How about video testimonials from happy clients for example? You could film them yourself or ask your clients to film and send a video testimonial to you. The client will be happy to get some free advertising on your social media and you’ll have great quality content for your social media too.
If you’re a company that can take before and after photos, these are great to share on social media too. As a web designer you could share the old website and the new one, or the new SEO results compared to before. If you’re a builder, kitchen fitter or painter you could share before and after photos of your work. The same for hairdressers doing colour or hairstyle changes. Before and after photos are a great way of showing what you do and the finished results.
Use your social media posts to educate your audience. Share information about the services or products you offer. Give your audience top tips, advice and guidance. This will portray you as an industry expert. It will also build trust for your business and offerings. Meanwhile, it will show your audience that you know your stuff and they can ask you any questions they might have.
