuses for empty days on social because we have a holiday for you, each and every day. Get ready to rock your Summer Social life right here and now:

Week 1:

Canada Day

Honoring our neighbors is the right thing to do since many of them are also our customers. Display the red and white today. Celebrate their NBA victory! Celebrate them for being loyal customers! Celebrate them for being too nice! Tell them, “Sorry” just for the fun of it! It makes perfect business sense to revel in their day, especially if they’re buying your products and services.

International Plastic Bag-Free Day

As a business, your customers look to you for leadership. And with the state of our environment and climate change, we need to set the example. Perhaps, the plastic-bag free day could become a more permanent solution. Or at least an educational day for you and your followers.

Independence Day

Show off your National pride today with red, white and blue social media posts. Roll out the spectacular sales all weekend long. Remind your followers to honor this American holiday with full-blown patriotism because we are grateful for our freedom. An increase in engagement will be had today, we guarantee you this!

National Country Music Day

If you’re born in the U.S.A., then you probably love country music. Maybe not all of you, but we’re pretty sure you love at least one song! Jolene? Country Roads? Get the conversation going on Facebook or Instagram – ask them which is their all-time favorite song or artist.

Workaholics Day

Reward those employees that came into work early today (ahem..the day after Independence Day celebrations). They definitely deserve to be honored – such dedication and loyalty. This is a wonderful day to show your employees some appreciation (it’s Friday, after all!).

National Bikini Day

There are so many content ideas for this sun-sational day! If you’re a fashion retailer, it’s all about promotions today. Do you own a spa? If they wear a bikini (and sunscreen, of course) – 10% off! Today is an ideal holiday to educate them on being responsible for their skin with the benefits of sunscreen.

World Kissing Day

Shower your followers with kisses and love today! Literally – if you have a shop or even an online store, with every purchase reward them with a Hershey’s Kiss or lip-shaped candy! Blow them kisses as a way to say thank you! You’re a dentist? Then encourage good breath today with tips and tricks.

Happy Birthday Dalai Lama

84 years old and still ticking! His Holiness’ mission is bringing peace to this world. There still seems a long way to go but there has been some change and that’s all we can ask for. For those with wellness and yoga businesses, today is your day to share his quotes and teachings for inspiration.

World Chocolate Day

For the love of everything chocolate, we hope you feast today! Sprinkle all your Happy Chocolate Day images and quotes on your social media platforms. We don’t need to tell you almost everyone loves chocolate so go on and post your favorite chocolate pics for this chocolate day. Slather on the chocolate emojis and banners on your pictures.

Do you own a bakery, café or restaurant? Chocolate is the star of the show today – why not feature it in promotions or giveaways. Are you a massage therapist or aromatherapist? The use of chocolate in natural remedies is a thing, so share the benefits. Are you a nutritionist or fitness trainer? Dark chocolate is healthy so educate your followers. You can take this day and every holiday as ‘outside the box’ as you wish. As a psychologist, you can emphasize on the triggers of chocolate in our daily lives.

There is no shortage of ideas when it comes to this holiday – just remember to make it relevant to your business or brand.

National Father-Daughter Take a Walk Day

Encouraging quality time between any parent and child is always a good thing. If you’re a business owner, we suggest organizing a picnic day with the father’s and their kids (son or daughter). It’s a delightful way to bring together camaraderie with the employees and establish a positive work environment. We call it a win-win day!

Week 2

Video Games Day

Did you know that a game called ‘Computer Space’ was the first video game ever? Pong came out one year later in 1972. With the thousands of games out there, try asking your followers what their fave game is or was. Get some insight on their likes and interests – let’s call it free marketing research.

Andy Warhol’s Campbell Soup Made Debut 1962

Are your fans pop-art enthusiasts? Yes. No. It doesn’t matter, this piece of art started a movement from one man’s love of soup. Do what you may with this holiday but we’d love to see you take it up a notch. If you carry products – try lining them up in a grid as Andy Warhol did – just for fun and also to showcase your merchandise in a colorful way. Embrace the artsy spirit and watch your sales rise!

Happy Birthday Nikola Tesla

Fun Fact: Tesla motors was in fact named after this Serbian-American inventor. Why? He invented the first AC motor and developed AC generation and transmission technology. So, yes, he’s a big deal for the automobile industry. To all the mechanics, car dealerships and engineers – this post is very relevant to your business.

National Piña Colada Day

Nothing says vacation like this summertime guilty pleasure! If you are a bar/restaurant or smoothie joint – we know which one is your superstar drink of the day! Let’s step ‘outside the box’ again – if you’re a retailer, we all know pineapples are a big trend this year. Why not promote your pineapple clothing, accessories, pillows and dinnerware?

World Population Day

Our population clocks in at 7.7 billion people. Should we be worried? Overpopulation is a global problem and yes, we should be raising awareness on this subject. If you’re in the medical field, share the health stats and how-to’s on improving mind, body, and soul.

All American Pet Photo Day

Reach out to your ‘animal lover’ fans out there. We assume dog and cat owners but you’d be surprised by the number of pigs, bunnies, hamsters, ferrets, and even horses people have. Share the fun facts about these wonderful animals. If you’re a pet store, encourage your followers to take a pic with their fave fuzzy animal. If you sell fuzzy bunny slippers – ask them to upload those pics too!

Collector Car Appreciation Day

Engage with your car and truck fans. They may not have collector cars in their possession but they probably appreciate them. Encourage comments by asking questions on their favorite old cars? Childhood or adulthood memories? If you have a gift store then promote all that is in store with cars on them. Take advantage of these holidays to create offers and discounts. Anything helps in the slower months of summer.

National Different Colored Eyes Day

This is a no-brainer post for all optometrists or eyeglass shops. But because we, at PromoRepublic, like to do things differently we were thinking why not use this post as a way to bring up diversity. Being different can mean, ‘cool’ and ‘special’ or just normal. Encourage your followers to post a pic of themselves. Or to talk about what makes them feel different.

National Simplicity Day

July is the month we are given the opportunity to slow down and reflect on our careers and personal lives. Post how-to and tips and tricks templates on decluttering their life or creating a time in the day for me-time. Help them find simplicity with simple tasks. Promote your products and services at the same time.

National Motorcycle Day

Summer is a time when many hit the road in cars, buses, trains, and motorcycles. We’re not going to lie – it’s also a time with a rise in road accidents. Sure, if you own a motorcycle shop – post a beautiful motorcycle but we’d also encourage some safety tips too. These are highly regarded templates because it shows the customer that you care about their well-being.

International Rock Day

Attention all Jewellers and Spiritual Healers – today is your day to highlight the powers of rocks. Diamonds are rocks – did you know that? Why not try a campaign revolving around the engagement ring – “Put a rock on it.” As healers or wellness practitioners, rocks play a vital role in your readings and sessions – educating your customers on some of the healing properties is a win whichever way you look at it.

Shark Awareness Day

Did you know that each year, close to 100 million sharks are killed for their fins? Today is an important day to help save our sharks because they are a vital part of our marine life. They have a bad rap and that’s no thanks to Hollywood (Jaws). Find local environmental groups and partner up with them – show your customers you love them sharks.

Week 3

National Nude Day

So as a business, we don’t recommend posting any nudes. Instead, if you are a fashion retailer – promote your nude pumps, nude colored clothes. If you’re in the beauty industry – try highlighting clean makeup looks today. If you are an organic farmer or restaurant – offer ‘au naturel’ dishes with less sauce and spices. There are so many ways to paint your social media “nude”!

