Editor’s Note: The Post Builder was updated in February 2024. Please check out this blog post for detailed updates.
Today, we are pleased to introduce a new, long-awaited feature: Custom Post Ideas.
So far, you were able to access three types of Post Ideas in Loomly, based on:
- The day of the year: date-specific events, celebrations & holidays.
- The day of the week: popular hashtags & best practices.
- Twitter Trends
- RSS Feeds
Now, you can also create your very own Custom Post Ideas.
This is particularly useful when you need to save the date for:
- Marketing & promotional campaigns (launches & sales).
- Industry and regional event (conferences & awards).
- Corporate milestones (anniversaries & announcements).
You can create Custom Post Ideas from:
- The Post Ideas View:
- The Post Ideas Tab in your calendar Settings:
When you create a new Custom Post Idea, you can:
- Define a start date and an end date (the end date is optional if the Custom Post Idea only lasts one day).
- Indicate whether your Custom Post Idea is a one-off or a recurring event (which can be repeated weekly, monthly or yearly).
- Add a title & description explaining what your Custom Post Idea is about.
- Include a URL to provide additional context about your Custom Post Idea.
Once created, your Custom Post Ideas will show up in:
- The Post Ideas View:
- Post Builder:
