Cue the music: “It’s the most wonderful time of the year…” 🎶 Except when it comes to keeping up with everything on your plate as a parent, spouse, friend, child, sibling, and travel business owner.
How about we make social media fun and engaging, for ourselves and our followers?
As we talked about in our last blog post, one of the common mistakes that travel professionals make this time of year is not continuing to work on their business, specifically when it comes to marketing and staying in front of your clients.
I suggest that we use this time as travel professionals to engage our followers, allow them to get to know us better, and have some fun ourselves. After all, social media is meant to be social, and our followers need a break from all the Holiday noise.
With that, here are some simple and fun holiday social media ideas for travel professionals designed to increase engagement.

Start an “Add Yours” sticker in your stories…
- Something handmade