National Give Something Away Day

You can very well encourage your customers to take part in this gesture but maybe leading by example is a good first step. Go and give something away today – a free cupcake or ice cream, fitness session, piece of clothing, drink… You get the picture? Spread kindness.

National I Love Horses Day

It’s rare to find someone who doesn’t love this animal. They’re beautiful, graceful and kind. Share the love on social media. If unicorns are your thing – squeeze this in (even though, technically we don’t know what a unicorn is). The beauty of social media is that you can recreate holidays as you wish as a business so that it stays true to your brand.

National Full Moon Day

The Full Moon in July is the Buck Moon, named after the new antlers that emerge from buck’s foreheads around this time of the year. It is also called Thunder Moon. The Age of Aquarius has its perks – people are more in tune with astrology and with their spirituality. Put together posts on how the moon and planets affect your shopping habits. Make them educational and fun to read.

First Instagram Photo

Back in 2010, the first photo uploaded to Instagram was a dog. There are 1 billion users on IG right now. It’s such a powerful marketing tool with 83% of Instagrammers saying they discover new products and services on Instagram alone. Show your customers your first IG photo. Interact with them and ask them to hashtag their first pic for a discount.

World Emoji Day

If you’re not using emojis in your social media strategies, NOW is the time to start. Everyone from your kids to your grandma’s are using emojis. It’s not going away and it’s a fun way to boost your brand. Make it more ‘emotional’. These are the new emotions of 2022 – we have to join them or get lost in the past. And c’ mon: emojis are fun! ????????????????????

Comic Con International Day

With so many releases this year like Game of Thrones and all the Marvel movies, this weekend is surely going to be a feast for all the comic con fans. There are so many followers, it would be in your best interest to post about this day. Focus in on one of your favorite characters and engage with them about theirs. For sure, there will be a discussion (especially after the last GOT season) and that’s all you really want as a business, right?

Happy Birthday Richard Branson

Why does he get a special post? Because he’s the crazy billionaire that gives practical advice to us all on following our passions and living our best life. And everyone just eats it up! He is quite inspiring so go on and share one of his quotes or better yet, his accomplishments. He’s a good businessman to try to emulate.

National Hot Dog Day

Fire up the grill on social media and if you have the means to do it as a business, by all means, go for it! Free hot dogs all day to your customers will always be a welcome gesture. Make some money by selling at retro prices. Whatever you do, this national fave will surely attract old and new customers. If you’re a vegan restaurant – you can get in on the action with tofu dogs!

National Lollipop Day

Maybe not a favorite holiday for dentists. But what if you posted on this day by giving your patients a free pass just today. No one would be surprised at a post stating the bad side effects of sugar! On the other end of the spectrum, lollipops usually make people trigger happy memories – so free lollipops for all is a nice way to say “thank you.” And look at the win-win here, you’re giving more business to your local dentist!!! ????

Week 4

National Hammock Day

With the sweltering heat of summer, people are looking for ideas to cool off. Did you know swinging in a hammock in the shade can actually bring down your body temperature? It can also help you relax. Are you an author or blogger? Go on and encourage your fans to read in a comfortable place.

National Vanilla Ice Cream Day

To this day, with all the many flavors available to us, Vanilla ice cream is still number 1. Let’s celebrate it by eating it all day long. If you’re a nutritionist or wellness coach, there are healthy recipes, so please share them with your followers. With smoothies still a thing and ice cream floats on the rise, post your fave pics. And no need to be a business that serves ice cream because almost everyone indulges in this favorite dessert.

Happy Tequila Day

When we say “Tequila!” it’s normal to remember (or not) a wild night out! But did you know that tequila (in small doses) is loaded with health benefits? It can aid in weight loss. It helps fight dementia. It aids digestion. It’s probiotic. It’s a cold-buster. It’s a given that if you are a bar, free shots are on the menu tonight, right? If you are any other business, these facts are indeed worth sharing.

Happy Birthday Matt Leblanc

Friends has become one of the top viewed shows on Netflix. It would be fair to assume that many will recognize Joeyyyyyyy. Kudos to this show for lasting as long as it has – even in the reruns.

All or Nothing Day

This is a clever way to show your followers how far you would go for them. How much of a discount would you do for them? You could say 100% off on an item that you would have given for free. They wouldn’t know and this would make them feel extra special. An extra-special client is a returning customer!

National Gorgeous Grandma Day

More and more women are embracing their age and flaunting it too! We recommend you ask these grannies to post pics of themselves on Facebook or Instagram, hashtagging your business of course. Don’t worry, they are internet savvy and if they are not, they are resourceful – they have grandkids to help them out.

Plaster ‘Happy Grandma Day’ images all over your social networks. Treat them to hefty discounts and VIP events. We spend so much energy on Mother’s Day and Father’s Day when grandmothers are the ones responsible for whipping these two into shape!

Another effective way to honor these ladies is by posting Grandma Day quotes – they will love being celebrated with words of intellect and kindness. Whatever you do – make sure it’s relevant to your business. Retired means they have money and time on their hands, it’s best to reach out to this target audience with wit and candor.

Dance Day

Summer is usually a very active few months so encouraging your followers to get up and dance won’t be so difficult. This is for the dance studios, choreographers, fitness trainers – do your best today by posting dance moves or promotions for new members or ask them to post best video clips of them dancing! The goal of the day is to get your fans movin’ and groovin.

Paperback Book Day

For all those born before the 21st Century, you will know what we are talking about! This day is for all the bibliophiles who love to read actual books! By the way, they are still printing books even today. Authors, rejoice! Your words will still get printed on paper delighting the old school folks.

When we said that July was overflowing with blazing, summer content – we were not joking! Now you are fully equipped with all the holidays for July 2022. There is a full array of templates from educational to motivational to entertaining. Pick and choose as you go – there are many more in our library. As usual, we will always recommend following your branding guidelines and make sure the post is relevant to your business. If you read this blog post, then you are aware of the creative ways you can design the posts to suit your business. Feel free to use all the ideas!

Is your business on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest and LinkedIn? Did you know that as a PromoRepublic user, you could simultaneously post on all these channels at once? Go ahead and click on any one of these holidays and post it directly onto the platform of your choice.

We also have an analytics tool to help you follow the engagement per post. So sit back and watch your social media calendar for July blow up all your channels!

Are you ready to harvest in a new crop of social media templates? As we say farewell to Summer, we usher in a new season ablaze with color. With shorter days and longer nights, your customers will start winding down. Our September social media calendar is jam-packed with templates in seasonal and earthy hues. Ease them into the cooler days by posting motivational quotes or tips and tricks. Give them the opportunity to reflect on the beauty of this season with promotions. This is the right time to start piling on layers of September content ideas for social media.

September starts off on a good foot as we kick it off with Labor Day and the NFL Football season. First, we celebrate with parades and parties and then we hunker down to watch our favorite teams. By the third week of the month, we launch into the official season of Fall. The social media topics are plentiful for September.

Let’s begin with a quick overview of what to expect:

Hello September Images

Come September, there is a moment when your customer will be saddened as Summer fades away. Our duty as marketers and businesses is to re-energize them with vibrant images and transformative post ideas. This month is about renewal: the changes in our wardrobe, our daily habits, our bodies, our mindsets. With the right social media plan, you can easily target your audience and boost conversion rates too. Rally your followers by engaging with them on their favorite platforms. To incite enthusiasm for this new season, plaster hello September images all over your Facebook and Instagram.

