How I Stay Visible During the Holidays: Thanksgiving Edition
Staying visible during the holidays doesn't have to mean creating more work. Over the years, I've developed a few Thanksgiving content traditions that help me stay connected with my audience, share a little personality, and recognize the people and organizations that matter to me.
Here are five ideas you can borrow, lift, or steal!
Highlight the people, relationships, and experiences you're thankful for, including clients, colleagues, family, friends, vendors, coaches, and community.
My Move: I create a gratitude carousel featuring the people and moments that made the year meaningful.
Skip the generic holiday graphic and send a personal message to clients or referral partners. Inspired by Jimmy Burgess' Thanksgiving video text idea.
My Move: I send a candid photo from "My Messy Kitchen" with a simple Thanksgiving greeting. It's personal, imperfect, and easy to do.
Talk about your favorite Thanksgiving traditions, whether it's cooking, football, family gatherings, or a favorite dish. Invite your audience to share theirs.
My Move: I record a video from the high school sharing that I'm looking forward to the High School Football game and ask followers to share their own traditions or drop a photo in the comments.
Share local Turkey Trots, food drives, volunteer opportunities, or organizations helping families during the holidays.
My Move: I share a community-focused carousel leading up to Thanksgiving, highlighting local organizations and ways to give back.
ometimes a family photo and a heartfelt message are all you need.
My Move: I always take a table selfie at our holiday meals. My family knows to expect it by now!
