November can be a hectic time of year with your agency focused on Q4 renewals and winning new business.  With things being so busy, it can be easy to let certain tasks slip. Often, one of the first things to go is your social media management, but that’s a mistake.

November is the perfect time to try out some social media planning. Set aside some time to map out your social media posts for the month. By scheduling your posts ahead of time, you can take one item off your daily task list and not worry about letting your social media slip.
