This is an updated reprint from last year. Since it is this time of year and the information is still viable and useful - especially if you are new to social media, I see no harm in revisiting it.
Christmas, and the holiday season in general, is upon us. Christmas eve is tomorrow and Christmas day follows and that is quickly followed by New Years Eve and Day.
It doesn't matter the holiday you are celebrating, be sure to engage your customers/fans with a seasonal related post. It can be something as simple as - we'll use today as an example - "Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays" or "Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas". The message doesn't have to be this generic, but it can be.
Or you could go a step further and create a custom graphic with the message to present to your customers. Images are often liked and shared and creating a quick single or double image Christmas card isn't hard to do.
It's also good to engage folks with questions leading up to holidays and after holidays. For example, on one of the gaming pages I maintain, I have scheduled to ask "What games did you get for Christmas?" After Black Friday, we asked gamers what games they snagged. On another of my blogs and facebook pages, I asked about what books or programs were on their Christmas wish lists.
This type of interaction shows that you aren't just about business and engages users in a different way. If you are a creative type, you can even share custom holiday images, company holiday photos or a digital card with your followers.
That being said, we hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and you get what you were hoping for.
