New this month
You can bookmark our System Update page for regular updates. Here is a summary of what’s new this month:
- Re-order product variation options: You can now reorder product options within a variation. You can move existing options around easily, or add new ones like extra small and place them exactly where you want. No need to recreate anything, keeping your options organised is now simple.
- Siterank improvements: We’ve made several updates to make the platform clearer and easier to use. These updates help make tracking your search performance simpler and more intuitive.
Things to think about
We've put together some topical social media events to help you with content creation this month:
- April Fools’ Day - 1st April: Share a harmless joke, fake product announcement, or tongue-in-cheek post that your audience can enjoy. Then follow up by revealing the joke. It’s a great chance to show personality.
- Easter Sunday - 5th April: Keep your content uplifting, warm, and seasonal. Share a friendly Easter greeting with spring-themed visuals like flowers, eggs, or pastel colours. You could post a message about new beginnings, positivity, or taking time to recharge.
- National Tea Day - 21st April: Share fun posts asking followers how they take their tea, milk first or last, debates always work. Post behind-the-scenes tea breaks, team favourites, or tea-themed visuals.
- Earth Day - 22nd April: Focus on sustainability, responsibility, and positive action. Share how your business supports the environment, even in small ways, or highlight eco-friendly choices you’ve made. Post simple tips your audience can follow, such as reducing waste or saving energy.
- St. George’s Day - 23rd April: Celebrate English heritage and culture in a simple, respectful way. Share themed visuals using red and white, or a message acknowledging the day and its history. You could highlight local connections, traditions, or fun facts, and invite followers to share how they’re celebrating.