Connect with your clients by asking them to write down their favorite memories thus far.
Comment on their pictures for September. Personal attention goes a long way in customer loyalty.

Ask them why they love September. This simple question can get you and your business a deeper insight into your customer’s likes and dislikes.

Prompting smiles and happiness from your followers is also paramount in your social media strategy.

September monthly images

Social Media is an effective tool in representing your brand and showcasing your products/services but we should not overlook the impact that it has as well. These days, promoting your business is not only selling to your audience – it’s also connecting with them.

If raising awareness about mental health issues, for example, can help some of your followers then it’s a win for your brand.

Get them ready with how-to’s on dealing with Mother Nature’s wrath – you never know what she will have in store for your customers.

Share self-improvement tips. Lord knows we all need some help from time to time! And your customer will appreciate the pointers.

Imagine the convenience of having all types of post ideas in one stand-alone social media calendar. Click here for general templates that relate to your business: https://app.promorepublic.com/#/templates

September social media holidays

Leaf your worries behind! We have a social media topic for every day of the month. You can schedule a post every day but if there is no context or relevance to your brand, your savvy customer will know. So we’re here to give you recommendations on how to post them in a clever and shareable way. Let’s jump right into all the September social media events, shall we?

Labor day

Of all the social media holidays in September, this is by far the most lucrative one. With parties, bbq’s and getaways to plan on this long weekend, they are looking for deals!

This is an opportune time for businesses to liquidate their Summer stock.

Go ahead and post Labor Day templates weeks before with cool party themes and fun recipes to get them ready to shop at your store!

Wish the best day ever! No promos today. No reminders of work today. Their happiness is your happiness.

NFL football season begins

Football is not just a game, it has surpassed baseball as America’s new favorite pastime. And on top of that, it also generates heaps of profits for small businesses and restaurants. If you market your brand well enough, you can attract its very loyal fans. Local businesses with teams in their cities can reap the rewards by becoming “the viewing bar” or creating deals tied to each game. Don’t miss the chance of encouraging your local team nor their fans.


Own a restaurant or bar? Invite your customers to a kick-off party. We recommend lots of beer and snacks!

Grandparents day

Mothers and Fathers get their own days, it’s only fair the two people who gave birth to them get their own day too! After all, we all know most grandparents work sometimes harder than their children as they still labor over their stoves for both kids and grandchildren. And as far as we’re concerned, they are the hardest working babysitters around. Give praise to them. Offer them a discount on your product or service. Open up the conversation and let your followers write their gratitude.

Share the love on Facebook, because they deserve it!

9/11 remembrance day

For some of us, it feels like yesterday when we got the call to turn the TV on. And as we watched every disparaging moment unravel on air, we became stronger as a nation. We will never encourage posting promotional templates on this day but you are free to do as you please.

Today is a day to remember the fallen heroes.


We highly recommend sharing templates laced with American pride.

It’s also a good day to remind your customers that there is hope for the future.

International peace day

Share some interesting facts to your followers today about this glorious day. Did you know that there is a moment of silence at 12 noon, around the world? Encourage your fans to fall silent at this time. Stretch your kindness even further by offering them a deal on everything white in the store if you are a fashion or home decor shop. Get the word out by hosting a Peace Event in your online shop or on Instagram.

Get creative! After all, don’t we all want world peace?

First day of fall

A new season brings a list of changes to our diet and lifestyle. Lucky for you, Fall lasts three months so you have plenty of time to post educational and engaging posts to inspire your followers.

This template can be relevant to all industries. Be clever. Be witty. Do you have a jewelry store? Encourage your customers to fall in love again with a ring or pendant. Are you a wellness coach? Give your customers the tools to fall in love with themselves again.

Revitalize their food intake with delightful Fall fruits and veggies. Go on and share some recipes or create some fun fact templates on PromoRepublic to share with them.

Yes. Consumers still love sharing and commenting on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Why not give them the open forum to do so – it’s free marketing research for your business.

Raising awareness

Being on social media allows us to keep our finger on the pulse with all the social injustice, global health crisis, environmental changes, and wildlife extinction. As a business owner, we guarantee your followers will approve of any stand you take for or against any issue concerning their well-being.

September 4 is National Wildlife Day. So many animals are going extinct because of climate change. If every business donates 1$ from every purchase – we could start seeing some changes.

September 13 is Stand Up To Cancer Day. Unfortunately, too many people we know have suffered with cancer. Today celebrate the ones who have survived the battle. Praise them and give them a discount or a freebie.

September 15 is Greenpeace Day. Their main goals are climate change, deforestation, overfishing, commercial whaling, genetic engineering, and anti-nuclear issues. Encourage your customers to donate or volunteer.

September 22 is Car Free Day. For every customer who shows up with a bike helmet, bus pass, or walking shoes – give them a free coffee or tea. Nothing changes IF nothing changes.

September 18-24 is Pollution Prevention Week. Share your knowledge and gain new followers. Share interesting stats like this: Did you know Americans buy 29 million bottles of water each year, but only 13% of the bottles end up being recycled?

September 29 is World Day of Migrants and Refugees. For everyone living in North America & Australia, we were all immigrants at one point in our lives. If not us, then someone in our lineage. Give your followers the forum by celebrating someone near and dear to them.

Foodie alert

Food and drink social media templates are not only for restaurants, bars and bakeries. Many industries can benefit from these post ideas like fitness trainers, wellness gurus, and even life coaches. Your followers eat food every day so they have an emotional connection, whether they admit to it or not. Use these posts to your advantage.

September 13 is National Chocolate Day. Today is an easy day for engagement. Go on and ask the fundamental question – How does chocolate make you feel? Get ready for the comments!

September 15 is National Double Cheeseburger Day. If you own a restaurant, we dare you to give this double whammy for FREE today. Imagine all the repeat customers.

September 20 is National Pepperoni Pizza Day. You own a small business and can’t give out free pizza all day, we get it. Why not do it for one hour? Lineups can be free advertising, by the way!

September 21-Oct 6 is OKTOBERFEST. It’s all about beer and sausages so go on promote the heck out of these. You have 2 weeks to get your customers to join in on the festivities.

September 28 is National Beer Day. This is an obvious template for all the restaurants and bars. Brighten up your beer fans by beer emoji’ing them – one beer emoji, one free beer.

Who are you calling a geek?

Nowadays, these “geeks” are self-made millionaires. So, no one is looking down on them, that’s for sure. They do have their own subculture and if you are in an industry that caters to this community, there is fun to be had.

September 8 is International Star Trek Day. Decipher who the true fan is by the way they answer the question.

September 12 is National Video Games Day. Video games are still going strong. Granted, the games of yore are incomparable to the games of today. Still, die-hard gamers can recognize the difference and still respect it.

September 17 is National IT Professionals Day. Share the love with your favorite IT guys and gals. Welcome them online or in your shop by giving them a discount on products unrelated to their field.

September 24 is National Comic Book Day. Go on and ask which comic book hero is their favorite? Engage with them. Incentivize them with deals and freebies.

Attention shoppers

You have an online shop and need to spruce it up with non-generic Fall ideas? PromoRepublic can help with “outside the box” social media post ideas.

