What is a social media calendar?

A social media calendar is a strategic solution, tailored for social media teams to plan, track, manage, and schedule content across social media platforms. A social media calendar keeps track of what content has to be posted, the date and time for each post, the creatives of the posts, who owns and approves them, and so on. It helps ensure that social media activities are timely and aligned with broader marketing strategies.

Why should you use a social media calendar?

An efficient social media calendar can help in advanced planning and enhanced coordination. It can also pave the way for consistency in content delivery across multiple social media platforms. By streamlining your social media operations, you can boost productivity, leading to improved metrics and better engagement with your audience.

To save the effort of creating a social media calendar from scratch, you can use a predefined template to organize all your posts and relevant details.

6 key things to consider when choosing a social media calendar template

Using a template is a great way to get things started with managing your social media schedule. But with so many templates available, finding the right one can be daunting.

To begin, understanding your social media practices goes a long way in choosing the right social media calendar. List out some essential details, like the platforms you currently use, the frequency of your posts, the types of content you post, and the audience engagement metrics you track. This should give you an idea of what to look for in a social media calendar.

Here are some other tips that’ll help you choose the right social media calendar:

  • 1. Accommodating and easy to use

    The social media calendar template you use should be intuitive, simple, and easy to navigate for all your team members, irrespective of their tech expertise. It can be the number of times you post in a week, the number of platforms you post on, or the documents/images/PDFs you work on with respect to every post; the template should accommodate all of your social media practices and help you make them more efficient.

  • 2. Efficient data management

    Ensure that the tool/template you choose is compatible with other popular tools, so that you can import data from any source. It should allow you to consolidate information, reduce redundancy, and ensure consistency.

  • 3. Contextual collaboration

    Choose a template that supports multiple team members working and updating in real time on the same template, enabling meaningful collaboration. Going a step further, templates that let you post comments and give feedback on every single item you’re working on will make communication and coordination easier.

  • 4. Better performance tracking

    The template should include fields that can accommodate all your performance metrics—engagement, reach, conversion rate, etc—for every single post and for the profile/account/channel as a whole. It should also let you add notes and insights about these metrics, to help refine future strategies based on the numbers.

  • 5. Scalability

    You’re probably going to increase your posting frequency, add more members to your team, or build a presence on new channels as your brand grows. The tool/template you choose should scale to accommodate all your future needs, without any loss in performance.

  • 6. Presentability

    Functionality is key—no doubt there. However, choosing a visually appealing template can also make it easier to work with on a daily basis, and a sleek and clean look can improve presentations to stakeholders.

Social media calendar template from Zoho Tables

Zoho Tables offers a social media calendar template that you can leverage to manage your social media marketing efforts.

With this template, you can manage details like:

  • Posts

    Create a posting schedule, store content and creatives, and track the status of your posts.

  • Channels

    Keep a list of all the channels that you use for engaging with your audience, along with their metrics.

  • Post owners

    Delegate team members to manage posts, from ideating to publishing, and the details of published and pending posts.

How can this social media calendar template enhance your marketing efforts?

By providing a clear and complete picture of your social media content creation and distribution, this social media calendar template from Zoho Tables helps you stay organized, consistent, and strategic, resulting in more effective and impactful social media marketing efforts.

Here are a few key benefits to using our social media calendar template:

  • Improved organization

    Keep track of what needs to be posted and when, preventing last-minute chaos and ensuring a steady flow of content.

  • Enhanced collaboration and coordination

    From ideating to approval, feedback to suggestions, all efforts made by your social media team are in the same place, eliminating the need for separate email or text threads to keep track of what’s happening.

  • Custom views for every team member

    Everyone on your team doesn’t need access to every piece of data you manage. Tables lets you create individual views for your team members and customize them to suit their needs.

  • Broader view of your content

    Managing all your social media efforts in one place gives you a fuller picture of your posting patterns, the kind of content you create, popular content among your published posts, and more. This helps you understand what’s working and what’s not.

  • Efficient use of time and effort

    By automating progress updates, data updates, and approval processes, our social media calendar template makes sure your time and effort is spent on the right things, not on repetitive and mundane tasks.

  • Future decisions and efforts driven by data

    Managing metrics along with content details lets you analyze how your content is performing and refine strategies based on what works best.

  • Encouraging new initiatives

    Our social media calendar template also lets you collect new content ideas and turn them into a full-fledged social media marketing initiative seamlessly.

Make our social media calendar template your own

Our comprehensive social media calendar template gives you insights into how social media teams normally operate. It also gives you a head start on managing your own social media marketing efforts. But that doesn’t mean you have to use the template as is—you can customize our social media calendar template to fit your organization’s requirements.
