One of McDonald’s posts that received the most engagement was actually published on Halloween two weeks ago. Despite being dated, the post has received many shares which resulted in increased engagement even after the original publishing time.
The page also saw significant engagement from a post published on Monday which was Veteran’s Day in the U.S. This post was text only, something that has become much less common compared to photo posts. Though photo posts have been much more popular, some research has shown text posts regularly outperform photo posts. It’s unclear whether they are more likely to appear in the news feed or simply have more impact so they get more engagement followed by reach.

In contrast, Applebee’s also drew significant engagement for Veteran’s Day, but through a photo post. On Veteran’s Day, the chain ran a promotion which gave a free meal to any Veteran or active-duty military. They also encouraged users to comment on their page with pictures of their visit, sharing pictures from all the different locations. This strategy is a great way to increase content for the page without having to devote more time to creative.
