5 tips to keep in mind when planning your 2023 social media calendar

Providing fresh content is key to social media success, especially since 83% of people look for quality over quantity in social media posts. Keep your holiday social media posts as effective as possible this year by implementing these handy social media tips:

Know your social media post specs

Knowing the right image or video size is vitally important when crafting your social posts. The last thing you want is for your business’s social content to be awkwardly cropped, blurry, or unplayable.

There’s no getting around this best practice as video posts will bring you 48% more views and photo posts have a 65% higher retention rate. So, you won’t want your business to miss out on the benefits of using properly proportioned images and videos on social platforms.

Here are the recommended 2023 social media image sizes (in pixels), along with video specs, across platforms:

Facebook:

Profile photo: 170 x 170

When it comes to resizing, there are tons of free or low-cost online tools for visuals, like Canva or other social media management programs, that can help you adjust your content in a pinch.

While we hope social media platforms will someday get together and make it easy on us with a “one-size fits all” rule, check out our handy image and video specification image below:

Don’t be afraid of hashtags…

Hashtags are a social media staple at this point since they “tag” your posts to be easily found—even by users who aren’t following you. You can step up your hashtag game by using custom hashtags to go along with the holidays below. Or, research what common hashtags are used in your industry, and start with those! (PS: Download our 2023 marketing calendar to get hashtag ideas for every season, holiday, and industry!)

…Or emojis

Along with including hashtags in your post captions, be sure to also include emojis in your social media calendar. Emojis can help your business’s posts get more engagement because comments and shares increase by about 33% when emojis are present. Plus, 78% of people say using emojis can make your brand more likable and 63% say they increase your credibility.

Not only that, but emojis help your posts catch your audience’s eye. The fun, tiny images can easily be inserted into your post text and add a festive flair when getting your point across to followers.

Leverage your current followers

You don’t have to drive engagement with new followers alone. Leverage your followers to help you curate social content all year long. For example, you could run a photo or video contest or giveaway, and have your winner be featured on your page.

Social platforms favor accounts that get a lot of interactions. To encourage your audience to comment, like, or repost, you can try strong call-to-actions in your photos, videos, or captions. That way, your followers’ engagement will help you show in news feeds and other areas of social apps more frequently in the future.

Have fun with it

A lasting lesson for this year that gets too often forgotten is to have fun! Social media is a haven for people to learn, connect, and socialize. Always be thinking about what your target audience might be looking for on social media. Whether it be a creative video, an easy-to-digest infographic, or a witty caption, unique social content will set your business apart from the competition.
