We are open on the holiday, and the working hours are posted in the pinned message. Thank you for being our neighbours and guests.
What to avoid
- Do not use jokes, memes or slang about the state, its symbols or the history; keep the tone calm and respectful
- Do not use national symbols or the flag carelessly in promotions; use them respectfully and accurately
- Do not mix the greeting with aggressive sales; a simple thank-you and hours note is better
When to post
- Prepare the greeting and holiday hours a few days ahead and confirm with your team
- Publish on the morning of 16 December, which falls on a Wednesday in 2026, and update your hours in the profile and stories
- After the holiday, say thank you and return to regular content
What to check afterwards
- Warm comments and shares of the greeting
- Visits or orders from customers who saw your hours note
- Replies in messages, which show whether customers appreciated the update