September 7 is National Clean Out Your Garage Day. Do you own a thrift shop or second-hand store? Encourage your customers to clean out their closets and exchange their goodies with you. Do you own an online store? Inspire them to get a new wardrobe. Out with the old, in with the new.

September 13 is Bald is Beautiful Day. The only way they are this beautiful is because of their local barbershops. There are many men afraid to go bald, so make it a cool trip by creating a fun package deal.

September 16 is National Tattoo Story Day. Everyone seems to have a tattoo these days, so let’s hear from them. Start with a story of your own and let it domino-effect from there.

Random fundom

Random events can ignite your social media planning and create an everlasting spark. You know your customers by now and you understand their humor, so let’s have some fun!

September 6 is National Lazy Mom’s Day. We are starting the month right by honoring the woman who gave you your customers. Treat them right by offering a “lazy” promotion today. They don’t have to lift a finger – well maybe just one click for a free gift.

September 6 is Fight Procrastination Day. Even as business owners, you can relate to this post. Be relatable and share a story or two on how you procrastinated your way into owning a business.

September 6 is National Read a Book Day. Appeal to all the book lovers (and trust us there are many!) – ask them what their all-time favorite novel is and why in 5 words.

September 19 is the First Emoticon Day. This is an easy engaging post. Ask your followers to post their favorite emoji. Expect to find a colorful and animated page!

September 22 is 100 Days Left in the Year. If you sell high priced items, we recommend offering a $100 savings to your loyal customers. You can also give them 100 points or 100 stars or 100 smiley faces. Be creative.

September 27 is Google’s Birthday. What and where would we be without this amazing search engine. Share the love!

September 30 is National Chewing Gum Day. Appeal to the nostalgic followers who actually chewed bubble gum and were well-versed in the art of making the perfect bubble. Ask them to take a pic or video of their bubble-making skills. All in fun, of course!

We feel confident leaving you with all these Social Media topics for September. As a PromoRepublic user, you can go ahead and launch your social media plan for September and for Fall, as well. If you are not yet our user, try it for free right here: https://app.promorepublic.com/

Fall is about new beginnings. It’s also the calm before the storm (i.e. Thanksgiving). We highly recommend you steer your customers into a wave of change that is calming and stress-free.

We live in a fast-changing world where something unimaginable happens every day. And the COVID-19 pandemic has added even more uncertainty to our already unpredictable lives. So it makes sense that industries that were relevant yesterday might begin to suffer losses today or even cease to exist tomorrow.  

Undoubtedly, this situation affects digital marketing agencies as well. But don’t worry — the chances of agencies not being needed tomorrow are slim to none! Nevertheless, it’s harder for those who want to open their own digital marketing agency than ever to choose a niche. How can you be sure that another pandemic won’t cause your industry to any longer be profitable in a month? That’s why today, in this article, we decided to cover the topic of how to choose a niche and what the pros and cons are. So read on!

Reasons why you should choose a niche

Some of you may have wondered at this point — why pick a niche at all rather than working with everyone? There are a number of reasons for that. First of all, of course, it will be much easier for you to set up processes and find clients there. In addition, it is obvious that there are so many digital agencies these days, and it is impossible to take the leading position among all of them at once. But it is pretty possible to become a leader in a particular industry!

Other less obvious advantages also include:

  • Roadmap. If you’re working with everyone in all niches, it’s very easy to stop understanding what you’re even doing and where your agency is going. You’ll have a more challenging time convincing clients why it’s more profitable to work with you than your competitors because you won’t have enough clear examples. Having a niche will allow you to look for specific pain points of potential clients and make your services more personalized.
  • Understanding your competitors. Choosing a specific niche allows you to start really analyzing and understanding your competitors, as well as their services, advantages, and disadvantages. It will be easier for you to convince clients why your approach is unique and more profitable.
  • You will be able to anticipate external risks and possible impacts. Having a niche allows you to adapt quickly to them and position yourself better.
  • Having a niche gives you growth opportunities. You can better understand your target audience, your objectives, and your services. Thus, you get the chance to develop faster and more steadily while having a high ROI.

So it’s pretty obvious that choosing a niche is a very profitable and correct decision. Now let’s figure out how to choose it.

How to choose a niche

The short answer to this question is to do very meticulous research. 

In truth, however, there are simply no shortcuts in this case. Therefore, it is worth going consistently, using the following five points. 

  1. Brainstorm

Start by brainstorming with a couple of trusted people you want to work with who have enough experience and knowledge. The goal of this process is to bring in new ideas. But these people will also help you conduct your research. 

First of all, determine what your strengths and weaknesses are. Then make a list of niches that you could quickly enter, given your strengths. Are you good at running PPC campaigns? Do you have a successful track record in SMM? All of this will be a plus for you!

  1. Get to know your competitors 

At the end of the previous step, you already have a list of niches that suit your skills. And this has both pros and cons. The cons are that, most likely, almost all the niches you selected are already too “crowded,” and there is stiff competition. Pros are that further research will go much faster since your competitors have already conducted all possible market research. So fill your boots!

Start analyzing each selected niche and research your competitors. Compare the company’s size, staff, rates, social media, and how they position themselves in the mass media.

Carefully analyze the information you receive. A large staff and more than one office of your competitor’s agency may mean that it is indeed profitable. Audiences on social media can tell you if there is interest in this niche and how great it is. If your competitors have many good reviews, then we have bad news for you — the competition will be really tough. 

With this kind of analysis, you can cross off niches that are “overcrowded” or unsuitable for you. This will leave you with a few options for niches where you have a real chance of success.

  1. Conduct an industry research

Now we’re going to contradict the previous point a bit: you shouldn’t completely trust your competitors — they may not be the best indicators of the situation in a given niche. 

It could be anything. Maybe they bought subscribers and likes from special agencies. Maybe the reviews were left by employees or the management themselves — with fake accounts. That’s why it’s a perfect time to analyze the industry at this point. Essentially, you take the information you’ve already found and check it against more reliable sources. 

Don’t forget to analyze the findings. Will you be able to keep up in a niche like this? Do you have enough budget? Will you be able to stay trendy? Discuss your findings with the group of trusted people mentioned above. At this point, your list of niches will shrink again.

  1. Get to know your potential client 

“Creating avatar” is not only about James Cameron’s creative process but also about analyzing your potential client. You have to understand your market segment and its content — the people you have to deal with. So before you choose a niche, it’s worth getting to know them. This is where the avatar of your ideal client comes in handy. It’s important to remember: we’re not talking about your target audience here, but about an individual — your ideal client. And when you speak to your audience, it is in them that your words resonate in the first place. 

  1. Conduct a survey among small businesses

There’s not much left to do! By now, you have undoubtedly identified the niches that will be most profitable and successful for you. You also know in person not only your competitors but also your potential customers. Now it’s just a matter of getting the feedback that will confirm or refute your decision.

Whether you succeed or your niche breaks you depends on the quality of your research, your skills, and, of course, your luck. So you have to be sure that your services are relevant, in demand, and that someone will want to buy them at all. Based on your customer avatar research, make a list of 12-15 questions for your target audience. Their purpose is to validate your niche choice. If you are going to open a digital marketing agency for social media marketing for accountants, your questions, for example, might look like this:

  • Have you heard about the benefits of having a corporate social media profile?
  • Have you ever considered creating one?
  • Would you like to get a new influx of customers through, for example, Facebook?

