Try these tips to get started: **Be yourself. ** Think about what you tell your clients on a visit or over the phone, and post that. Answers to commonly-asked questions, any specials you’re offering, and your favorite designs make great content. **Post a variety of content and information. ** - Services you offer, and photos of completed projects - Articles and interesting links - Helpful videos (from Ewing and vendors, or create your own!) - Association news from associations you’re involved with - Tips and advice - Seasonal information **Keep it short and fun. ** Use small nuggets of information, humor, commentary or inspiration. Keep it fairly short, so it’s easier for you to create and for your customers to read. **Encourage them to take action. ** Visit your website, call for a quote, post a questions, share a post for a chance to win (a free consultation, perhaps!), etc. **Showcase your work with photos.** Make sure most (if not all) of your posts on Facebook have a photo. You don’t need a fancy camera or editing software—your smartphone will work! **Post responsibly. ** Keep your messages positive, productive, and respectful toward your clients. When posting a photo of someone’s property, make sure you don’t post identifying information or addresses. It’s a good idea to get permission to use photos of the project up front in your contractor installation agreement. Respect copyrights. Use your own words/images, or make sure you have documented permission to use something and give proper credit. **Look it over before you post. ** Before you hit post, check your spelling, punctuation, capitalization and grammar. Facebook will allow you to edit a post after you publish it, but most other sites do not.
