Maybe you’ve already seen things like “#MotivationMondays” or “#TransformationTuesdays”” Using these type of posts create interest in that topic. I think quotes are great, but overdone most of the time. I would say be conscious how much you use a quote, however if your page is all about motivation, you may use them more frequently, but in the service industry not so much.
Focus on PICTURES!! I capitalized this because pictures are engaged with 120% more than text-only posts. Social media is used as a visual medium. There’s no feeling or emotion in text, but if you post a picture it may evoke feeling. If you are a color specialist, you may want to put your best work in the form of pictures. Your posts should be congruent. So if there’s a specific filter you use, try to continually use that filter to create an even flow. Just like if I was a chef, I’m going to want to put my best, most colorful dishes on display in pictures.

Tips for a better picture

• Leave out anything extra that could be distracting in a picture. Crop it if you have to. Your phone can be used to do this if you do a snapshot.
• Instead of zooming, just get closer to ensure the image is crisp and clear *Have a designated area for pictures. For example “A Selfie Station.”
• Before you post, know lighting is everything. The right lighting can make your picture look great or not so great.
• You can edit with a filter from a platform like Snapchat or Instagram, but make sure your filter doesn’t take away true results in showing a true color on hair, or haircut…so make sure you don’t alter what it looks like if you are showing a result. You want it to be true to the look.
• Side by side comparisons are very impactful. If you don’t know how to do this, there are apps that will help you achieve this, such as CANVA.
• A smile in a picture can sell a customer, so make sure when you take the picture the client is smiling!
• Using a mirror can help showcase your work, so take advantage of reflections. Quick Tip! – Write your social media handle on the mirror at your station so they can easily find and follow you. Here’s a simple list to help you in posting on a daily basis. Don’t forget Facebook allows you to designate a time for a post, so if you want to set it up in the next 2 days, it will automatically post for you, once you set it up.
