šŸ›Žļø 3 Ideas For Your Hotel or Restaurant Social Media For This Week

Copy and paste these ideas for your posts this week—especially if you are stuck coming up with new concepts!

Whoever thinks you can’t copy and paste what content creators are doing on your own channels… is wrong!

In fact, I’d encourage you to do exactly that. Okay, maybe don’t copy their exact content, but feel free to copy the concept. It’ll instantly make your content more relatable to your followers—and help you feel less like a ā€œformal brand,ā€ and more like a real person.

In today’s email, I’ll give you three ideas. I hope these help you and show you how you can use other niches for inspiration.

3 Social Media Post Ideas For This Week ā¤µļø

1ļøāƒ£ Love Language

Alright, so first up is this post below.

I can already hear you asking: ā€œBut how do I get a couple to feature?ā€
Let me break it to you: you don’t 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 more—whatever you have available.

ā€œBut I don’t serve food!ā€ Okay, no stress. Maybe sharing food isn’t 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. šŸ˜‰

2ļøāƒ£ The Perfect Advice

You cater to a variety of guests—no doubt about that. But depending on what you are (boutique hotel, traveler’s hostel, pub, coffee shop), people will visit you for all sorts of reasons.

Would you be able to write down all those reasons?

Here’s an example:

We are a beautiful, romantic boutique hotel in Porto, Portugal. Reasons our guests might end up at our hotel:

→ For a first date—just drinks at the bar before heading to dinner elsewhere

→ A romantic getaway or anniversary weekend

→ Friends visiting who just love our style (hello, elevated girl’s trip!)

Could you use the inspiration above to create a video similar to Topjaw’s (below)?

ā€œNo, I don’t want to be on camera!ā€ / ā€œI don’t have any staff who’d want to present something like this!ā€

Fine. Turn it into a carousel post and use text instead.
Start with a prompt like: ā€œRomantic 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 maybe—just maybe—you go beyond highlighting your own spot. What if you give them a full itinerary?

3ļøāƒ£ What’s in My bag Kitchen, Hotel Room, or Suitcase?

This is a trend we’ve 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 ā€œWhat’s in my kitchen/bar?ā€
Take a photo—maybe from afar, or as a flat lay with the ingredients beautifully arranged—and 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 ā€œWhat’s in our guests’ suitcase?ā€
Alternatively, you could feature a flat lay of what’s in the valet’s bag, the housekeeper’s bag, or even a staff member’s ā€œday kitā€ā€”but for maximum relatability, I’d start with the guest’s perspective.

Here’s a carousel for inspiration—and I’ve linked a few extras underneath.

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 brand’s twist, and then get to recording or shooting.
