This post focuses on relevant Content Calendar for 2025 – Monthly Social Media Campaigns & Eye Disease of the Month.
Target Audience: 45-Year-Old Married Women with Kids
2024 Research, the best-performing educational content formats on each social media platform are:
- Facebook: Short videos, carousels/slideshows, and engaging infographics. Interactive posts like polls also perform well.
- Instagram: Carousel posts for educational tips, Reels for quick how-to videos, and Stories with interactive elements (polls, quizzes).
- LinkedIn: Informative slide decks (PDF carousels), professional infographics, and thought-leadership videos.
Animated explainer videos and doodle videos can also drive engagement across platforms when they are short and visually appealing.
To maximize engagement across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, consider the following platform-specific content strategies:
Facebook:
- Short-Form Videos: Create concise, engaging videos that capture attention quickly. These are highly favored by Facebook’s algorithm and resonate well with users.
- Carousel Posts: Share multiple images or a mix of images and videos in a single post to provide comprehensive information in an interactive format.
- User-Generated Content (UGC): Feature content created by your audience to build community and trust. UGC is authentic and often garners higher engagement.
Instagram:
- Reels: Produce short, entertaining videos up to 90 seconds long. Instagram prioritizes Reels for discovery, making them essential for reaching new audiences.
- Carousel Posts: Use carousel posts to share educational content, allowing users to swipe through multiple images or graphics. This format encourages longer engagement times.
- Stories with Interactive Elements: Utilize polls, quizzes, and question stickers in Stories to engage your audience actively and gather feedback.
LinkedIn:
- Document Posts: Share informative PDFs or slide decks directly on LinkedIn. These posts encourage users to click through and engage with your content.
- Thought Leadership Articles: Publish in-depth articles on industry trends and insights to establish authority and foster professional discussions.
- Professional Infographics: Create clear, data-driven infographics that provide value to your network, facilitating shares and engagement.
General Best Practices:
- Consistency: Maintain a regular posting schedule to keep your audience engaged and informed.
- Quality Visuals: Invest in high-quality images and videos to enhance the professionalism and appeal of your content.
- Platform Optimization: Tailor your content to fit the specific dimensions and features of each platform for optimal display and engagement.
Google My Business (GMB)

- Photo & Video Updates: Share high-quality images of your office, staff, and behind-the-scenes moments. Short videos highlighting services or promotions perform well.

- Posts for Offers/Events: Use the “Posts” feature to promote special offers, events, or new services. Keep posts concise with a clear call-to-action (CTA).
- Q&A Section: Actively manage and answer common patient questions about services, pricing, or hours.
TikTok
