November Instagram Post Ideas

What are we thankful for this November? All the holidays we can get inspired by when planning social media ideas and content calendars! You can get inspired by them too. Here are 10 national holidays worth celebrating on social media this November. 

November 1: National Author’s Day
Who is your favorite author? Is there a book that’s been particularly helpful as you’ve grown your business? Or an author whose books you often recommend to up-and-comers in your industry? Highlight those authors and books today. Use a sticker in your stories to ask followers for some of their author recommendations too.

November 6: Daylight Savings Ends
Post early in the day to remind your followers to turn back their clocks!

November 11: Veterans Day
Today is when the U.S. celebrates and remembers all military veterans and those who served in the United States Armed Forces. If this aligns with your business or personal values, post in honor of veterans today.

November 13: World Kindness Day
At Small Studio, we’re all about working with good humans and leading with kindness. Consider this your reminder to spotlight your business values on social media from time to time.

November 20: World Children’s Day
If you’re in an industry that works with kids, today is one to celebrate.

November 21: World Hello Day
Get inspired by World Hello Day and say hello on social media. Remember there are always new followers discovering you. Show them the brains behind the business, and tell them a bit about yourself. If you have a small team, you could also take this opportunity to briefly spotlight each of them in a team photo or carousel post.

November 24: Thanksgiving
You can keep a Thanksgiving post short and sweet, wishing your followers a Happy Thanksgiving. Or you can dig into some gratitude in your post caption: are you thankful for your supporters, your clients, your friends & family, your journey? Be real with it! Honesty builds trust and connection with your online community.

November 25: Black Friday
Black Friday kicks off the official holiday shopping season. If you’re participating in any holiday promos, keep these next few on your radar.

November 26: Small Business Saturday
We love this one for small businesses. Speak to your size and why being small is to your customers’ advantage. Highlight any specials you’re running today.

November 28: Cyber Monday
If you do business online—selling products or online booking—consider any promotions you might want to run today. Don’t forget about any digital products, too!
