So I've put together an inspiration list of things you can post that don't take long to write, don't require much planning and can be used as inspiration more than once.
- Change your banner image, this gets listed as a post (people can like and comment) and you can promote or spotlight a product/service without needing to write any persuasive text.
- Photo/information of your newest product.
- Photo/information of your best seller.
- Details of an upcoming market or event you will be at.
- Details of a retail outlet where your product is sold.
- A photo of where you work, for example your current shop window or workshop bench.
- A photo of a work in progress.
- Updates of your work in progress.
- Link to your latest blog post.
- Link to a past blog post that still has some great useful information.
- Link/photo to another business you're collaborating with on a project.
- Introduce your work helpers, be it employees, kids or pets.
- Testimonial photos/comments (ask first if you can post them on Facebook).
- Photo of parcels ready to be posted to their new homes.
- Welcome message when you have a few new followers.
- Thank you message to all your followers.
- Reminder before you send out your newsletter encouraging people to sign up.
- Any special offers or promotions you have running, and a reminder just before they're about to end.
- Celebrate milestones, eg # years in business, # of Facebook likes, getting through a huge amount of custom orders, you/employee finishing a course to further their career.
- Tips for your clients/customers to get the most out of the products you sell.
Hopefully this gives you some inspiration for the next time you have a posting block when updating your Facebook page.
Don't forget when you have some time to brainstorm a few post ideas, once you've started writing some down more will come!
Are there any other points you would add to this list?