Post your questions on social media or send them out to former clients. Even cold calls will work. Your goal is to get as many responses as possible from people who fit the title of your ideal customer. 

Analyze the responses. If you see that people want these services and can afford them, you’ve come to the finish line. Your niche has been found.

Pros and cons of choosing a niche

Of course, by this point, it is clear that finding your niche has many advantages. But there are also disadvantages. Let’s define them.

Pros

  • Fast and confident launching in the market. After choosing a niche, you already have a marketing strategy, you know your client and their needs, and networking and attracting new clients only gets easier.
  • Easier selling. When you work in one niche, it’s much easier to confirm and improve your reputation. It’s also easier for you to generate leads and prove to them why you’re their best option. 
  • Targeted marketing and high conversions. You can create more personalized content for different target audiences by addressing your customers’ pain points directly.

Cons

  • Smaller market capitalization. Choosing a niche means a much smaller number of potential clients, as well as the risks of oversaturation of this market.
  • The need for more in-depth expertise. If you have not had experience in a particular niche, you will have to earn it very quickly. 
  • Fewer leads. Choosing a niche means that even if you are doing well now and the conversion is going great, you may soon reach its limit.

We have listed all the main pros and cons and covered the main steps. Now it’s up to you. You can look for your niche or work for several industries at once. The main thing is to do quality research!

From employee birthdays to National Hugging Day, holidays of all kinds are a great way to diversify your company’s Instagram. And one of the cutest days to dedicate a post to in your account is International Cat Day! This holiday originated in 2002 through an initiative of the International Fund for Animal Welfare.

There are holidays devoted to these undeniably smart animals in many countries. In most parts of the world, Cat Day is celebrated on August 8. But for some countries, this date is different. So, in Russia, it is celebrated on March 1, in Poland — February 17, in Japan — February 22, and in the U.S., they are honored on October 29.

The purpose of this holiday is not only to honor our pets but also to raise awareness about the problem of homeless cats.

Cats were and are one of the most popular pets in the world, second only to dogs. In 2018, 370 million people owned a cat compared to 470 million dog owners. Meanwhile, in Europe, the cat was the most popular animal in the same year: 75 million cat owners vs. 65 million dog owners.

So it makes sense that today, we will dedicate this article to these beautiful animals. So, these are the top 15 Instagram post ideas for International Cat Day!

Idea #1. Post a cat (it’s that simple)

The easiest way to celebrate International Cat Day is to post a cute cat photo and write a greeting. You can also make a slightly more informative post, write about the holiday’s purpose, give some statistics, and other useful information. Users will really appreciate it! And don’t forget about the hashtags!

Source: https://www.instagram.com/todayscatss/

Idea #2. Make a support post

Write about local shelters or volunteer organizations that help homeless cats. Encourage your followers to help them. Or you can even donate a few percent of your revenue for that day to one of these organizations. This will greatly increase your audience’s trust and build your image as a socially responsible company.

Source: https://www.instagram.com/_animalheroes_/

Idea #3. Organize a giveaway 

Have a joint giveaway with a cat supplies manufacturer or retailer. Such publications are a proven way to bring you a new audience and increase activity in your account. Invite Instagram users to subscribe to you and your partner, share the post in Stories, or tag friends in the comments. You can also invite them to be creative: have followers write an original International Cat Day greeting and choose a winner based on the number of likes.

Idea #4. Post about top 10 famous cats

Collect the top 10 most famous cats. These can be both cats who have become famous for something throughout history or just the most popular cats from Internet memes. Don’t forget to share a bit about each of them — Instagram users love this kind of stuff!

Source: https://www.instagram.com/le.chatnoir.mystique/

Idea #5. Spread the word about the health of cats, nutritious food for them, or a little bit about their upbringing

There is an incredible amount of information on the Internet today about raising or feeding cats, how to take care of them, and what to look out for. And often, it is very easy to get lost in this flood of articles, notes, and blogs. Help your users and collect for them the most relevant and verified information on how to take better care of their pets.

Idea #6. Organize a cat party

Invite employees to bring their own kitties and have a real party for them! Prepare treats, fun costumes, and decorations. You can even get a professional photographer to capture the party for all your followers!

Source: https://www.instagram.com/chiichiirella/

Idea #7. Tell about your volunteer work

Share with your subscribers how your company helps homeless cats or local shelters. Prepare a photo report. Maybe there’s a kitty near your office that you love to feed — your audience will appreciate the gesture!

Source: https://www.instagram.com/togerd/

Idea #8. Let your audience post for you

Invite your followers to post funny pictures of their cats. Collect the most original ones in your account or Stories! You can even reward the most creative users with a promo code or a discount on your products.

Idea #9. Collect the top of the funniest cat videos

The Internet is primarily a place to watch cat videos. Remind your followers of this by compiling the top 10 funniest cat videos ever!

Idea #10. Conduct an interview with the cat

If a cat lives in your company or an employee’s cat has become your office mascot, “interview” it. For example, you can tell about its “working” day in the office or at home.

Idea #11. Make a selection of recipes that your followers can make for their cats

Instagram is full of a variety of recipes. But how often do you see recipes for cats? A hearty soup, tuna treats, flavorful fish? Your followers’ cats will absolutely love it! But be careful and do not touch the subject of cats’ diets — a specialist should only do it!

Source: https://www.instagram.com/felightuk/

Idea #12. Have a live stream with a veterinarian or other cat specialist

A Q&A session is always a winning option. Ask your audience to help you put together a list of questions they would like to ask a well-known expert. This could be a veterinarian, a volunteer from a local shelter, or other experts who deal with cats.

Source: https://www.instagram.com/chewy/

Idea #13. Tell about how your employees celebrated International Cat Day

Find out which of your employees have cats. Ask them to share pictures of how they celebrated this holiday with their pets. An ideal way to do this is also to accompany pictures with little stories about what they did and how their cats reacted.

Idea #14. Put together a post of the most hilarious medieval cat paintings

Have you ever seen cats drawn in the Middle Ages? One can’t help but laugh because they are hilarious! Impress your audience on International Cat Day with a selection of the funniest medieval cat drawings, and your followers won’t forget you!

Idea #15. Ask your in-house designers to make cute and funny cards

Cards with original illustrations for all kinds of holidays are very popular on the Internet. Have your design team make a selection of your corporate postcards with cats that can be published on Instagram. The themes can be very different — moments from the life of cats, cats who work in the office, etc. Show your creativity!

Facebook is the main tool for many businesses through which they connect with their target audience. And the appearance of your Facebook page should be flawless as it can have a massive impact on how seriously people take your business. Users only need several moments to get the first impression and draw conclusions about your page and company. These several moments can cost you a lot of money because they determine whether a person will buy something or not in a lot of situations. In this article, we will share some simple advice you can use to create the perfect Facebook cover image.

Contents

  1. Facebook cover photo sizes
  2. How you can use a Facebook cover photo
  3. Common mistakes

The correct Facebook cover photo size is the first step to portraying the right image of your business on social media. It acts a lot like a storefront and demonstrates what you’re selling to an interested audience and entices them to come and learn more. If the picture is too big, some critical parts of the content may get cropped out. If it is too small, your image will look stretched and pixelated.

