Social Media Sites Get Seasonal

Fall weather, pumpkin spice, crunchy leaves, shopping, food, presents...the Holiday season is here! This is one of my favorite times of the year, and after keeping track of social media sites, it should be one of the most important times of the year for them too!

First off, it goes without saying that pictures create something within an individual. Just like the creative pyramid used advertising, pictures in social media should catch a fan's attention, keep their interest, prove credibility, create desire, and pursue them to take action. That's ultimately what these sites should be striving to do in every way possible!

Holiday season is an EXCELLENT opportunity for companies and businesses to really get creative and fun with their sites. I think they can all benefit somehow around this time! Think about it, people are shopping...so they have to eat too. People are traveling...so they have to fly (or drive). Anyway you look at it, companies, businesses and restaurants alike are obviously going to get business and will have customer interaction. And what's a great way to lure them in? Pictures of course!

One of my favorite companies, Chick-fil-A, not only does an outstanding job keeping up to date with their sites, they also do a great job sharing pictures with their fan and followers base! Here is one of their most recent RE-tweets of a little kid dressed up as one of the cows for Halloween!

Even smaller local places, such as Nalu's Tropical Take-out, have jumped on the social media AND picture bandwagon while taking advantage of this cooler weather season! Nalu's is known for their delicious burrito's and taco's (you should try them) with their infamous baha sauce. But seasonally, they offer homemade chili's and soups to get their cold, Floridian customers comfortable and satisfied. On their Facebook page, they have posted a picture of a sign promoting their homemade Chicken soup.

We can't talk about the Holiday season without mentioning Butterball! Butterball is known for their easy-to-make whole turkey's that are best sellers around this time of year. They are wise and update their sites multiple times of day during this time. Recently on their Facebook page they posted pictures of their 10th anniversary, including this mouth watering turkey that will be sure to impress customer! Who doesn't love seeing picture perfect photo's of FOOD?!

The Holiday season is just getting started, so stayed tuned for much more to come!
