2. Share a Labor Day Recipe
Consider hosting a contest for the best BBQ recipe and encourage your followers to submit their recipes for a reward. Then, choose the best recipe and go on Facebook and Instagram to declare the winner!
You could also share BBQ recipes from your station’s staff – invite your social followers to make one of the recipes over the holiday, post a picture on their social pages and tag your station. Reciprocate by sharing their post on your station’s social pages!
