March Content Ideas For Social Media [2024]
Looking for interesting March social media ideas in 2024? Find inspiration in these post ideas that will get your followers double-tapping.
If you’re looking for March content ideas for social media, hashtag holidays are a fun way to add personality and deliver value.
While basing your entire content marketing strategy plan on trending holiday hashtags isn't advisable, blending timely topics with the authentic interests strikes a perfect balance of relevant and personality packed content. There’s s a slew of social media holidays in March — official and unofficial, local and global, charitable and fun — that can be a source of inspiration for your content.
So which social media holidays one’s should you choose for your posting schedule?
The most important “rule” to remember is: don't just post about the holidays without context. You don’t want to be that person who posts, “Happy National Air Conditioner Day!” if there is no greater connection to your audience or your business goals. That’s a mismatch that leads to low engagement and confusion among your followers. Yikes.
On the other hand, you can take inspiration from the sentiment of the social media holiday. For National Air Conditioner Day, for example, a relevant, word-play rich idea could be “Cool Ways To Refresh Old Content,” which speaks to the concept without being so literal that it make no sense for your brand.
Posting with perspective is one of the greatest ways to build a loyal online following. The trick is to move beyond the face value not only helps set your brand apart but also assists your customers in breaking free from their routine. This creative approach ensures that your brand stays top-of-mind when customers are ready to make a purchase.
See what I mean below with these March content ideas for social media inspired by national and international holidays.
