Every year on the first Sunday of August, people celebrate Friendship Day. Millions of friends worldwide exchange greetings, gifts, and sentiments with the utmost warmth, care, and love. It is an excellent opportunity for brands to show their followers not only creative minds but that they care. You can’t miss it, and you know what? Best friends deserve only the best greetings! So we are here to help you make your social media posts on this day as cool as possible. Check it out!

Emotions

The most popular posts always evoke certain emotions in people, attract their attention and make them react. Many social media users love to express their opinions on any occasion, so they will not be deterred by at least clicking on the like button when it comes to emotions. Here are some great examples of how simple photos and text can get you a lot of attention.

This post on the Save the Tiger page got more than 11,000 shares and more than 4,200 comments. 

“Today is a Friendship Day. Will you be my friend?” 

Yes, it’s that simple if you know how to combine a clear message, great mission, holiday, and a cute tiger cub. 

Another great example is a Friendship Day promotion by a haircare brand on Instagram. You’ve seen at least several episodes of Friends, one of the most famous TV shows ever. So, the brand invited their followers to tag someone who is a lot like Ross, Rachel, Phoebe, Joey, Chandler, or Monica in real life and explain why they resemble the character. 

It was an excellent move to celebrate Friendship Day, create a giveaway, get many new followers, reactions, and reinforced brand awareness. Note that when you make an exciting post and ask people to tag someone, it helps communicate your brand to your target audience and far beyond it.

Simplicity

Also, you don’t need to make super-creative posts or think of some important missions behind them. This is the Instagram post by KitKat, and it’s great in its simplicity because you understand the message in seconds, making you go “awww” instantly.
