Sure, the month of October is supposed to be spooky and scary with Halloween on its way, but that does not mean it must apply to your insurance marketing strategy! We understand that many agency owners are timid when it comes to blogging , but this should never be the case. Blogging will not only increase traffic to your website, but keep contest fresh—which the search engines love!
Instead of fretting about putting together a blogging editorial calendar, we have 10 topics for you—right here!
10 October Blog Post Ideas
#1: October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Take this opportunity to support the cause by sharing facts, figures, prevention methods, stories and more.
#2: The first week of October is Customer Service Week. Take a moment to highlight your own agency in the blog post spotlight. We know that you take great pride in your customer service skills, so take this time to showcase them.
#3: Local post alert! Find out where there will be apple picking in your area and write up a post! You can get creative by offering apple-inspired recipes, too.
#4: Halloween is right around the corner! There are plenty of Halloween-inspired posts to write, from the healthiest Halloween snacks to child-proofing your yard for Halloween visitors (liability suit, anyone?). You could even take this post a step further by sharing tips for families who create their own haunted houses on their property.
#5: October is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month. Many of your readers may consider celebrating this observance by adopting. This is a great chance to share a few tips with first-time dog owners, and possibly discuss the need for animal liability insurance.
#6: The second week of October is Fire Prevention Week. This is a great topic that could be related to home insurance. You may also want to note that having a fire alarm or other safety devices in a home could result in a discount. Readers love to hear about savings!

#8: Sticking with the scary theme? For a business insurance-related post, you may want to lay out a few “scary scenarios” that could arise if there is no coverage in place.
#9: Carving a pumpkin this season? Share safety tips to avoid liability incidents or accidents.
