44 Ideas of What to Post on Your Business Facebook Page

You’ve set up your business Facebook page, it looks pretty good, and you’ve been told you need to post at least four times a week to keep things fresh and engaging. Awesome. But then after about two weeks of posting content, you already feel like you’re running out of things to say. How many different ways can you talk about the one thing/product/service you offer? You begin to panic!

Never fear, we’ve compiled some fresh content ideas for you and your business when it comes to posting on Facebook. With this list in mind, you’ll never run out of awesome content. Of course, no two businesses are the same, so just treat these as a starting point, little thought-starters, for you to apply to your particular industry.

First things first – content must add value to the lives of your audience. You can’t just jam ‘selling selling selling’ down everyone’s throats. Put yourself in the customer’s shoes… do you want marketing billboards screaming at you every time you look in your Facebook feed? Or do you want to have a news feed that inspires, educates and entertains you?

A brand that successfully ticks those boxes is far more likely to conjure a positive, fuzzy relationship with their customer.

Onto the list! Keep in mind, not all of these will apply to all businesses and industries, but we do hope you find this helpful.
