Creating Content

If you've been paying attention, you know you need content. It may sound intimidating, but you and your employees have the power to create powerful, relevant content with a basic smartphone. Here are some easy examples:
  1. Picture of staff member(s).
  2. Picture of a new team member.
  3. Picture of owner or boss doing something humorous.
  4. Picture of new products being unboxed or stocked.
  5. Picture of a happy customer (with proper consent, of course).
  6. Picture of an office pet (if applicable).
  7. Picture of a staff member enjoying a seasonal holiday gathering.
  8. Picture of staff members in action (meeting, helping customers, stocking shelves, etc.).
  9. Picture of a happy customer (along with a caption using an infinite number of apps that can do this).
  10. Picture of new equipment (especially if it's a home service company).
  11. Picture of staff working on location (if it's out in the field).
  12. Picture of "behind the scenes."
  13. Memes made from your own pictures.
  14. Video of a birthday or some other type of celebration.
  15. Video announcement of a promotion, product, or special.
  16. Video of a customer testimonial.
  17. Video with some helpful advice the customer may find useful.
  18. Video supporting a local cause.
  19. Video showing off new products or services (30 seconds to a minute).
  20. Video of the owner talking about the mission of the company.
  21. Video interview with team members.
  22. Assemble your pictures into a video (plenty of apps can do that).

    I notice once you follow a brand they may have several profitable entities online and all faceless but only once you get to the parent company do you usually see who is in charge, and staff etc.

    But also there are one man operations that outsource just about everything behind the scenes and that is the way they prefer it.

    You can still engage and have great interactions with your audiences even if its via hired voices.
