While gratitude has no season, Thanksgiving is an excellent time to express appreciation. There are many ways to show gratitude over the holidays! Here are our tips on how to thank your followers beyond Thanksgiving social media posts.
Engage With Your Followers’ Posts
We're supposed to be social on social media! If you’re not sure how to thank your followers, engage with people on social media when scrolling through your feed. Leave a like, a heartwarming comment, or even a simple statement like "Awesome post!" Engaging on others' posts is an effective way to show gratitude. Your business will be more visible on other people's pages after interacting with them. They will also be more likely to engage with your posts on your page.
Respond to Comments and Direct Messages
If you respond to comments on your organization's social media posts, you will continue the conversation and show appreciation for those who follow you. Additionally, respond to any activity related to your social media page, including direct messages. Developing templated responses for common topics will save you time when answering some questions and comments. This will save you time and ensure that your fan or commenter knows their message was heard.
Post a Simple Thanksgiving Social Media Post
Make your supporters feel appreciated by posting a post about them! You can use social media to showcase the amazing things your company is able to accomplish with support from your online community. You can create custom graphics with your colors, photos, and holiday flair using Photoshop or Canva.
Thank Your Supporters With a Video
A simple video expressing your gratitude can go a long way. Your supporters will appreciate seeing you face-to-face. The video doesn't need to be professional quality — simply recording yourself on your cell phone will be appreciated by your followers.
Organize a Giveaway
A thoughtful way to show gratitude to followers is to give them an opportunity to win a special treat or gift basket. You can share photos of your giveaway on social media and invite people to "like" your page and comment to be entered. Partnering with people in your community can also allow you to co-create a bigger giveaway gift that features their products.
Ask What They Are Thankful For
In one of your Thanksgiving social media posts, you can ask your followers what they are thankful for this holiday season. Engaging your followers on social media with questions is a great way to increase engagement and encourage conversations on your page. Make sure you also respond with your answers! You can demonstrate your company's engagement, interest, and responsiveness by bouncing back and forth on social media.
Ultimately, there are many ways to show gratitude on Instagram, and it isn't an exact science. However, simply saying "thank you" to your followers is enough to keep them engaged and spread some holiday cheer. Here at KP Kreative, we hope your Thanksgiving celebrations will be filled with success and joy!
