120 Sample Questions for Your Social Media Calendar
Coming up with ideas for good, engaging and relevant content to use on your social media isn't always easy. That's why we've developed a list of 120 questions and ideas you can use to help fill your yearly calendar.
We've split these questions into groups to parse through it easier. We recommend using these questions as starting points for a post. For instance, "On Saturday mornings, where can we find you? What are you doing?" Maybe on a random Saturday morning, you post your agenda for the day beginning with your favorite place to spend your Saturday morning. Show them how you're always putting the customer first, but take this opportunity to share your personal self as well. Maybe you're getting ready to go to a family birthday party or going to grab breakfast at your favorite brunch spot. You can always turn the question back around to your audience. What are they usually up to on Saturday mornings? What's on their agenda?
You're welcome to take these ideas for the days you don’t have something to post or use them as easy questions to boost your engagement with your clients and community.
