12 items to run through before you leave. Your checkmarks are saved locally.
As a business owner, your social media doesn't stop when you're away. With good preparation everything runs on autopilot.
Work through the 12 points in the week before you leave — not the night before. Points such as scheduling posts ahead and building a content stock take a couple of hours; setting up auto-replies and adjusting your opening hours take ten minutes. Click an item to tick it off; your progress is stored locally in your browser, so you can safely carry on tomorrow where you stopped today. Once the counter reads 12/12 you can leave with peace of mind: your page stays active, customers get an automatic answer, and nobody turns up at a closed door without knowing.
The biggest trap is not your holiday — it is the return, when the good habits fade away. If you find planning ahead difficult anyway, read our blog article Automatic posting on social media: does it work? for what does and doesn't work. Also have a look at the other free social media tools, such as the holiday content calendar, to fill your first month back straight away. And if you never want to need a checklist again: let Buddy create and publish your posts automatically — even while you are on the beach.
