Social Media Messaging

• Be sure your social media messages include helpful information as well as messages of encouragement and positivity. Cross-posting will get your business ultimate exposure.
• Use a short script, hold phones horizontal and shoot videos inside if possible to minimize noise and provide better lighting.
• Remember to use the suggested hashtags ALWAYS and tag McHenry MarketPulse, the McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce, and other businesses.
• Encourage others to like and share your posts.
• The public cares about you and we know you care about them. Everyone is looking for inspiration, encouragement and useful information. This is one way to let them know how they can help you.

Support local

• Take the time to support other businesses listed on the ShopNDineMcHenry website. Tag the other business in posts whenever possible.
• Supporting one another on your social media pages will expose each of you to new customers and bolster the economy and the sense of community we all desperately need.
