šļø 3 Ideas For Your Hotel or Restaurant Social Media For This Week
Copy and paste these ideas for your posts this weekāespecially if you are stuck coming up with new concepts!
Whoever thinks you canāt copy and paste what content creators are doing on your own channels⦠is wrong!
In fact, Iād encourage you to do exactly that. Okay, maybe donāt copy their exact content, but feel free to copy the concept. Itāll instantly make your content more relatable to your followersāand help you feel less like a āformal brand,ā and more like a real person.
In todayās email, Iāll give you three ideas. I hope these help you and show you how you can use other niches for inspiration.
Table of Contents
1ļøā£ Love Language
Alright, so first up is this post below.
I can already hear you asking: āBut how do I get a couple to feature?ā
Let me break it to you: you donāt need an actual couple. Just get two of your staff members to mimic the video above.
You can do it with one dish, two, or moreāwhatever you have available.
āBut I donāt serve food!ā Okay, no stress. Maybe sharing food isnāt the right love language to highlight in your case. But what about featuring two staff members in your most beautiful room, raising a glass of champagne or craft beer? Or the two of them, acting like a couple, sipping morning coffee while gazing at a beautiful view?
Just try a different kind of love language. š
2ļøā£ The Perfect Advice
You cater to a variety of guestsāno doubt about that. But depending on what you are (boutique hotel, travelerās hostel, pub, coffee shop), people will visit you for all sorts of reasons.
Would you be able to write down all those reasons?
Hereās an example:
We are a beautiful, romantic boutique hotel in Porto, Portugal. Reasons our guests might end up at our hotel:
ā For a first dateājust drinks at the bar before heading to dinner elsewhere
ā A romantic getaway or anniversary weekend
ā Friends visiting who just love our style (hello, elevated girlās trip!)
Could you use the inspiration above to create a video similar to Topjawās (below)?
āNo, I donāt want to be on camera!ā / āI donāt have any staff whoād want to present something like this!ā
Fine. Turn it into a carousel post and use text instead.
Start with a prompt like: āRomantic date in Porto for 2ā on the first image, then share the details on the second (budget, place, vibe), and the outcome on the third.
You could even recommend specific dishes or rooms for different budgets. And maybeājust maybeāyou go beyond highlighting your own spot. What if you give them a full itinerary?
3ļøā£ Whatās in My bag Kitchen, Hotel Room, or Suitcase?
This is a trend weāve seen plenty of times in the fashion, sports, and photography scenes, but not so much in hospitality. At least, not from hotels, restaurants, or BnBs.
But why not?
If you own a restaurant, cafĆ©, or coffee shop, you could adapt this idea into something like āWhatās in my kitchen/bar?ā
Take a photoāmaybe from afar, or as a flat lay with the ingredients beautifully arrangedāand then turn it into a carousel post where you explain each item.
If you run a hotel, Airbnb, or any kind of accommodation, flip the script: act like you are the guest, and try āWhatās in our guestsā suitcase?ā
Alternatively, you could feature a flat lay of whatās in the valetās bag, the housekeeperās bag, or even a staff memberās āday kitāābut for maximum relatability, Iād start with the guestās perspective.
Hereās a carousel for inspirationāand Iāve linked a few extras underneath.
Extra inspiration:
One done by a hotel (caption in German, but the ideaās clear)
A version by a skincare line āshowing this trend is not just for creators

š Key Takeaways
You donāt always need to look to other hospitality brandsāor even travel creatorsāfor inspiration.
Sometimes, the best ideas come from outside the industry. There are plenty of trends in other sectors that can be adapted to hospitality.
So donāt hesitate to experiment. Try things out. See what sticks.
ā Three Things You Can Do Right Now
1ļøā£ Pick your favorite idea from this email and write out what you need to execute it properly
2ļøā£ Recruit the right people or get the needed items to actually create the content.
3ļøā£ Shoot/record, and publish, donāt think too much about it. Stuck on the caption? Use my formula!
Thatās it for this week!
3 ideas that you should be able to implement without too much hassle.
I get itāthe first two might seem like āa lot to produce,ā but trust me, they can be recreated surprisingly quickly if you just break them down.
The key is not to overthink it. Look at the idea, jot down in bullet points what you need to recreate it with your own brandās twist, and then get to recording or shooting.
Youāll be proud of the results!
See you next week,
