Our #smallbizsummer Social Media Challenge

We know that summer sometimes can be a quiet, reflective time for small businesses, so we’d love you to join us in our first ever #smallbizsummer challenge on social media – there might even be a prize or two 😘

Starting Monday 31 July, for the month of August, on Mon/Weds/Fri we’ll share a post with a theme for the day, encouraging you to do the same, talking to your followers engaging with them in time for the busiest season ahead 🎄 🥳

If you never know what to post, this challenge is for you 🤩 Use the topic in the daily prompts below, to write a post helping your followers get to know you a little better. Use this challenge to shout about all the amazing work you’ve done so far.

Find the daily prompts below, so you can start planning what to post! Also if helpful use we’ve created some downloadable graphics for you to use on social media and a printout we’ve created (if you’re a ‘write on paper kinda gal’ like me!) which you can use to help plan out your posts for the month.

We really hope you’ll join us in this summer of fun. Whenever you post, simply add the hashtag #smallbizsummer and we will see it!

Feel free to spread the word and invite other business pals to get involved and have a little fun online this summer ☀️

See you on the ‘gram!
