It’s that time of year when September breezes in, bringing pumpkin spice lattes, cozy sweaters, and a whole treasure chest of quirky social media opportunities. You’ve got your unique small business β now, let’s make it shine brighter than a disco ball in a funhouse! πΊβ¨
September 1: “Emma M. Nut Day”: Who’s Emma M. Nut? Nobody knows, but it’s an excellent excuse to go nuts (pun intended) with your nutty products! Post goofy nut-related memes, share nutty facts, and watch your engagement go nutty too! π₯π
September 5: “International Beard Day”: Even if your business isn’t beard-related, there’s room for a beard-tastic post. Maybe you have a bearded mascot or a bearded team member willing to show off their facial fuzz. The hairier, the better! π¨π§
September 13: “Positive Thinking Day”: Time to spread some positivity! Share uplifting quotes, stories of overcoming challenges, or how your business is spreading good vibes. Remember, your small business is a beacon of positivity in this world! ππ
September 16: “National Play-Doh Day”: Get your hands dirty (virtually) and craft some Play-Doh masterpieces. Challenge your followers to create their own mini sculptures. The more colorful, the better! ππ¨
September 21: “Mini Golf Day”: Even if you don’t run a mini-golf course, you can have a virtual putt-putt tournament. Get creative with mini-golf-themed posts and maybe even a prize for the best mini-golf hole design! β³ποΈββοΈ
September 26: “Love Note Day”: Spread love like confetti! Share heartfelt messages from your customers or colleagues. Encourage your followers to leave love notes in the comments. Bonus points if you doodle a love note to your favorite product! ππ
September 30: “International Podcast Day”: If you’ve got a podcast or love listening to them, today’s your day! Share your favorite episodes, invite followers to share theirs, and maybe even host a mini-podcast party. ποΈπ§
