Behind every consistent brand is a smart content calendar. It's not just a planning tool—it's a strategic weapon.

At Duco İstanbul, our calendars balance storytelling, sales, community, and culture.

1. Start with Pillars

Break your content into 3–5 recurring themes:

  • Product Education
  • Behind the Scenes
  • Testimonials / Social Proof
  • Cultural Moments
  • Campaign Promos
2. Mix Formats & Intent

Balance visuals, videos, and text.

  • Educational carousel
  • Trend-based reel
  • Poll or AMA

Each week should balance awareness, engagement, and conversion.

3. Use Real Data

Use platform analytics to:

  • Find top-performing time slots
  • Repurpose evergreen content
  • Know what to stop doing
4. Schedule & Adapt

Use tools like Notion, Later, or Buffer. Leave room for real-time content (trends, reactions).

Consistency isn't about rigidity. It's about having a rhythm that's smart, agile, and on-brand.
