It’s October – the month of skeletons, spooky playlists, and realizing you haven’t posted on social media since July. (We see you. We are you.)
The good news? North of Eight Design & Marketing is fluent in the language of oops-I-forgot-to-post-again. You don’t need a cauldron of content ideas or a film crew to keep your page alive. Here are a few scary simple ways to remind your audience you still exist – and that you’re way more fun than your competitors.
So, grab a pumpkin-spice whatever, cue up your Halloween playlist, and copy these post ideas before the end-of-year chaos hits.
Idea #1: Pick Your Poison Polls
- Here’s an easy engagement hack: ask your followers to choose between two fall favorites.
- Try “pumpkin spice or apple cider,” “scary movie or cozy comedy,” or the always-controversial “candy corn – yes or please stop?”
- It’s quick, it’s interactive, and it gives your audience a simple way to connect with you without adding more to your plate.
Idea #2: Behind the Screams
- Show your followers what’s happening behind the curtain – whether you’re decorating the office, setting up fall promos, or eating your weight in mini Snickers.
- It doesn’t have to be perfect. The messy, real, human moments are often the most relatable (and most engaging).
Idea #3: Treat Yourself (and Your Followers)
- Run a simple, low-effort giveaway to drive engagement and spread a little fall cheer.
- Think: “Tag a friend who needs caffeine and win a gift card.”
- It’s cheap, cheerful, and guaranteed to boost interaction faster than a candy rush.
Idea #4: October Q&A
- Ask your followers what they’d like to see more of from you before the end of the year.
- It’s a simple way to spark engagement, gather fresh ideas, and show that you’re paying attention to what your audience actually wants.
