Creative post idea #1: Share a creative collection of items. You’ll pick products that are similar (think the same color, made by the same designer or at the same price point) and showcase them in a photo or video. This is a great way to catch peoples attention when they’re scrolling their social media feeds.

Creative post idea #2: Share products that make the perfect pair. Take two items that work well together and bundle them. Then if a customer purchases the bundle they’ll be able to save at a special discount.

When you create and share fun unique content it helps you stand out on social media and differentiates you from your competition. Customers are also more likely to recognize you because you’re sharing content that’s catching their attention.
