Choose a template that matches the upcoming holiday and adapt it with your brand voice or a relevant image. Schedule posts ahead of time, especially for global holidays, and encourage responses by tagging a few active members or using polls. Always respond to comments and highlight interesting stories to keep the conversation lively. Consider using these templates as part of a themed week or paired with special offers for even more engagement.
For all platforms, use eye-catching images or festive banners with your post, adjust the length for platform norms (short for Twitter, longer for Facebook or LinkedIn), and consider adding relevant hashtags for holiday visibility. On platforms with Stories or Reels, invite members to share quick videos or photos of their celebrations.
Aim for major holidays relevant to your audience, but avoid overposting. Quality is better than quantity. Once per holiday or festival is ideal.
Acknowledge different holidays throughout the year and invite members to share their own traditions. Use language that is welcoming to all cultures.
Frame posts as invitations to share personal experiences or memories, not assumptions that everyone celebrates. Encourage learning about each other’s customs.
Images, especially festive or culturally relevant ones, boost engagement. Use them alongside text for the best results.
Use simple, low-pressure questions and encourage photo or emoji responses. Highlight and thank members who contribute.
Yes, but keep the focus on celebration and community. Mention offers subtly or as a bonus, not as the main topic.
Set clear guidelines for respectful sharing, monitor discussions, and be proactive in addressing any insensitive comments.
