If you have been running a social media page for a while, or you are brand new to running a page you may be finding it difficult thinking of social media content ideas! We know, we’ve been there! So, the team has started to put together a list of great content ideas you can use regardless of your industry, or preferred social platform.
We will be spending a bit of time updating this list over the coming weeks, so why not join our Facebook group here http://bit.ly/2K0IlUB and we will let you know when we’ve added to it, plus we will be sharing other digital marketing secrets.
Fill-in-the-blanks posts(e.g. “If I had a million pounds I would _________”)
Create a Poll: While Facebook and Twitter offer built-in polls, we like running them manually works best for boosting engagement for example “Which of these logos is your favourite, answer A, B, C etc?”)
Candid photos: Take ‘behind the scenes’ shots of yourself, your employees, or snap a shot of your office or work-space.
Numbers: Share new, relevant industry statistics. We find that these often perform really well in terms of tweets and re-shares.
Post a link to an old blog post: If you run a blog, rewrite and refresh old content. Recycled and repurposed content will gain new engagement and save you time.
Questions: Pose simple, basic questions that your followers can answer quickly.
Post a branded image: Post a funny or inspirational image with your logo or website URL on it.
Quotes and sayings: Humorous, inspiring or motivational quotes always perform well and are often shared.
Infographics: Find an infographic your followers would appreciate.
Product photos: If you sell physical items this is great, especially if they are seasonal or trending. For example, a bar or hotel may post a picture of a cooling summer cocktail on a hot day, while a nail technician could post festive nail art shots in the run-up to Christmas.
Ask for input on your products: Your followers will love giving their thoughts on how to improve your products.
Behind-the-scenes product shots: Photos of your products being manufactured or sourced.
Photos that have nothing to do with your products or business: For instance, if you are an advocate of local business, post images of the local area to show people the feeling behind your brand.
