Important days of September

Let us discuss all the important days of September, along with the social media posting ideas for September

Labor Day (1st Monday of September)

While preparing food, both the person who brings vegetables and the one who cooks are important, because both roles are needed to make a meal. Similarly, for building our society or our world, the one who gives order and the one who executes it are important.

That is why celebrating all the stages of the work ladder is important. On the first Monday of September, Labor Day is celebrated to honor the efforts and achievements of American workers. Without them, it is impossible to imagine any structure or building block.

This day is a holiday, so people are relaxed and have more time to scroll through social media posts.

How to promote your business on social media with September posting ideas

While posting on all important days of September is important, it is not enough for marketing.

If you want to constantly be present in your audience’s minds, show up every time, be it on important days or normal days.

Consistency matters more. But being consistent is not a cup of tea; being productive every day, creating content, editing them, writing captions, hashtags, etc., is not an easy task

Did you ever wish that there could be an assistant who could create content in your style and tone, and in a few seconds?

We have that tool, and you can try it for free.

Do not market directly, use bridge posts

While you are posting for awareness days in September, do not promote your business directly; use bridge posts or follow-up posts.

For example, after the awareness post, the next post sounds like,

“How we help teams stay prepared digitally.”

or

“How our service supports business continuity” (The next post connects the topic to your product or service.)

Appreciate first, promote later

On Hispanic Day or Labor Day, first you should appreciate the workers or appreciate the cultural differences, then promote your brand.

For example, Today we celebrate the people who make work possible.

As a small thank you, we’re offering 25 % off on all our products.”

Or, this Hispanic Heritage Month, part of our focus is giving back.

We’re supporting organizations that uplift Hispanic communities through education and opportunity.

Proud to stand with the people who make our communities stronger. Here is a coupon “STEAL20”, which you can use to avail 20 percent off on our services.

Promote silently via comments, replies, or stories.

As we discussed, September is a silent month. You cannot promote loudly while posting for awareness days, heritage days, etc.

So, you can post awareness in your feed but promote it via your social media stories (Instagram stories, WhatsApp stories, etc) or comments.

For example, for the Voter Registration Day post

Main post

Today is National Voter Registration Day.

A reminder to check your registration status if you haven’t already.

Comment by the brand

We’ve added a link to official resources in our bio for anyone who wants to check quickly.
