How do I get all that content though??

What's keeping you from being consistent on social media?


I think there are a couple reasons trades companies struggle to post on social media- and a lot of it revolves around the amount of content it takes and not really knowing what to get for content.


But having worked with a lot of different companies, in different markets with different teams- here are some things we've seen work.


Here are 12 ways to get content for your plumbing, HVAC or electrical company.

  • Hire a photographer
  • Put all the photos and videos you already have in a google drive folder or drop box- including ask your team
  • Offer incentives for your team to get selfies with customers
  • Offer incentives for your team- whoever gets a video or picture that gets the most views/engagement for the month wins x dollars
  • Get the before and after photos off your Field Service Management Software
  • Have a plan of what you want pictures/videos of (I create a list here you can grab: https://keehartmarketing.com/shot-list)
  • Schedule time weekly or monthly to start working on the shot list
  • Add it to your team's daily checklist/daily systems
  • Purchase tripods and lapels to make content gathering easier
  • Hire a local photography/videography student to gather content
  • Add it to someone in the office’s job duties to collect content weekly/monthly
  • Take pictures of times of celebration/trainings


What has worked for your company? I'd love to know!

Happy creating,

Jen
