What Can Wedding Pros Post on Social Media Right Now?

We are in an unprecedented time, in the midst of a Pandemic, everyone is hurting, and most weddings are not happening at the moment. As a wedding professional you know how important it is to have a Social Media presence, but with no weddings happening, you aren’t sure what to post.

Social Media is not merely a tool to share your weddings, it is also a tool to connect with your audience and let potential customers get a feel for who you are and how you work. Now is a perfect time to give your followers and potential couples a glimpse in to your style, your work processes and behind-the-scenes of your business.

Here are a few ideas about what to post:

• Share a photo of your workspace and explain why you’ve chosen those things around you
• Share a typical day at your desk and what’s on it

• Share how you do your best work, quiet or with music, (share your playlist)
• Set-up special tablescapes for a special dinner or family party at home to show your personal style
• Interview vendors you admire
• Inspirational quotes (create branded quotes through Canva)
• Introduce yourself and share 3 surprising facts about you
• Share a typical day of work for you
• Are you a coffee or tea fanatic? Share it!

• Explain a typical wedding day and what you do
• Talk about a course you are currently taking to improve your business and why you are taking it
• Share a webinar you recently took
• Provide your tips for having a wedding during the Pandemic and the steps you will take as a wedding professional working at a wedding

• Tell them your Why? Why did you get in to the wedding business, what is your purpose?
• What are your favourite wedding movies, and are they sheer fantasy or accurate in your experience

• Get a list of all the Microholidays and create fun posts for them with a wedding twist. For example order a special cupcake from your favourite Wedding Cake designer for National Cupcake day #nationalcupcakeday #cupcakesarealwaysagoodidea

• Feature your team members, have a list of questions for each person to answer
• Share something that you used to do in your business until you found a better way, share what that is
• Share a wedding planning tip
• Share how you have saved the day at a wedding you were working
• Share your latest Blog Post
• Answer frequently asked questions, or create an “Ask me anything!” story
