Carving pumpkins, bobbing for apples, navigating corn mazes… fall is full of fun! From harvest festivals, to Halloween and Thanksgiving, read on for some great seasonal content ideas to excite your members and local sponsors.
Festive Sweepstakes and UGC Contests
Increase audience engagement with some timely, fun fall contests! Sell a sponsorship to a local grocery chain and post a Thanksgiving Feast Sweepstakes, awarding a lucky winner everything they need to host a delicious holiday dinner for their friends and family. A local corn maze or pumpkin patch would also make a great sponsor for a fall-themed prize package.
With User-Generated Content (UGC) contests, your audience can showcase their fall spirit! Challenge your members to showcase their carving skills in a UGC Jack-o-Lantern photo challenge. Let parents show off their adorable kids’ costumes or host a Best Pet Costume contest so your members can submit their share-worthy dog and cat pictures. Boost engagement by securing a local pet store to provide a gift card to the entry that receives the most votes.
Or why not whet your members’ appetite with a Pic-Worthy Dishes contest? This fun UGC opportunity would allow your audience to share pictures and recipes for their tastiest Thanksgiving dishes. Sell a sponsorship to a local grocery store or farmer’s market and award the member with the winning entry a gift card or shopping spree to stock up on ingredients for this year’s holiday feast.

Fun Fall Polls
From classic costumes and favorite trick-or-treat candies to pumpkin-flavored goodies and tasty Thanksgiving dishes, your audience is sure to have plenty of opinions! Weekly or daily polls throughout the season are a great way to engage your members by letting them pick their favorite monster movie, choose between apple cider and pumpkin lattes, or select their favorite fall festival activity.
Haunted Brackets
Let your audience crown the ultimate spooky champions! Run a Monster Mash bracket to determine the scariest classic monster, or create a Scary Movie Showdown to pick the most spine-tingling horror film. Maximize potential engagement by securing a local costume store or Halloween pop-up shop as a sponsor, and provide a winning participant with a gift card or shopping spree.
