Types of Posts

There are currently 4 kinds of posts:

  • What’s New?: These are posts that include general information that you wish to share with the public.
  • Event: If you are working on throwing an event, you could promote it using this post. These are ideal for events and restaurants, but schools could also benefit from this feature. These types of posts require:
    • Title
    • Start/End Times & Dates
    • Additional photos, videos, and the ability to create a Call to Action (optional, but highly recommended)
  • Offer: If you’re running a promotion, you could use this type of post to let others know. For instance, electricians or dentists might use these posts to highlight any deals or specials they may be offering.

  • Products: You can use these to draw attention to a certain item or service that your company is selling. A apparel business, for example, can promote a line of shoes they have, or a computer store could showcase computers that they recently brought into stock.
