“WHAT AM I GOING TO SAY?”

Jakki Goodall - Monday, October 31, 2011


...this is one of the most common question that cre8you is asked when we speak to people about creating original content for their page.


ANSWER: Research the internet and find out what calendar events may be happening in the year.

These might be charity events, cultural or religious events, International days, weeks, months, years or even events in your own business or organisation such as anniversaries.


Think about which events are most timely and relevant before you decide to support, donate, participate or help raise awareness for it.


 Make sure you can sincerely relate to it or link it to your business. Don’t go spamming your wall with every cause that is coming up that month just because you think it will make your business look good.....cause it won’t.


Tips and Tricks


  • Start having conversations with your audience and networks a few weeks before the event. This will give anyone interested time to share their ideas, support and spread the news to their networks and community.

  • Go directly to the cause or events facebook page and post how your business is helping or participating.

  • Remember to add photos and videos of the how you have supported the cause or event.  

  • Go onto people’s and page’s walls who also supported the cause or event and thank them.


  • Also don't forget to personally thank those who directly acknowledged or supported your event or cause by going onto their page and posting a thank you comment.
