Every October, our thoughts turn toward cozy sweaters and all things pumpkin (pies, lattes, muffins …). But are your social channels keeping up with the change in seasons? Join us in sharing the coolest health research and most warming recipes from alive magazine. It’s your content—just use it.
3 social media tactics for October
- Post pumpkin-related content: cats dressed as pumpkins, (naturally sweetened) pumpkin spice lattes, families frolicking in pumpkin patches. Pumpkin has proven to be one of the most popular social media buzzwords for fall.
- Share soup recipes. In a 2015 survey of alive magazine readers, this was the most requested recipe type, with 79 percent of respondents asking for more soup recipes.
- Host a Halloween-related contest through Instagram or Pinterest. Halloween is big business, with Canadian consumers expected to spend $1 billion or more.
