Custom posts are a great way to increases engagement, adding a=one or more custom posts each week can really lift engagement and bring a new dimension to your social profiles. Although these posts require a little more work and imagination, once you have created a few we're sure you'll find it easy.
Tip: Don't think you need the perfect shot or craft the perfect caption, most content on social networks has a shelf life of a few hours unless it gets like and comments. Keep things simple, there's always next week to improve, the important thing is that you commit to getting something complete.
We recommend you start by replicating the below examples to build confidence, then over time adapt and create new variations.
Sales Results Post
The below example takes an everyday announcement and turns it into an eye-catching marketing post. The use of a staff member and branding reinforces the business and people behind it, the subject's eyes are looking directly at the camera which is sure to stop users as there scroll through their feed.

Agent Profile
There are occasions where a new staff member joins the team and you want to introduce them, this is where a profile post comes in, don't use the stock agent profile image go for something a little more candid, in the office or on-site at an Auction or open home.
Tip: Where you have a large team of 4 or more, profile posts can become a regular weekly post but make sure to always pair the post with a new image to keep things fresh, once you have 4 or more images for each staff member you could start recycling the images to save work.
