Tips for Successful Seasonal Content
Writing seasonal blog posts is one of the best ways to keep your content fresh and your readers excited about your work.
While evergreen content can maintain consistent traffic all year round (more or less), seasonal content is great for the shorter (yet often more significant) bursts of traffic — which just means more readers, subscribers, and money for you!
Here are some tips to help you create the best seasonal blog posts:
1. Plan Ahead
There is nothing worse than scrambling at the last minute to get a seasonal blog post up before the time has passed. Not only is this stressful, but you will not be able to produce your best work this way.
Instead, create a content calendar that outlines the upcoming seasons, holidays, and events relevant to your niche. This will help you plan your blog posts well in advance.
2. Truly Understand Your Audience
Get to know exactly who you are writing to and for.
Consider the interests and needs of your target audience during different seasons. Tailor your content to address their seasonal preferences and challenges.
For example, if you’re writing for busy moms, you’re going to want to consider their need for convenience, speed, and ease. If you’re writing for college students, you are going to want to consider their budget, lifestyle, and schedule.
3. Research Trends
As we approach a new season, keep your eye on magazine covers, media outlets, Pinterest, social media, and celebrity news.
Stay updated on current trends and topics associated with each season. This will help you create content that is relevant, resonates with your audience, and capitalizes on popular themes that they will be looking for that season.
4. Be Authentic
Stay true to yourself, your brand, and your niche. If you are strictly a travel blogger the other 3 seasons of the year, but switch to back-to-school tips for moms in the fall, your audience is going to feel super confused.
While it’s important to align with the season, make sure your content remains authentic to your brand’s voice and values.
5. Go the Extra Mile
Get creative. Take a general idea for the season and make it your own. Think beyond the basics!
Explore creative angles, personal stories, or unique insights that can make your seasonal content stand out.
6. Mix Evergreen and Seasonal Content
There are major perks to both forms of content – evergreen (relevant year-round) and seasonal.
Evergreen helps maintain a consistent flow of recurring traffic, while seasonal helps for exciting traffic boosts around certain times of the year.
For the best traffic and engagement, create a mix of both! Your audience will love this.
7. Use Visuals
Utilize visuals to really level up your blog posts and set the tone for the season.
Whenever possible, incorporate seasonally appropriate images, graphics, and videos to make your blog posts visually appealing and engaging.
8. Write Posts in Advance
You need to give seasonal content a bit of a buffer in terms of time. It can take months for Google or Pinterest to index, recognize, and rank your post.
If you are posting too late, you may have missed your chance for some really valuable pageviews!
Create and schedule your seasonal blog posts in advance to ensure they’re published at the right time.
I recommend posting a blog about 3 months before it’s peak performance in search.
9. Craft Catchy Titles
Let’s be real – titles are ultimately what determine if your reader will click on your post or not.
Your blog post title should grab readers’ attention and clearly convey the seasonal theme or topic.
Use related adjectives, numbers, and intriguing language to pique your readers’ interest.
10. Provide True Value
Never just write a post in an attempt to rank. Always keep your reader’s time and needs in mind.
Make sure your seasonal posts offer valuable information, entertainment, or solutions related to the season. This will help build trust with your audience and keep readers engaged and returning for more.
11. Write for Them
While sharing personal experiences is amazing for cultivating community (do that too!), don’t forget that your readers are most often visiting to solve a problem or seek advice.
They want to know how you can help them. Provide helpful, educational, or inspirational content that will actively help your reader – then sprinkle in some personal anecdotes wherever you see fit!
12. SEO, SEO, SEO
Proper SEO is crucial for blogging success.
Whether on Pinterest or Google, use relevant keywords associated with the season to improve your blog post’s visibility in search engine results.

13. Encourage Engagement
Build community through encouraging engagement!
End your blog posts with a call to action that encourages readers to leave comments, share their own experiences, connect with you on socials, or ask questions related to the topic.
14. Promote on Social Media
Social media is your BFF when it comes to seasonal content. With greater in-the-moment reach potential, sharing your blog posts on social media can get eyes on your content FAST.
15. Repurpose Content
As bloggers, we all know our to-do lists are often endless. Take some of the pressure off by leaning on the content you’ve already created!
Consider repurposing seasonal content from previous years with updates or fresh insights.
Revamp a previous season’s blog posts by:
- updating the year (if included)
- checking and updating links
- adding new content where needed
- updating information when necessary
- adding new graphics, resources, or visuals
Give past you a pat on the back for producing such wonderful content that you can repurpose it year after year. Bonus!
Seasonal blog posts are a great opportunity to connect with your audience, showcase your expertise, and add variety to your content strategy.
By following these tips, you can create engaging and impactful seasonal blog posts that keep your readers coming back for more all year round.
