TOP TIPS FOR CREATING GREAT SOCIAL MEDIA CONTENT
Social media is one of the most powerful tools for marketing your hospitality business—but with so much competition online, how do you make your content stand out? The secret lies in creating high-quality, engaging posts that grab attention and spark conversations. Here are some top tips to help you create content that actually works.
Prioritise Eye-Catching Visuals
People eat with their eyes first—so make sure your social media content looks as good as your food! High-quality photos and videos are essential for grabbing attention and making people want to visit your venue.
✔ Use natural lighting to showcase your dishes and drinks.
✔ Invest in a decent camera or work with a professional.
✔ Try out reels and behind-the-scenes videos to create variety.
Keep It Short, Snappy & Relatable
Nobody likes a long-winded caption. Keep your messaging clear, concise, and engaging. Your audience should get the key message in seconds.
✔ Use fun, friendly language that reflects your brand personality.
✔ Emojis can help add personality and break up text.
✔ Ask questions or use calls-to-action to encourage engagement (e.g., “Tag your brunch buddy!”).
Be Consistent & Post Regularly
Consistency is key to staying relevant on social media. The more frequently you post, the more your audience will engage with your brand.
✔ Create a content calendar to plan posts in advance.
✔ Post at peak times when your audience is most active.
✔ Don’t post just for the sake of it—make sure every post adds value.
Engage With Your Audience
Social media is a two-way street—don’t just post and ghost! Interacting with your audience builds loyalty and keeps your brand top-of-mind.
✔ Reply to comments and messages promptly.
✔ Share user-generated content to show appreciation.
✔ Run polls, Q&As, or interactive stories to boost engagement.
Use Hashtags & Geotags to Get Discovered
Make it easy for people to find you by using relevant hashtags and location tags.
✔ Include a mix of popular and niche hashtags (e.g., #MelbourneEats, #SydneyBrunch, #BestCoffee).
✔ Tag your location so potential customers nearby can discover your business.
✔ Check out trending hashtags in your industry and jump in where relevant.
Tell a Story
People love a good story—so don’t just post a picture, tell a story! Share what makes your business unique.
✔ Highlight your team, your ingredients, or the inspiration behind your menu.
✔ Showcase customer experiences and testimonials.
✔ Create series-based content (e.g., “Meet the Chef Mondays”).
Analyse & Adjust
What works today might not work tomorrow—so always keep an eye on your analytics and adjust accordingly. ✔ Track which posts perform best and do more of what works. ✔ Experiment with different types of content (videos, reels, carousels, memes, etc.). ✔ Use insights to refine your posting schedule and content strategy.
