Challenge #6 How & What to post on your Facebook Page
It’s hard for accommodation owners to know what to post on their Facebook Business Page. For today’s challenge, you are going to create a post and publish it on your page.
Here are some guidelines for creating content.
If you’re new to Facebook you will want to start with an introduction/welcome post
Introduction / Welcome
Suggested format to follow
- A welcome to your social media accounts.
- Acknowledge the current crisis facing us all
- A quick introduction about your accommodation business
- A lovely image of your accommodation.
If it’s not your first post then we would suggest an update post.
Tip: We suggest doing this once a week.
Update Post
This post should follow a similar format to the welcome post. But you will want to add more variety to it.
- Acknowledge the current crisis – You can reference anything in the news that has caught your attention. However, avoid being too political as this could alienate potential guests.
- Let people know what you’ve been doing to the accommodation during this period. It may be that you’ve taken the chance to redecorate or done something to the garden. Or you could tell people about a lovely walk you’ve found in the area that they may wish to try if they stay with you.
- Include a picture of what you’ve been doing or the walk.
- Wish everyone the best and mention how you look forward to welcoming guests once all this is over.
