💡 Posting Schedule Best Practices:

Check your analytics: Use Facebook Insights to see when YOUR specific audience is most active
Be consistent: Posting at regular times helps your audience know when to expect content
Quality over quantity: It's better to post less frequently with high-quality content than to post daily with poor content
Test and adjust: Try posting at different times and track which posts perform best
Consider your audience: Think about when your target audience (local community, supporters) is most likely to be online
Use scheduling tools: Tools like Facebook Creator Studio or Buffer can help you schedule posts in advance
Monitor engagement: Track which times generate the most likes, comments, and shares
Account for time zones: If you have followers outside the UK, consider their local times
Don't overpost: Too many posts can overwhelm your audience and reduce engagement
Plan ahead: Use the Marketing Calendar to plan your content schedule
