November arrives and the instinct is to slow down. But while your competitors go silent, the smartest agents use Thanksgiving as a strategic season to nurture their network and build a powerful pipeline for Q1.
Don't guess what to post. Here are the five strategic posts you should have in your content calendar this month to build trust, generate leads, and stay top-of-mind. Each one is designed for maximum impact and can be created in minutes with our new Thanksgiving Collection.
1. The Market Myth-Buster Reel
When to Post: Early November
Why It Works: This post immediately establishes your authority. You're not just a salesperson; you're a market strategist. By confidently debunking the myth that the holidays are a "bad time to sell," you attract the most serious and motivated clients who are ready to act.
Your Tool: The Market Myth-Buster Reel. This template breaks down the core advantages of the holiday market—lower inventory and more motivated buyers—in a quick, shareable video that positions you as the expert.
2. The "Shop Local" Lead Magnet
When to Post: Mid-November
Why It Works: This is how you generate leads without being salesy. By creating a valuable guide to a local favorite—like the best bakeries for Thanksgiving pies—you become a community insider. Offering the full guide in exchange for a DM is a simple, effective way to start conversations and build your list.
Your Tool: The Thanksgiving Pie Guide Carousel. It's a proven lead magnet that provides genuine value, supports other local businesses, and generates massive goodwill.
3. The Actionable "Hosting Tips" Video
When to Post: The week of Thanksgiving
Why It Works: This content gets SAVED. As your audience prepares to host guests, a Reel with simple, actionable tips on making their home guest-ready is incredibly valuable. It positions you as a helpful resource for all things home, not just transactions.
Your Tool: The Guest-Ready Tips Reel. Share 3-4 easy hacks for hosting. This is a quick win that keeps your brand top-of-mind in a helpful, non-intrusive way.
4. The Sincere Thanksgiving Day Greeting
When to Post: Thanksgiving Day
Why It Works: Today, all business talk stops. A simple, elegant, and heartfelt message of gratitude is the most powerful marketing you can do. It's a non-transactional touchpoint that builds a genuine personal connection with your entire sphere.
Your Tool: The Elegant Thanksgiving Day Greeting Posts. These templates are designed to be clean and sincere, conveying a simple message of thanks without any hint of a sales pitch.
5. The High-Engagement "Community Debate"
When to Post: Thanksgiving Weekend
Why It Works: After the holiday, people are relaxing and scrolling. A fun, low-stakes debate is the perfect way to spark a flood of comments and engagement. Everyone has an opinion on pumpkin vs. apple pie or canned vs. homemade cranberry sauce.
Your Tool: The Great Thanksgiving Debate Reels. These animated templates are designed to be bright, fun, and eye-catching, making it easy for your followers to jump into the conversation.
Here are my 4 quick tips to make it work:
- Plan Your Pillars. Your content should rotate between demonstrating Expertise, celebrating Community, providing Value, and showing Gratitude. This list gives you a template for each.
- Batch Your Content. Use our templates to create your entire month of Thanksgiving content in a single afternoon. This saves you dozens of hours and ensures you stay consistent.
- Engage Authentically. The template is the start. Personalize the captions with your own voice. When people comment on your "debate" post, reply and have fun with it. The goal is to start conversations.

- Provide a Clear Call to Action. Guide your audience. A simple "DM me for the full guide" or "What's your favorite?" encourages the interaction that builds relationships.
This Thanksgiving, you can go quiet and hope for a busy spring, or you can execute a plan that guarantees you start the new year with a pipeline of warm, trusting clients.
