Plan your 2027 in one afternoon
Keep the dates above that fit
Cross out any your customers don't care about, and add your own: your anniversary, events, launches and slow weeks.
Work back from each date
Put a first post one to two weeks before, a reminder a few days before and a post on the day.
Make a month of posts at once
Make them in one sitting and schedule them, so a busy week doesn't leave your feed empty.
The easier way
- Socialhand plans each month for your nail salon with these dates in it, using a holiday only where it fits.
- It makes the posts in your brand and posts them to all 8 platforms once you approve, or on autopilot.
- Plans start at $97 a month, and you can try it free first.