Facebook Cover Photo Sizes

  • Facebook provides simple and helpful guidelines to users who want to add cover images to their pages. Here are the main tips:
  • Displays at 820 pixels wide by 312 pixels tall on your page on computers and 640 pixels wide by 360 pixels tall on smartphones.
  • Must be at least 400 pixels wide and 150 pixels tall.
  • Loads fastest as an sRGB JPG file that’s 851 pixels wide, 315 pixels tall, and less than 100 kb.
  • For images with a logo or text, it might be best as a PNG file.
  • Facebook Business Page dimensions are exactly the same as personal accounts.

Facebook will crop the top and bottom of your cover photo on a desktop device and crop the left and right sides on a mobile device. To avoid it, it’s important to keep all the text and graphics within the middle “perfect zone,” which is shown below.

To know exactly that your cover photo will be shown perfectly on both devices, try using the Facebook cover photo size of 820 pixels by 360 pixels. This will ensure that none of the critical components of your cover photo are getting cut off on mobile devices or desktops.

How You Can Use a Facebook Cover Photo

  • Get your audience’s attention

There are a few different approaches in the social media world, particularly regarding the Facebook cover photo. Some people think that it’s best to combine their profile picture and cover photo into a single cohesive image, while other brands prefer to spread their imagery out to lead potential customers to focus on the suitable spaces. Sometimes you can find both options when the profile picture blends almost seamlessly with the cover photo, uses the same design elements and the same colors, and pulls attention to the right elements on the page.

Importantly, when looking for ways to direct audience attention, make sure that you avoid using directional cues like lines or arrows. Besides looking a bit too aggressive, buttons and CTAs will also show up differently on mobile devices than desktops. This means you could end up with an arrow that points nowhere on mobile.

  • Tell people about the brand’s highlights and news

Your Facebook header is the perfect place to highlight any critical updates and promote the latest events. Don’t try to bombard your readers with tons of information in the cover space but create a high-quality image that is a compelling visual first.

  • Show Off Your Brand’s Personality

With the right Facebook photo cover, you can engage your audience and get their attention long before they read any of your posts. So, make sure that your cover photo represents what your brand does. This helps your customer know that they’re on the right page and ensures that you present a more consistent image for your company online.

  • Drive sales or lead generation

A cover photo designed to drive sales or leads, combined with a relevant CTA, can get you more results without a lot of extra work on your part. As mentioned above, it is important to use high-quality pictures that can drive people’s attention and make them want to read your posts or somehow engage. But in social media marketing, the keyword is “marketing,” so don’t forget to promote your business while thinking about your potential customers’ comfort and joy. And hey, don’t forget to check PromoRepublic to create and schedule content, get approvals from clients, run ads, and report on performance.

  • Feature user-generated content

User-generated content is one of the most powerful marketing tools brands can use. It also can be top quality, fun, interesting, and exciting. Using this type of content in your cover photo can go a long way in loyalty building. Moreover, you will spend zero resources on the creation process. That’s the situation when some of you fans can really get you covered.

  • Demonstrate product features & benefits

Showing brands benefits can also immediately set you apart from the competition. So why using it only in posts or blogs when you can write it on your cover picture?

Common Mistakes

Too much text

Try not to use too much text on your cover photo. This is not a good move, even if you think that this quote is insanely good. The best idea is to use a high-quality image instead that can speak for itself because that’s what your cover photo should actually be.

Too much clutter

You know these pictures with so much text, colors, and elements that if you look at them for too long, you’ll get a headache. It seems like a brand wants you to focus on everything at the same time. It looks really bad and sloppy, even if it draws people’s attention at first.

No branding

Even if your photo is of the best quality, it should tell people about the brand. It’s a great idea to add some branding elements like logo, slogan, or some brand pattern or colors.

Same cover photo sizes

Facebook header images differ in sizing across Facebook events and Facebook groups. Use the proper dimensions to optimize your pages or get a mess instead of people’s attention and engagement. Also, remember that Facebook changes its formatting reasonably often. And every time they do, check your photo on mobile and desktop to make sure nothing is getting cut off.

The perfect Facebook cover photo size will help you make an excellent first impression, especially when it looks good on both mobile and desktop monitors. Combining the ideal picture size, branding, and best practices listed above will get you a high level of social presence and the good reputation you want to build for your business.

Get your own social marketing branded tool without effort and impress your clients!

If you want to stand out in the Instagram crowd, we’ll show you how to get there:

What Are Instagram Story Templates?

Do you own a business? Do you have a personal brand? Do you want to be seen by thousands, even millions of potential customers? Instagram Stories Templates are pre-designed layouts featuring graphics and texts. You can customize the templates with colors, fonts, and design elements to keep your voice and personality cohesive with your branding. To make Instagram Story templates is easy in Promorepublic’s graphic editor. You still can’t schedule templates but you can save them until you are ready to post.

Generally, Instagram Stories Templates last 24 hours making this a big part of the appeal. Because it’s short-term, it gives your post a sense of urgency. You do have the option to save your Story as a Highlight. If you feel like one of the Instagram Stories Templates positively reflects your brand, then right at the top of your profile is not a bad place to be.
More followers are viewing only the Instagram Story and foregoing the feed. It makes business sense to create templates for your product/service. Post behind-the-scenes, special events, or even just day-to-day routines. It all depends on your follower’s habits and viewing patterns. Every industry has its own quirks and best times to post. We recommend using your Analytics tools to better understand when, where and why your customers are online.

Free Instagram Story Templates are taking social media by storm. If you want your product/service to be seen, it’s almost a prerequisite. The time it takes to procrastinate, is the same time it takes for your competitors to get new followers! Learning how to make an Instagram Story is simple, with our step by step formula. Filling it in with your exciting content is the fun part.

Why Use Instagram Stories Templates?

Build Brand Awareness

You’ve heard it time and time again, brand recognition is an integral part of your sales and marketing strategy. Every design element counts too – fonts, color palettes, icons, graphics. Staying consistent throughout all your platforms unifies your brand’s message. With the free Instagram Stories Template, you can incorporate all your branding elements. And when the user swipes up and is directed to your web page, the flow continues.

The fact that your Instagram Story lasts a day allows brands to play with different templates or even post fun and wacky ones. The users are almost expecting bold and out of the ordinary content from you. The more memorable your content, the more top of mind your product/service will be.

Brand consistency delivers results to your sales and the bottom dollar. When your customer jumps from email to website to Instagram and your branding is on point, you are doing something right. A fluid stream of branding is your business footprint. The key is not to waver but to stay the course. It can take one month or one year for some businesses to reach the epitome of branding. If you believe in your business, your customers will too.

Boost Customer Experience

Get your customers to act upon your templates. Ask them questions or put eye-catching Call-To-Actions that compel them to click or buy or read. Go ahead and include polls on your Instagram Stories Templates. People love to be part of the bigger picture. If you let them know that their actions resulted in adding more shoes to the collection or more workouts to the schedule – then your job as a business owner and marketer is done!

Staying relevant to your industry is key in capturing their attention. For example, as a Travel company, you could create templates with pinned places where you have visited and encourage your audience to pin their own. Or perhaps you are a Fitness Trainer, then you can post “Today’s Workout”. And ask them to share their workout plans for the week!

If your templates strike a nerve, they will want more. If you create an Instagram Stories template “series” posted on a weekly basis, they will want more. If they love the custom stickers or GIFs that you post related to your brand, they’ll want more. As marketers, we want to give them what they want!

