Everyone loves a good Thanksgiving recipe, and Ripl’s templates make it easy to create eye-catching recipe posts.

For brands looking to deepen their connection with followers, hosting a virtual Thanksgiving-themed event, like a cooking demo or DIY craft session, can be a fantastic way to engage with customers in real-time.

Social Media Strategy: Virtual events foster a sense of community and offer a chance for customers to interact with your brand on a more personal level. Announcing the event on social media builds anticipation and allows followers to RSVP or save the date. Plus, live events are an excellent opportunity to gather content that can be shared afterwards, extending the value of your Thanksgiving marketing efforts.
