1. Address and solve a problem

2. Post relevant content with daily hashtags

3. Celebrate funny and unusual holidays

Did you know that January 11th is “Learn Your Name in Morse Code Day”, or that October 1st is “International Coffee Day”?

4. Share relevant industry news

Sharing news, articles and stories relevant to your industry is a great way of connecting with your audience. Besides offering your audience information and reading material that they may find useful, even if it is someone else’s content, it shows that you are informed and remain up-to-date on industry news.

5. Take your audience behind-the-scenes

Behind-the-scenes posts are great for building relationships and trust with your followers. They give clients an intimate experience of your brand, which tends to humanize your company.

Is your business a bakery? Give your customers a sneak peak of you preparing the ingredients used to make the bread you sell or the cakes you display in the shop windows. Are you an architect? Post a photo of a client’s home while it is still in construction. It doesn’t matter if everything isn’t perfect, if piping is showing or if the walls are still bare with no paint – these posts and images show people that you love what you do. In the image, we see how Barcelona-based SMD Arquitectes uses Instagram to give its audience behind-the-scenes views of their renovations in progress.

6. Shine a spotlight on your customers and supporters

Make your customers and supporters feel appreciated for doing business with you and take the opportunity to promote them in the process. They will love you for it and make them feel even more connected and valued by you and your business.
Is one of your valued customers also a small business owner? Take the opportunity to thank them for working with you or shopping in your store, while discreetly promoting their business in the process, possibly adding a link to their social media profile. In this way, not only are you strengthening your relationship with them as clients, but ideally, you are also capturing the attention of their followers.
An idea could be to dedicate Fridays to customer appreciation. Simply add a #FollowFriday hashtag to the post thanking them and including a link to their username (or handle as it is called).

7. Share your blog posts, old and new

If your website has a blog, then you have loads of content at your disposal. Share a link to your latest blog post, or re-post the link to an older blog post. When sharing blog posts it is advisable to include a short and snappy introduction in order to entice readers to click on and share your post.

8. Share testimonials and positive feedback
