Fresh Content Ideas For Your Business’ Social Media
As a small business owner, creating fresh and engaging content for your business’s social media can be a challenge. It’s easy to fall into the trap of posting the same old content or even forgetting to post altogether. However, with a little creativity, you can easily spice up your social media presence and engage with your audience in new, exciting ways. In this blog post, we’ll go over some fresh content ideas for your business’ social media that will keep your followers engaged and excited.
Create behind-the-scenes content
Give your audience a glimpse of what goes on behind the scenes. Share photos and videos of your office, your team, and your manufacturing process. Showcasing the inner workings of your business humanizes your brand and increases transparency.
Share user-generated Content
Nothing is more authentic than user-generated content (UGC). Encourage your followers to create content around your brand and share it with you by using a specific hashtag. Reposting UGC not only shows appreciation to your customers but also helps you reach a wider audience
Share customer testimonials
Social proof is a powerful tool when it comes to building trust with potential customers. Share customer testimonials on your social media pages to give your followers a glimpse into the positive experiences others have had with your brand. Not only will this build trust, but it will also encourage others to interact with your brand and potentially become customers themselves.
Start a series
A series of posts can keep your audience engaged over a longer period. It could be a weekly blog post, a monthly video, or a daily quote series. Having a set schedule for these types of posts builds anticipation and helps your audience know what to expect.
Share your experiences and perspectives
Share your thoughts and experiences on current events, news, and trends that are relevant to your industry. Don’t be afraid to express your opinions on topics that matter to you. Authenticity and transparency build trust with your audience.
Use humor
Humor is always a crowd-pleaser. Adding a touch of humor to your posts can make your brand more relatable and approachable. Just make sure to stay within the boundaries of your brand’s personality and values.
Polls and surveys
Engage with your audience by asking for their opinions through polls and surveys on your social media pages. This is a quick and easy way to receive feedback from your followers and get them involved in your brand. You could use this to gather insight on new products or services you’re considering, or even just to get a general idea of what your audience is interested in.
How-to videos
How-to videos are a great way to showcase your expertise in your industry while also providing value to your followers. Consider creating short tutorials on how to use your products or services, or how to solve common problems related to your industry. Not only are these videos helpful to your followers, but they can also position your brand as a thought leader in your industry.
Host contests and giveaways
Contests and giveaways are a fun way to engage with your audience and create buzz around your brand. You could host a photo contest, asking your followers to submit pictures of themselves using your products, for example. Or, you could simply host a giveaway, encouraging your followers to like, share, and comment on your posts for a chance to win a prize. Make sure the prize is relevant and valuable to your followers to ensure maximum participation.
Showcase your team
As a small business, your team is an integral part of your brand. Consider showcasing your team on social media, whether through behind-the-scenes photos, employee spotlights, or team interviews. Not only will this give your followers a glimpse into your company culture, but it will also humanize your brand and make it more relatable.

Have any questions?
We have answers.
Can you help me grow Instagram followers?
We partner with Socialboost to help build Instagram followers. Click the link below to enroll. Plans start at $59/mo.
What photos or videos do you use?
By default, we can use the photos you have on your website as well as utilizing the plethora of photos available to us within our royalty free library.
If you have photos or videos for us to use, depending on your subscription, we welcome you to upload them into a Google Drive folder and share that link with us!
Looking for custom videos? Some of our plans include videos or you can add them to any plan starting at $98/mo!
How do you mimic my branding colors and style?
As mentioned above, depending on your plan, we can use whatever you’d like to provide us! If not, we’ll resort to using your website or our royalty free library.
That being said, we can come up with custom graphics that suit your branding style as an add-on to your posting subscription.
$98/month for 3 custom graphics each week
$148/month for 5 custom graphics each week
Note: The cost of custom graphics is on top of your monthly subscription cost
What is content review & approval?
Content review and approval is where your social media content creator sends you a weeks worth of posts, prior to their designated publication time the following week.
This way, you will have the chance to give us feedback on each post in case you’d like us to make a minor edit.
Note: One round of editing per post permitted, depending on your plan.
What are the results I can expect from your posting services?
The idea behind consistent posting onto your social media pages is to keep them active with content that promotes your business solutions, educates your audience to showcase your expertise and to also keep things lighthearted, it’s social media after all!
There’s nothing worse for a business than to earn someone looking into what you do, only for them to see a barren social media page. To them, it may appear that you are out of business or potentially a scam.
We are often asked about growing followers and generating sales or leads. These are great goals to have but please understand that those goals are better obtained through paid advertising campaigns.
For more information on paid advertising, please visit our paid advertising services.
Do you use a posting scheduler and how do you get access to my business pages?
We are fortunate to be partnered with CloudCampaign.com to utilize their excellent scheduling platform.
By signing up for our content services, we will set you up with your own Cloud Campaign workspace depending on your plan.
During onboarding we request admin access to your social accounts using a secure platform. This allows us to manage the occasional disconnect when the platforms push out updates.
Furthermore, with your own workspace you are welcome to view and edit content at your leisure!
Why do my posts say “Posted by Cloud Campaign”
We use Cloud Campaign, which is a 3rd party app, to scale social media management and posting. When a post says “Posted by Cloud Campaign”, it is only the admins of your company page that can see this and not your followers.
