Social Media Tip For Small Business: Repurpose Content

Creating content for social media (or writing emails to send to your contact list, or having a designer create a great brochure, or updating your website with detailed descriptions of services and staff bios, etc.) is a significant investment of time, money or both. So don’t use that content — meaning images, videos, or text — only one time. Repurpose it!

Do you have a great video on your website showing how a laser hair removal treatment works? Share it on social media!

Did you write a great introduction of your new aesthetician for your email newsletter? Share it on social media!

Did a graphic artist just create a new brochure with some great graphics that highlight different services? Ask for it to be broken down in several images, sized to the social media channels you use, and …

You get the idea.

And don’t forget that it can work the opposite way, too. If you found a great link that you’ve shared on social media, save it for your next newsletter. If you made a great short Facebook Live video while drawing winners of a door prize at an event, download it and add it to your website’s News page or blog.
