When the health crisis hit the world last year, a lot of businesses had to close their doors, limit their serving capacity, or shift to online marketing. Not surprisingly, this worked well with the quarantine and lockdown protocols. Going live on Facebook and Instagram provided brands with a way to interact with their isolated audiences. There are also those who do live-selling of their products. Other things that you can do during your live online sessions include:- Q&A or information drive
- Announcements
- Interviews
- Behind-the-scenes features
3. Social media 2021 calendar
A social media calendar will serve as a centralized place where you monitor and plan your content publishing strategy. Instead of just winging it and randomly posting stuff, build a consistent schedule of content. This should be well thought out to build trust with your audience. Your social media calendar should outline:- The platforms where you want to publish content
- The date and time of posting
- Relevant hashtags
- Captivating captions
