  Things are kicking off

  National Guac Day may have already started in some countries.

  We use the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and so typically we'll see people in Europe talking about Guac a few hours before the US starts to wake up. Don't forget about these people too as the first few tweets sent are key for visibility and the liklihood that a day will be shared widely.

  Identify the key influencers and engage in the conversation :D

Writing Engaging And Shareable Content For Social Media

Twitter
• Using Twitter's image functionality can get a 3X higher engagement rate.
• Mix tweets with relevant images and tweets with clear calls to action for your followers, to share and celebrate National Guac Day with their friends
• Connect with us @WhatNDII we'll try to retweet you promptly :)
Facebook
• Aim to use Facebook slightly differently than Twitter. We find focussing less on short snappy tidbits and more on engaging content works well.
• If you have or can create video content, try to include some amongst your posts.
• Focus on getting people to share the content you are producing, how can you word things to make them most appealing for people to share with their friends.
• People are most active on Facebook at certain times of the day, you may find people sharing things in the evening, or on people's lunch breaks in the middle of the day works very well. Experiment, see how engaged people are the day before, by checking out our 'National Days Tomorrow' page.
