Coming up with ideas for social media can be challenging! As a vendor, building a strong social media presence goes beyond just listing products and services for sale.

‍

You can create a varied social media mix with content that "editorializes" your products and services and shows them off in new ways, and post some content that educates and inspires your customers, too.

‍

To help with this, we've built a social media content planning calendar for our Champions members to use. The 2026 calendar is the fourth edition.

‍

This calendar is not exhaustive of every single social media holiday — it's intended to be used as a supplement to your product and service listing days to help you fill out your social media plan every month.

‍

Not every date will work for your shop or service — it's up to you to figure out what resonates with you and your individual business.

In this calendar, you'll find:

‍

• 210 events, starting with New Year's Day — 23 new days have been added for 2026
  ‍
• Major holidays to be aware of and/or to use as selling/content opportunities
  ‍
• Other key dates (i.e. national awareness days/retail days/"social media holidays") that can be used as selling/content opportunities
  ‍
• Brief descriptions for some events for context
  ‍
• Several reseller-specific content ideas for each date that you can use (or use as a jumping-off point to create your own)
  ‍
• Related major hashtags associated with that event
