Is Your Social Media Manager Relying on “National Pancake Day”? Stop it

Posted On March 8, 2016 By lvwithlove In Blog /   No Comments

Some social media managers, marketers, and strategists think it’s great when “National Ice Cream Day” comes along. Some are more than happy when it’s “National Coffee Day.” Some are full of absolute glee because it’s “National Pancake Day” and they should stop it, unless your company happens to be IHOP.

Why? Because it’s absolute laziness at its finest and in its purest form.

The Lehigh Valley is home to anywhere between 700,000 and 850,000 depending on your interpretation of where the valley begins and ends. Trust us, that’s not an argument you actually care to take up on social media. So, let’s just agree that it’s more than 700,000 and less than 900,000.

Posted On November 4, 2015 By lvwithlove In Blog /  1 No Comments

Snapchat is quickly becoming one of the most popular social media apps and networks due in part to its “decaying media” feature.
