Choosing the right content for your business
There is no single best type of content. The right choice depends on what you need to communicate, and to whom.
Start with the message
Before choosing a format, decide what needs to be communicated. Showing a product, explaining a service, introducing a team and announcing an offer are different tasks.
Short-form video
Reels and short videos suit things that are best understood in motion: a process, a transformation, a space or a person explaining something. They work best when the subject is clear from the first moments.
Photography
Photos suit products, details and atmosphere. A strong set of photos can be reused across social media, the website and advertising.
Carousels and graphics
Multi-image posts and designed graphics suit information that benefits from structure: steps, comparisons, prices or frequently asked questions.
Stories and everyday updates
Stories suit timely, informal updates: what is happening today, new arrivals or moments from behind the scenes. They keep a brand present between larger pieces of content.
Choosing a mix
Most businesses benefit from a mix of formats, planned around their goals rather than around trends.
- What do customers need to understand before they buy?
- What can be shown rather than explained?
- What can realistically be produced on a regular basis?
- Which formats has your audience responded to before?
