Social Media Marketing Calendar: September 2019

Social Samosa presents Social Media September Marketing Calendar - 2019, the holy grail for social media managers, advertisers, and agency professionals.

That last-minute hassle, when you see an occasion trending on Twitter or you realize that World XYZ Day campaign is not ready, it will put you behind brands that have been on their toes and have already put their product out. Unpunctual campaigns also tend to be of inferior quality. Take a look at the September Marketing Calendar to avoid this.

Worst case you'd have to put your 'first thought' on a stock image, write 'Happy World XYZ Day' on it with a weak brand connect. But not anymore, this social media calendar and the available scheduling tools will help you polish your social media campaigns, brighten the highlights, so the campaign shines throughout.

Facebook, Instagram & Twitter all of the preferred marketing platforms have an option to schedule posts. Planning, executing and scheduling posts not only pushes you steps ahead of your competition but it also fine-tunes your campaign.

Additionally, it also saves your bandwidth for executing topical campaigns, which is also an integral part of your social media marketing strategy.

Social Media has shifted on-ground celebrations online. With every occasion trending on all social media platforms, this gives a chance to be a part of the celebration and slide in your campaigns.

Consumers let loose a higher disposable income during such periods, which also means they are looking to splurge on things that catch their eye. You can choose the campaign type for each occasion according to your brand and it's tonality.

Either you can go full-fledged with a long-form campaign on Ganesh Chaturthi and with a humble creative on Teacher's Day or vice-versa.

Creatives can be used to leverage a trend that doesn't exactly revolve around your brand but can be used to create brand awareness.
