110. The Most Common Social Media Mistakes by Companies (And What to Do Instead)

In this episode of the Go Get Great Podcast, I break down why those Canva-style "Happy Holidays," "Merry Christmas," or "Happy Thanksgiving" posts might actually be doing more harm than good for your business. Many brands believe posting holiday graphics helps them stay visible and relatable—but in reality, these posts often become mistakes in social media marketing that lower engagement and confuse the algorithm. I explain why these posts don't perform the way businesses expect and how social media has evolved. I'll also share the future trends of social media in regards to holiday messages and what brands should be doing instead if they want to build engagement, reach new audiences, and grow their business online. If you want to avoid the common social media marketing mistakes that many businesses are still making in 2026, this episode will help you rethink your strategy and create content that actually connects, this episode is for you.   Come Say Hi! https://www.instagram.com/brittanymillersocials/ https://www.brittanymillersocials.ca/ Ready to level up your life and business taking it from good to great?
