Dos and Don’ts for Memorial Day Weekend Content
Today is Memorial Day in the United States. Have you planned content for your brand pages? Careful there… this post has lots of examples of brand posts that worked, and those that did not work. And why. Amazon, Petco and Trident did well, while Cinnabon, IHOP and Hooters missed the mark last year. Don’t be the one to miss the mark this year. If you’re planning a tribute, make sure it follows these best practices.

Here’s the entire planning calendar including what content dominates what months, courtesy of Pinterest.
And finally, if you missed the changes that Twitter announced this week regarding character limits and more, take a quick read here. Things are a’changin.
