Curators Tell Stories in Galleries — Social Media Tells Them to the World
Museum teams are stretched across exhibit development, education programming, fundraising and visitor services. Social media often falls to whoever has a spare moment, resulting in inconsistent posting and missed opportunities to drive attendance. PostPlanify ensures your institution stays visible and engaging online.
Plan exhibit campaigns in advance
Schedule the full promotional arc — teasers, opening, mid-run highlights, closing reminders — when you plan the exhibit, not the week it opens.
Turn your collection into content
Your institution holds thousands of stories. PostPlanify helps you systematically share them through recurring series and educational content schedules.
Measure what drives visits
Track which content — exhibit previews, conservation stories, event promos — generates the most engagement and correlates with attendance spikes.

How Museums Professionals Use PostPlanify
Real scenarios showing how PostPlanify fits into your workflow
Mid-Size Art Museum
A regional art museum with 4-6 rotating exhibits per year, a permanent collection, education programs and an annual fundraising gala.
The communications team is two people handling PR, social media, the newsletter and donor relations. Social media posting is reactive — something goes up when there's news, but the weeks in between are quiet.
Use PostPlanify to build recurring series — Object of the Week, Conservation Monday, Family Activity Friday — that run year-round. Layer exhibit campaigns on top for openings and closings. Schedule the gala campaign three months out.
A consistent, professional social presence that reflects the museum's curatorial quality. Attendance grows because the community sees fresh content every day, not just during exhibit openings.
Children's Science Museum
An interactive science center with hands-on exhibits, school group programs and weekend family events.
Parents choose weekend activities on Thursday and Friday. If the museum hasn't posted recent, exciting content, families pick other options.
Schedule weekly content that peaks Thursday-Saturday: experiment teasers, "this weekend" event reminders, family UGC reposts and live Stories from Saturday programming. Use TikTok for viral science clips.
Weekend attendance increases because families see the museum as an active, exciting option in their social feeds at the exact time they're making plans.
History Museum Development Director
Leads fundraising and donor relations for a historical society museum with membership programs and annual campaigns.
Membership drives happen twice a year, but social media doesn't support them consistently. Donors feel recognized at galas but forgotten in between.
Schedule year-round membership content — benefit highlights, member stories, exclusive event promos — with intensified campaigns during drive periods. Add monthly donor recognition posts and sponsor thank-yous.
Membership retention improves because members see ongoing value. New sign-ups increase because benefits are visible in feeds year-round, not just during campaigns.
Loved by solo creators & agencies ❤️

I love it! I fired my social media manager and now just use postplanify.

Why Museums Need Consistent Social Media
Visitors decide where to spend their weekends based on what they see in their feeds. Museums that post regularly — exhibit previews, collection highlights, family activity reminders — stay top of mind when people are making plans. A scheduler ensures your institution is visible every day, not just during exhibit openings.
Turn Your Collection into a Content Library
Most museums have thousands of objects, artworks or specimens, each with a compelling story. PostPlanify makes it easy to systematically share your collection through recurring series like Object of the Week, Conservation Spotlight or Curator's Choice. Your collection becomes a year-round content source.
Promote Exhibits from Teaser to Closing Day
The best exhibit marketing starts months before opening and continues until the final week. PostPlanify lets you schedule the full promotional arc — teaser reveals, curator commentary, opening night coverage, mid-run highlights, press quotes and "last chance" closing reminders.
Engage Multiple Audiences with One Calendar
Museums serve families, students, scholars, donors and community members. PostPlanify's content calendar helps you balance content for every audience — educational posts for learners, event promos for families, donor recognition for supporters and scholarly content for academic partners.
