Summer’s on its way – hooray! Plan ahead so you can tap into these awareness days, ideal for counsellors and coaches to use on their social media.
Using awareness days is a great way to boost your brand and get in front of new audiences. The best way to go about it is to:
Plan ahead – when you’re scheduling your content, include relevant hashtags on posts going out on awareness days.
Make a note in your diary of the days that will resonate most with your potential clients. Then, when it rolls around, use the hashtag when you engage on that day.
Think about any content you have already – blogs, graphics or visuals – that could be re-shared with the relevant awareness day hashtag.
The first step, though, is working out which days fit your business best. I’ve gone through all the awareness days for June and picked out those that best suit coaches and psychotherapists. The days featured have a wellbeing slant or lend themselves to one.
