Social media content to build brand reputation

1. Your company news: Tell your audience about new product launches, updates, upcoming events, awards, and any other happenings your company undergoes.
2. Your company culture: Write about what your company stands for. Share your brand values, some rituals in your team, principles and beliefs you stick to while working, etc.
3. Behind-the-scenes: Show the process of your product creation or packaging, post about your team at work, share how you prepare for events, you name it!
4. Testimonials: While collecting customer feedback is critical for getting insights, you can use their testimonials as social proof and design them as social media content assets. Retweet their words or create graphics, but remember to mention the author.

5. SlideShare presentations: Do you post presentations at SlideShare or any other corresponding resources? Share them on social media too.
6. Case studies: Tell the audience about detailed studies and analyses of your existing projects. It’s a great way to build expertise and trust. When describing case studies on social media, use linking words for readers to follow the thread of your story.
7. Product reviews by customers: Most consumers want to see user reviews before purchasing from you. Besides posting them on landing pages or review websites representing your brand, design some for social media accounts for more targets to see.
8. Your top-performing posts: Reshare them again to remind users about your expertise in the field.
9. Employees: Show the faces behind your brand. Users want to deal with real people, so why not “humanize” your content for more authenticity and trust by spotlighting your team members and their stories on social media?
10. Industry research results: Post about the latest research and studies in your niche to educate the audience and let them see your brand keeps up with the times.
11. Photos from events: Showcase your brand’s personality by sharing photos from company events. If you host charity or fundraising meetings, posting about them helps spread awareness and demonstrates your brand’s social responsibility.
12. Social responsibility posts: Speaking of responsibility, by the way. Today, users expect to see it from brands; they want to support businesses sharing the same values. So, don’t be shy to speak about critical issues you stand for.

Content types to know your audience

13. Surveys and polls: It’s one of your best options to try for engagement and learning your audience better. Surveys and polls are interactive, appealing to social instinct and, thus, inviting to act. When crafting a survey or poll, think of non-trivial answers to queries so it would be more interesting for users to participate.
14. User feedback: Encourage users to share their stories about their experience with your brand and highlight the most exciting ones on your social media accounts. It’s a great chance to turn followers into your brand ambassadors.
15. Answers to FAQs from users: Instead of responding to commonly asked questions over and over again, why not design each as a social media post, providing answers and pinging (Facebook, Twitter) or highlighting (Instagram) them for all users to see? Once these posts are made, you can always schedule them using social media tools.
16. User-generated content: Not only does it help to fill your feed with fresh and authentic content, but it will also attract new followers and convert your existing audience into customers.
17. Quizzes: Interactive content is super popular on social media, encouraging users to act. Posts with quizzes allow you to keep the followers engaged and boost conversion.
18. Q&A sessions: Host a Q&A session with your audience on social media. It can be a Twitter chat or a video stream on Instagram or Facebook. Consider it an opportunity to interact with followers and help them finally get all the questions answered.
19. Questions: Ask your followers about what product they love most or what blog post you should write next. Twitter polls work great here, helping you get the audience’s insights.

Social media content ideas for sales

20. Giveaways: Giveaways and contests engage users, promising them to get something for minimum effort, and that’s why they are so popular. Your account gets positive dynamics, attracting a broader audience thanks to tags and shares users make to participate and win.

21. Offers and discounts: Shoppable posts on social media make the purchase journey shorter and help you convert leads. Craft visually-attractive publications for your offers, with all the information a user might need to purchase.
22. Teasers: Forget boring announcements; use social media posts with teasers to drive user interest. Try question stickers on Instagram, teaser videos (check out the commercial video maker from PlayPlay to help create these) and guessing games to hook the audience to interact with your content.
23. Gifts: Surprise your loyal followers with gifts from time to time. Choose a user with the most compelling comment and write a post about them to win something from your brand. Or, announce a gift for “the most active followers of this week.”
24. Product shots: Get creative when sharing your product photos. Say no to boring, catalog-like pictures and think of attractive backgrounds, props, motion animations, etc. They need to stand out when the audience scrolls your feed.
25. Event promos: Do you organize an event or want to tell the audience about upcoming occasions in the niche? Craft bright event posters using a poster maker tool or postcards and share them on social media accounts when appropriate.
26. Product videos: While creative visuals are super engaging, videos are 135% better in organic reach than pictures. Take advantage of this opportunity by sharing product videos on Facebook or Instagram.
27. Before-after: If your product/service involves such an effect, why not follow the “Show, don’t tell” principle and demonstrate the results of your work with users? Beauty, fitness, home decor, and many other brands often publish before-after posts on social media.

Social media content to engage

28. Quotes: Forget about all those overused inspirational quotes from famous writers or spiritual teachers that make active social media users roll their eyes. Why not publish sayings from your CEO, opinion leaders in your industry, or influencers related to your business?
29. Puzzles and games: Such content is super engaging because of its interactive nature. Ask users to find a cat in a picture, come up with a word related to a previous user’s comment, etc. The only rule: Stay as relevant to your niche and brand voice as possible.
30. Custom pictures: Think of custom pics that will communicate your brand’s visual identity, tone of voice, and message. Graphic design tools can help you customize beautiful visuals in minutes.
31. Infographics: Visuals are 60,000 times faster to perceive than text. Share infographics to turn boring statistics or step-by-step guides into visually pleasing and engaging content assets.
32. Free services or instruments: Tell users about your free services or share helpful instruments that might assist them at work.

33. Challenges: If it makes sense for your brand nature, participate in trending challenges on Twitter or Instagram. You can also create your own challenge to provide fun for the audience and expand your reach/impressions.
34. Ask users for help: Ask followers about what they’d like to know about your product, what they’d like to read in your upcoming blog post, etc. Such posts are an extra opportunity to get ideas for your future content and collect customer feedback on their preferences.
35. Live streams: Super popular on most social media platforms (Instagram, YouTube, Facebook), live videos are your opportunity to engage the audience and improve behavioral factors at your accounts.
36. Illustrations and collages: Go beyond stock photos and try alternative visuals to display your information creatively. Illustrations and bright collages with multiple layers, images, and texts will strengthen your brand communication and help you stand out in users’ feeds.
37. Instagram Stories: They look more organic than traditional posts in your Instagram feed, and Stories get much more views. Post them regularly to get users involved and engaged with your brand, and set up Story Highlights on your profile.
38. Reels: It’s a relatively new instrument on Instagram to get a more engaged following. Craft 15-30 seconds videos to entertain users, earn a broader audience, and build loyalty among your existing followers.
39. Humor (memes and GIFs): Such content is super popular on social media; it’s a great way to stay trendy and showcase your brand’s personality. Feel free to create original memes or repurpose the most popular ones according to your background.