The beauty of Instagram Stories is that the viewership is present and they are also very engaged. We say, take advantage of this and reach out to your customers – show them love with sales or just a smile; either way, they will come back for more!

Grow Followers

Anything that we do online is for the sole purpose of growing our followers to then convert them into paying customers. Technology is growing at an exponential rate each and every day, so it’s not news that our favorite social media platforms are advancing as well. The more sophisticated they become, the more avenues we are given to get our brands on top of our consumer’s minds.

Everyone knows that a compelling bio on the Instagram profile page will keep your customer on the page. If you are one of many businesses with less than 1000 followers, this is an opportune time for you to make it stand out. Have you seen the Highlights section in your bio? They are snippets of your Instagram Stories kept at the top of your profile giving your customer or follower special details and insights into your brand/business. Use this wisely and watch your followers grow in number!

Another admirable way to increase followers is by shouting out your competitors to your followers. We’ve been seeing many companies leading this practice which is a move back to the beginnings of Instagram; its intention was to bring businesses together. That’s why in Summer 2019, they reverted back to their idea of #community by taking away the “likes” feature on posts. This caused quite a stir from the influencers. We’re still on the fence, whether they will keep the likes or not. Regardless, your objective as a business is to engage with your customers and develop a loyal relationship with them. And it can be done.

Promote Curated Content

What makes you stand out from the other brands? There are tons of fitness coaches and retail shops and financial advisors out there, so what separates you from the crowd? Curated Content is the art of sharing the most relevant content that embraces your brand in a nutshell. With free Instagram Stories Template, businesses can craft and design their own templates with images personalized to create more editorial feels.

You can play with monochromatic backgrounds and different sized texts to keep the audience focused on the words. If you are a magazine and your articles matter, then reel them in with excerpts from your blogs. If you are a travel company, we know they only want to see where you are or which mountain your climbing or sea you are wading in!

With Instagram Stories Templates, you get to explore which prints, textures, and backgrounds your followers are attracted to. This is a powerful marketing tool for all businesses. No matter your industry, there is always a story to tell. In fact, there are many stories to tell as long as you stay true to your brand.

How to Make Instagram Story Templates

If you are an Instagram user, we bet you’re already a big fan of Instagram Stories. If you own a business, we are recommending you to get on the Instagram Story Template bandwagon as soon as possible. Users are apt to respond quickly to questions, to polls, to your images because they know that it’s up for a limited time. This is an opportune time for brands to spread their wings and try new strategies and tactics. 24 hours is enough time to grasp onto your audience’s likes and dislikes.

If you are a PromoRepublic user, AWESOME! Go into the Library and click on Recommended For You, then click on either Health/Beauty or Marketing. Once you are there, go on and click on More. Tap on Stories and choose the series of templates that best represent your brand. If you are feeling creative, choose one of them and put your own artistic flair to the template. If you want to save your work for a later date, it’s possible. Learn how to schedule Instagram posts with our Instagram Post Scheduler and get a notification when your template is ready to be posted.

The advantage of creating branded Instagram Stories saves time and gives your brand a cohesive online presence. It saves you money as well. Who needs a graphic designer when you have PromoRepublic’s graphic editor at your fingertips?

When Is The Best Time to Schedule Instagram Stories?

Like every Social Media platform, timing is science when posting Instagram Stories. Every brand/business is different but there are some rules of thumb to follow:

Mid-week is proving to be the best time to post whether your business is B2B or B2C. Most engagement is shared during the week. If your business is in the tech industry, then Wednesday to Friday from 10 am to 5 pm are the recommended times. But if you’re a retail shop, then weekdays and Saturdays at lunchtime are highly recommended.

Sundays are a NO-GO for all businesses. The only type of content that you could share is fun and motivational Instagram Story Templates. Are you in a specific industry? Do you want to know the peak Instagram times for your industry?

Posting Instagram Stories on a regular basis is important if your goal is to build an audience and increase your views. And the good news is that you can create your stories just like any other posts in your content calendar.

Get started on your Instagram Story Templates with PromoRepublic. And to make your Instagram Story template is easy. All you need to do is choose the designs or channel your inner graphic artist. All the kids (and adults) are on Instagram and your business NEEDS to be there too. Don’t delay. Just jump right in! Remember, you will perfect each template as you go. Your customers will most likely dictate your next move. Trust them. And trust yourselves as a business. You Got This! Next time, we are scrolling through Instagram Stories – we hope to see you there.

Joyful. Beautiful. Sunny. Bright. Glorious. Fresh. These are just some of the words that come to mind when we think of this month. There are plenty of more compelling keywords and social media post ideas for June that we will be sharing throughout this article.

We’re entering one of the most exciting months of the year for businesses. Why do you ask? First of all, it’s the end of the school year with activities and graduations topping the charts and we can’t forget Father’s Day. These are goldmines for restaurants, retail, entertainment, and service industries.

We have tons of ideas on what to post on Facebook in June. Take advantage of the good moods and positivity your customers are feeling with vibrant and appealing social media posts.

What to expect in this article completely jam-packed with June social media posts:

Get Creative With Jubilant June Social Media Ideas

What more can we say about this month we look most forward to all year long. A lot more! Even though Summer officially begins on June 21st – we all know Memorial Day is the first holiday to usher in the Summer Feels. As soon as June 1st hits, we recommend flooding your news feeds with plenty of luminous posts depicting fun times with family and friends and of course, shopping! Regardless of your industry, adding daily posts will keep your followers engaged and excited for more.

Daily Holidays: Social Media Content Ideas for June

Promoting your products/services on social media is an essential part of your marketing strategy, but we all know that your customers are wise and consumer savvy and too many sales can actually deter them from your shop or online store. Here are some meaningful and outright fun holidays to implement in your social posts for June.

Week 1

National Cancer Survivors Day

June 2 marks this celebratory holiday honoring all the women and men who faced the challenges of this disease and came out victorious in the end. For most, it was a battle and they deserve this day to rejoice. Share the love with your followers. A business that cares is a business that wins customer loyalty.

Leave the Office Early Day

While this is a fun holiday for all the employees, keen to take advantage. This could be an ideal time for all the marketers or coaches to post templates on, ‘how to be more productive’ or tips on ‘how to leave early every day.’ Thinking outside the box is what we do best here at PromoRepublic.

National Repeat Day

This is a great day to post a sales-y sentence that perhaps you can ask your customers to repeat to you today for a discount or a smile! Be as creative as you want to be – after all, this is your business’ Facebook or Instagram pages.

National Cheese Day

Attention all restaurants/cafés/caterers! Today is a good day to come up with a new recipe with cheese in it. Or better yet, give a discount to your loyal customers on everything and anything with cheese on your menus.

National Running Day

Do any of these reasons comply with your business? If so, we suggest using it to your advantage. Can you add another reason to the list that is relevant to your products/services? Well, go on then – get creative! Encouraging physical activity is never a bad thing!

National Yo-Yo Day

Calling all Star War aficionados, this post will warm their hearts! No need to be a fan to love this post either – it’s meant to be light and fun. If you happen to sell toys and yo-yo’s in particular, well we don’t need to advise you on taking advantage of this up and down holiday.

National Chocolate Ice-Cream Day

I scream, you scream, we all scream for Ice Cream! This is a no-brainer of a post. A June Facebook post without ice cream, well, that doesn’t even make any sense! That’s just crazy talk. Ice cream is synonymous with summer. You don’t sell ice cream? No worries. Do you sell clothes in the colors of this popular treat? Are you a nutritionist? Well then share a healthy version of this recipe. You see where we are going, right?

