Below, we will try to explain the meaning of these two terms as comprehensively as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

Editorial calendar: meaning<\/h3>\n

The <\/span>editorial calendar <\/b>it is a fundamental tool that allows companies to to plan<\/strong>, organize and follow up important anniversaries<\/strong>, providing a valuable reference point for content creation<\/strong> targeted and relevant to be published on business promotional channels (blogs, newsletters, social networks, ...),<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>editorial calendar <\/b>it can have different forms (a Google document, a template on Canva, ...), what matters is that it is well structured, so as to provide an overall view of the goals<\/strong> to be achieved defined in marketing plan<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Deciding on contents, promotions and other aspects of communication from time to time is risky, because you could encounter unnecessary repetitions, miss good opportunities and forget opportunities.<\/span><\/p>\n

Furthermore, a <\/span>editorial calendar <\/b>allows companies to quickly seize marketing opportunities related to anniversaries: by being aware of holidays and significant events, companies can create thematic content<\/strong> and relevant that capture the attention of the target audience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, during the Christmas period, a company can develop promotional content related to gifts and special offers, taking advantage of the festive atmosphere and the desire to shop.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trend: meaning<\/h3>\n

For <\/span>trend<\/b>, or market trend<\/strong>, on the other hand, means the lasting effect that occurs on the market due to a significant movement, either upward or downward. <\/span>Any<\/span> a topic that was previously little talked about and is now talked about a lot can become a trend<\/strong>. <\/span>Analyze i <\/span>trend <\/b>of the moment allows companies to keep up<\/strong> with the expectations and interests of your target customers. <\/span><\/p>\n

An excellent data analysis tool <\/span>trend <\/b>market is represented by Google Trends<\/a><\/strong>, a platform made available free of charge by the search engine and which allows you to monitor and analyze user interest in certain keywords on the Internet.<\/span><\/p>\n

Editorial calendar and trends: are they always a good communication opportunity?<\/h3>\n

Now that we have understood the meaning of both words, let's move on to the second part of this article, that is, understanding whether the recurrences and <\/span>trend <\/b>they are always a communication opportunity for your company and if it is as effective as it seems include them in your <\/span>editorial calendar<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

First of all, it is necessary to make a premise: it should not be abused<\/strong> brazenly of anniversaries <\/span>in one's own <\/span>editorial calendar<\/b>. <\/span><\/p>\n

They are a strong point only if used correctly, but the customer is not foolish and understands whether a content or a themed campaign has been prepared only because it is trending in that period, or because the\u00a0 company philosophy<\/strong> it truly believes in the themes proposed by the anniversaries and there is a genuine intention to promote them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Before planning trending topics in your editorial calendar <\/span>or relating to particular occasions, a business must recognize a certain certainty in them continuity and consistency with its corporate mission<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This doesn't apply so much to occasions like the Black Friday<\/a> or others of that kind, as for anniversaries related to social issues<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let's give some examples about it.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Trending<\/h4>\n

Pride Month: facade trend or reality?<\/h4>\n

We just entered the month of June and every <\/span>editorial calendar <\/b>self-respecting person knows that a in this month is in <\/span>trend <\/b>the <\/span>Pride Month<\/i><\/strong>, aka LGBTQ+ Pride Month.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This annual international event lasts the whole month and is dedicated to the celebration and commemoration of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, etc. culture and pride, but also underlines the importance of the fight for the rights of LGBTQ+ community<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

To plan in <\/span>editorial calendar <\/b>dealing with such sensitive social occasions, it is necessary for a business to make a concrete commitment throughout the year and in the long term in promoting LGBTQ+ inclusion within its corporate philosophy, creating a inclusive work environment<\/strong>, respectful and fair to all employees, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.<\/span><\/p>\n

World Environment Day: facade trend or reality?<\/h4>\n

Another example of an annual recurrence is the World Environment Day<\/strong>. In recent years, the topic of awareness of environmental problems has acquired increasing importance, approaching the sensitivity of many people and causing a lot of discussion among political leaders. <\/span><\/p>\n

For this reason, especially on the occasion of this annual event established in 1974, it is a very trendy topic<\/span>. As a result, many companies don't miss the opportunity to include this topic in their publications<\/span>\u00a0and talk about it, often to gather consensus and improvise a strong, brand identity<\/strong>, which in reality is only a fa\u00e7ade and does not hold up in the long term.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once again, to avoid falling into hypocrisy and falsehood, we must create a solid foundation for coherent decisions and actions<\/strong> before proclaiming themselves promoters of an ecological and eco-sustainable lifestyle in the workplace. <\/span>This could be done raising awareness among employees<\/strong> to adopt solutions in everyday life that can then contribute significantly to reduction of the company's overall environmental impact<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

In this regard, we suggest reading the following article relating to the Italian Green New Deal<\/a>, which provides access, by any industrial activity that requests it, to subsidized financing and non-repayable contributions made available by the Ministry of Economic Development in order to reduce the environmental impact of companies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h3>\n

In conclusion, this article could be reduced to one key phrase: do it first, then talk!<\/strong> Of course, talk about important anniversaries <\/span>and keep up to date on trends <\/span>it is certainly a strong point for every business. <\/span><\/p>\n

However, it is a job that must be done with caution: if you are a company that communicates on social media or on your website's blog, avoid talking about issues that are not your responsibility or that are not really close to your heart. Often, it is a bad impression avoided!<\/span><\/p>\n

If, however, you wish to communicate and, consequently, take a position on certain topics, perhaps listen to our advice taking inspiration from other businesses<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Only by acting concretely in everyday life can a coherent and recognizable narrative be created over time. This helps create a strong and memorable brand identity, which fosters customer trust and affinity.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
