We are all so close to the end of the year—less than two weeks, to be exact—and if you are like me, you are looking forward to spending a little extra time with your favorite people and taking a break from social media. If you are a small business owner or even a content coordinator like me, it may feel difficult to be fully away from your social media accounts, but we all deserve to enjoy the holidays.
In order for that to happen, you can batch-create and preschedule your social media content. If you are feeling overwhelmed and cannot think of any posts to create, here are five social media content ideas and starter captions that you can batch and schedule TODAY so you can check one more thing off your to-do list.
Wrap It Up and Reflect
Raise your hand if you LOVE seeing your Spotify Wrapped recap. If so, you can create your own year in review. Celebrate what you, your team, and your business have accomplished this past year by creating content that highlights key milestones. You can share achievements, product launches, or any notable events that shaped your year. Create a design like an infographic or a photo collage using a Canva template to make the post look fabulous and shareable.
Caption Starter::
Reflecting on a year of growth, challenges, and triumphs, we want to share it all with you!

Here’s to more success in the coming year! 🎉 #YearInReview #SmallBusinessSuccess
Express Gratitude
Express gratitude to the people who have supported your business. This can be customers, clients, and followers. Write a heartfelt message thanking them for their loyalty and contributions. Consider creating a front-facing reel speaking your gratitude or a quick video of you writing “Thank you” and sharing details in the caption.

Year-End Discounts and Promotions
Are you a product-based business? Encourage end-of-year sales by offering exclusive discounts or promotions on items that you would like to clear out. Create content showcasing your special offers, and use compelling copy to convey a sense of urgency. This can work for service-based businesses as well. If you need help thinking of a promo, let us know!

Shine a Spotlight on Your Team
Customers love to know the BTS of your business, and featuring your team members in a year-end employee spotlight post is a great way to give a peek behind the curtain. You can share multiple photos from the year in a carousel post, anecdotes, or fun facts about each team member in the caption.
This not only humanizes your brand but also fosters a sense of community!

Let your audience know what exciting things they can expect from your business in the coming year. Add a call to action for them to your emails to be the first ones to get updates.
