Be open and honest
As long as you have considered your customer’s needs and have clearly communicated with them you might be in a position that adding some evergreen content last optimum times might be all you need to create to allow you to take that precious time off for the festive period. Most businesses and employees will have the same holidays and won’t be surprised to know that your business may also have holiday plans. Just make sure you let your customers know via social media of the business’s expectations and availability over the festive period.
Finally, don’t stress, if you have a social media strategy in place and have spent 51 weeks of the year creating quality content and engaging with your audience then most customers will still be there when you return to social media after a brief break.
If content creation is the hardest part make sure you keep in the loop by sharing and interacting with your news feeds to keep your business in mind.
