Social Media is a great tool to use to help promote and build your business, but having to come up with new content can be a drag. Here are 4 content prompts you can use for the next time you’re stuck in a creative rut. 

Testimonials

“It’s not bragging if you can back it up.”-Muhammad Ali 

Posting testimonials from your clients is a great way to directly show your clients and potential clients that not only are you good at what you do, but you’re great! When others see testimonials on a regular basis, it can help instill confidence in them that you are the right person for the job! 

Social Media Stories (Quick, Yet Important Content)

Sharing content on your social media stories is a fun way to interact with your audience in a different way than you would normally do. Try snapping a behind the scenes photo or video on the project you are working on or of your work space- don’t forget to hashtag #bts (Behind The Scenes) to get a further reach! 

Stories are also an amazing way to learn about what your audience wants to see from you. Posting interactive stories like “This or That” or asking a question can allow your audience to engage with you on a more personal level. 

Announcements

Do you have some exciting news you would like to share? It could be a new product that is launching soon or a special sale that you want to offer your customers! Use Announcement as an opportunity to add a flair of excitement to your content! 

Images/ Videos (The Content That Keeps Giving)

What would Social Media be without pictures and videos? Sometimes it’s hard to get new, unique and original content. Share yourself or your team. Make it human, make a connection and show who is behind your social account and your company. We find that showcasing pictures of yourself and your team has a positive outcome with increased engagement on social media. 

If you can, hire a photographer and/or videographer to follow you around for the day, or bring them to an event you are working on. You can get a ton of images/videos that you otherwise wouldn’t normally be able to capture. You can then use these photos and videos for any of the content that we talked about earlier! 

Having to be constantly creative can be hard, but with these content prompts, you can be prepared for the next time you need content- or contact us! Rosewood offers a range of marketing services that can fit every business owner’s needs, from professional photography and videography to social media marketing and account management.

Canva is such an amazing tool when it comes to content creation and it’s our go-to. While creating content can be fun, it can also be time-consuming, so we’re giving you our top 3 tips and tricks to have on hand while using Canva that will not only make creating content faster, but more enjoyable. 

Tip Number 1: Utilizing the Brand Kit

Tip Number 2: Content Batching

Content batching can and will be a time saver. You can batch for the week or even the month. What is Content batching? It is creating a large amount of your content at once. Instead of trying to sit down every day to come up with new content, batching will alleviate this stress. One of our favourite ways to speed up content batching while using Canva is to have templates ready to use. If you have recurring posts that you would like consistency with, why not have a template ready to use. That way all you need to do is drag and drop your new image, and change what the text says. Doing this saves you from hunting for the same themes, icons and elements that were used in previous posts. 

Tip Number 3: Staying Organized 

It may be simple to think about, but staying organized in Canva can make a huge difference while using the platform. Canva allows you to create teams, and folders to store all of your content in. One of our favourite features is starring our most used folders. This keeps them available to access at all times in the left menu. Keeping organized will also come in handy when you Content Batch. If you are batching for the month, you can store everything for each month in one folder, making it easy to track down your next post.
