Social Media Holiday Calendar for 2020: Embracing JOMO

Social media is a true embodiment of FOMO, the fear of missing out, for many. To be precise, 70% of people aged 25-40 suffer from it, however, not all of them realize that they have FOMO. Fully grasping this is beneficial to businesses as it gives an opportunity to bring more sales or at least generate leads by grabbing people’s attention with a couple of catchy lines in a campaign or an ad. 

Give people a reason to believe they’re missing out on great experiences (or even products), and you strike a chord with crowds to take action. This approach has been effective for years, alas, it often left an unpleasant aftertaste with the audience. 

In 2020, there’s a better solution. Brands can appeal to people through a new phenomenon on the market – JOMO, the joy of missing out. Although it implies that people would simply enjoy living their actual rather than virtual lives, you can still engage with your audience on Facebook, Instagram, or YouTube applying this concept. 

Appeal to people with events and occasions from our social media holiday calendar for 2020 and build a positive image of your brand both with and beyond your audience.