National VCR Day

Appeal to all your 80s folk and don’t be fooled because there are many on social media. Engage them with questions: ask them what their favorite movies were back then? Ask them to post funny moments from way back when caught on video!

Week 2

National Donut Day

Donut, Doughnut – it doesn’t matter how you spell it, so long as it gets in my tummy. It’s still a beloved treat for young and old. Free donuts can go a long way today for your business! If your followers are more like health nuts – share a donut recipe high in nutritional value. They do exist, we think, probably!

World Bike Naked Day

This is actually a day that’s taken seriously all over the world. If you have a following that is open-minded – you can ask them to post funny posts with them on bikes (of course, nudity is not allowed on all platforms!). If you sell bikes, you can play with this holiday to your advantage!

National Donald Duck Day

Reach out to your Disney fans! Today we celebrate our favorite duck! He’s been around for years and he still brings a smile to many faces. Please, no duck recipes on this day – it may cause an adverse reaction among your followers. Post some quotes or funny memes about him and his silly ways.

National Children’s Day

Today we honor our tiny tots. This day is an awesome day to post a list of activities that your followers can take advantage of to enjoy with their kids. Pinterest is an especially good platform for ideas. If you are a retailer, we urge you to share all your promos with all children related products. If you are in the service industry – same, same!

National Iced Tea Day

We said earlier that ice cream was synonymous with Summer. Well, this drink is high up on the list as well. Nothing better than a refreshing ice tea on a warm day in June. Share your family recipes. Ask your followers to share theirs too. Get the conversation going and maybe they’ll forget how hot the scorching sun really is.

National Making Life Beautiful Day

Filled with positive energy, this is a magnificent holiday to lift your follower’s spirits. How do you think you can make their life beautiful? Is it by offering a special deal, is it a gift, is it free advice or maybe just a smile from your employees? Whatever little thing you do will be a step in the right direction for your business.

National Corn on the Cob Day

Yet another Summertime staple – Corn is one of our summertime fave foods to nibble on. Educate your customers with fun nutritional facts, recipes or health benefits.

Superman Day

Today you can talk about our favorite superhero or you can praise one of the heroes in your business: your employee of the week or best supplier/vendor or maybe your hero is a customer.

Men’s Mental Health Awareness Day

The goal of this day is to raise awareness of health issues that affect men every day. Encourage your men to exercise, eat right and go to the doctor. Showing them you care about their health can go a long way in loyalty to your brand.

Cupcake Lovers Day

Today is a perfect day to indulge in your favorite treat. Ask your followers which ones are their faves – is it red velvet, chocolate, or carrot cake? There are so many varieties now – it will be fun to read what they love! If you are a bakery – this can be a perfect marketing survey for you. Create a free cupcake for them as a sales incentive. Are you an online shop? Give them a cupcake emoji that equates to a 10% discount, perhaps.

World Blood Donor Day

This is a call to action to raise awareness of the need for blood donors in the world. Every day there is an emergency somewhere – sometimes it’s life or death. How nice would it be if these people would have the chance at life because of us? Keeping our clients and followers aware of this is our way of giving many a chance at life.

Flag Day

Did you know that according to etiquette, American flags are to be illuminated by sunlight or another light source while on display? Share some fun facts about their flag on this day. Ask them to upload pics of their flags! It’s a day to rejoice and be proud to be an American!

Father’s Day

Today your follower’s are celebrating their Dads, so let’s make sure that all your promotions are in place and your Happy Father’s Day images on Facebook are on par. We recommend posting quotes or fun facts about fathers on this day. Keep it light-hearted, since you’ve spent the past month promoting your products/services for this special day, right?

Week 3

Autism Pride Day

With more and more kids being diagnosed daily with autism, it’s in our best interest to break down the stigma of this ‘disorder.’ As a business, if you celebrate parents’ autistic children – we guarantee eternal loyalty to your company.

International Picnic Day

Restaurants, cafés, bakeries, grocers, home stores – this day is for you! Encourage your followers to have a picnic with their friends and family. Persuade them to use your products or services – highlight the foods that make sense for an outdoor gathering. Give them ideas with cool recipes or fun activities.

World Refugee Day

With so many global citizens being forced to leave their homelands because of war and strife. We need to come together as a social media community and show our support with our words of encouragement. If there are local organizations standing up for refugee rights, then, by all means, raise money for them through your business. They are citizens of the world too.

World Productivity Day

Businesses all around the world celebrate this day. If you are a marketer, business coach or consultant, this is the day to share productivity tips to your followers. Teaching them how to save time in the day is always helpful especially with our busy lives. Go on and educate them with your smarts!

Stupid Guy Thing Day

Poking fun at your male followers is pure FUN, but if you feel like you will offend them, we suggest you hold off on this template. If you have a mostly female customer base, we are certain they will love this post! Depending on your target groups – memes and funny images like this can be beneficial.

National Kissing Day

Spread the love today with kisses and discounts! Lol! Seriously, we all kiss our partners or friends (well maybe just a peck for them!), these fun facts will keep them smiling and maybe doing too.

Week 4

Let It Go Day

Encourage your followers to “let it all go” today! If it’s work stress that they need to let go, so be it. If it’s worry, so be it. If it’s pressures of everyday life, so be it. Give them ideas on how this can be done – perhaps they need to buy your product to relieve these negative feelings. Maybe they need to book an appointment for their hair or nails.

National Pink Day

Today is not only anti-bullying day but it is also a day to celebrate all that is PINK. Yes. We are serious. Our advice to you is to promote the purchase of pink today whilst raising a percentage for this cause – a 2 in 1 if you wish. Showcase all the pink in your shops and bakeries, etc… And make a difference!

Celebration of the Senses Day

Taste, smell, sight, touch, and scent. Does your business have a product/service related to any of these senses? We’ll assume your answer was yes. So go on and create a social media post on this. For example; you’re a florist, so sight and smell are your senses! Encourage your clients to describe their favorite flowers and words to express the fragrances.

Color TV Day

Fun Fact: the color revolution hit televisions in the mid-1960s. Although it was first invented in 1954. It took a few years for people to accept this new invention into their homes. This is a good engaging post for all your Gen Xers and Baby Boomers. Ask them questions about their fave tv shows of the past. Have fun!

Please Take My Children to Work Day

This holiday was first created for all you stay-at-home moms who needed a break from their kids! Nowadays it’s been extended to even working moms and dads who need some time away from their unruly kids. For all the spas and beauty shops, this day is a good day to offer promotions to these hard workers!

Forgiveness Day

Another fun holiday poking fun at all the wrong-doers! Do you have enough courage as a business owner to post all the errors that your customers make related to your business? It could be a wake-up call for some! But mostly it’s a reason to have a little fun.

National PTSD Awareness Day

There are many reasons that you may suffer from PTSD – whether it’s war-related, or from personal trauma. More followers suffer from this disease than we are aware of… Let them know that you’re fully supportive in raising awareness for the treatment of this agonizing disease.

National Sunglasses Day

If you sell sunglasses, then this day is your day! If you don’t, today is also a good day to share tips on how to protect your body from the sun. We are one week into Summer and your customers probably need reminding. Do a good deed and spread the summertime love.
