Social media content planning is the process of creating and scheduling your posts across the channels your business uses. It involves deciding what to post and when to post it. Social media content planning helps you to achieve goals like increased visibility, engagement, or brand awareness.
A well-planned campaign will help you create posts in batches to optimise efficiency. It can then be used in a cross-platform campaign for maximum impact. Here are our suggestions for social media posts for the next three months.
