It should bring value to online users. That’s why we
recommend you share current or essential industry
news.

information for your clients. Moreover, people eagerly
share this type of post.
6. 3. User-generated
content
Another type of post you can easily generate, yet it’s
super entertaining and essential. Firstly, you show
your constant contact with your customers and
interest in their opinion.
Secondly, you create a base for your brand
awareness growth.
Create a special hashtag and ask your followers to
mention your brand in a post, to find needed posts
easily.
7. 4. Social
causes
A huge part of buying
population - millennials and
Gen Z - look for more than
just a brand. Your
philosophy, goals, and
attitude to the world are
really vital for them.
This is why don’t forget to
show social causes you
support. Share what you do
for the community or
environment. Can your
audience also participate in
socially important matters?
Then say how they can do
this.
8. 5. Polls and questions
88% of marketers report that interactive
content stands them out from their competitors.
So, if you use content that allows you to connect
closer with your audience, it’s awesome.
Polls, questions, Q&As, and other interactions
help you build a closer bond with your customers.
Most social networks let you create this type of
content easily and share it with your followers.
9. 6. Less salesy
content
Of course, you use your
social accounts as one of
the sales channels. Yet,
sometimes it's better to
take a step back and
loosen your grip.
Refer to the golden 80/20 rule. That said, 80% of your posts should be
entertaining, educational, useful, etc., and only 20% promotional or selling.
With informational, educational, and other types of posts, you will build stronger
relations with consumers. So, they’ll have more loyalty and trust. That normally
leads to more purchases from the standing customers side.
10. 7. Company
videos
54% of users prefer to see
more video content from
the brands or businesses
they support. So, give the
audience what it wants.
Gladly, almost all platforms
allow to post videos and also
make stories and live videos.

Educational content, info
about new products,
tutorials, your life within
the company, etc.
11. 8. Special offers
Social media might be the best channel to tell people
about special offers you have. Create posters, take
pictures, or film short clips to show what discounts,
freebies, or special events you have.
Also, don’t forget to write down the rules of the offer so
that you avoid any misunderstandings. Moreover,
special promotions can help you grow your account if
you add conditions like “share our account, add a
hashtag, or leave comments under this post, etc.”
12. 9. Memes and GIFs
Don’t think you can’t use memes if you operate in some
“serious” industry. Often, this type of content
highlights the current situation and trends. So, new
customers can find out about your brand thanks to a
meme.
This way, look through trending GIFs or memes and use
them for your campaigns. Also, you can re-work them
and make your own so that they match your tone of
voice and purpose.
13. 10. Customer reviews
If you’ve been on the market for a couple of years, you should have some customer reviews. And they can also be a part of your
social media content strategy.
This type of content is extremely important, while 84% of users trust online reviews as much as friends. So, positive
testimonials can do a huge favor for your business.
Create cool designs, place a review, and share with your followers.
14. 11. Tutorials

post that is highly engaging.
Regardless of whether you
represent a make-up brand or
a car dealership, you can
always teach your customers.
Your team can make a video
or you can partner with an
influencer to film a tutorial.
Either way, it’s that type of
useful content your followers
will definitely enjoy.

company's life
