Social media DFY [done for you] captions



It's 2022 A lot of us have been pushing out [writing] social media content for a loooong time now.

We get it.

You're running out of ideas. Content. Creativity. You might even be a bit 'content-fatigued'. ..


But we got you with this month's blog post on all things captions!.


Whether you're an e-comm store, restaurant, in real estate or more, you can use this generic content captions for YOUR business. We've got call to action captions, captions that convert, engage and drive traffic. See below and steal some for your socials!


You're welcome 😁



Engagement captions:


· Comment with the emoji that sums up your #mood today.

· On a scale of 1-10 how likely are you to recommend us to a friend?

· Describe your day in one word.

· Describe your day in three emojis. Here’s mine:

· Tag a small business you love to support.

· Need recs for restaurants to try! Where should we go? Tag the spots you love, below!

· Hey food family! Did you try the recipe I posted? Comment below if you loved it (or hated it!) and whether you tweaked any of the ingredients.

· This image or that? (use this with a carousel of images)



Converting captions:


Have an event? Amp up the excitement. Doing a collaboration? Tag your partners and get their followers on board. Have some hot tips? Offer how-to value by showing followers how to use your product and why it’s desirable. Here are some examples of cool captions that help sell:


· Hey #city! Popup tonight @partnerbusiness. Come by to meet the makers!

· Last day for 25% off all winter boots 👢 Shop the link in bio by 11:59 p.m. to get in on the goods!

· We partnered with @partnerbusiness to create a wear-anywhere travel bag. Where would you wear this?

· They’re back! “Special seasonal item” is on our site now. How will you use it?

· Guest chef @partnerbusiness is creating a special menu next week at @ourcafe. Reserve your spot to taste her fab tacos and come on an empty stomach



Traffic-generating captions:


Get more traffic to your website/blog/shop with Instagram. Your caption should provide enough value and enticement that people stop their scroll, click to your bio, and then click through your link. Be clear about what you’re offering if people click through. You might also try offering a snippet in your caption. If your blog post has 10 tips, give IG scrollers two, so they’re hooked into clicking your link to read more. Leave them wanting more! Be a little mysterious; hint at a surprise or awesome deal or mind-blowing fact, but don’t give it away entirely.
