Support Local Business With Your Social Media

A recent study showed that 84% of consumers plan to shop small during the holidays.¹ Why not help promote those businesses in your neighborhood, while marketing your own? Consider using a social media content calendar to help you efficiently market your practice and support your community. A content calendar devotes each day to a different topic, helping diversify your content and saving you time when strategizing your posts for the week. 

Use the content calendar below to get started and check out the Premier Edge Marketing Support Shop Local Toolkit to download additional graphics. We have provided photos and copy to use, but we encourage you to use fun photos of your staff and ODs as well.
