A good month mixes four kinds of post
The calendar spreads them out so you never post the same kind twice in a row.
Teach · about 30%
Useful posts give people a reason to follow you before they need you.
For example: Tips, FAQs, myths set straight, a word from your trade explained.
Engage · about 25%
Questions and polls get replies, and replies show your posts to more people.
For example: Questions, polls, this-or-that, and the days everyone's talking about.
Build trust · about 20%
Real reviews, real work and real faces show people who they'd be buying from.
For example: Real reviews, finished work, your team and your story.
Promote · about 25%
Offers, news and openings turn followers into customers. Keep them to about a quarter.
For example: What's new, what's on offer, and how to book or buy.
How to use your calendar
- 1
Pick a rhythm you can keep
Choose how often you'll really post. A steady week-in, week-out rhythm beats a busy week followed by a quiet month.
- 2
Make each idea your own
Swap in your real news, offers and photos. Something that happened in your business this week beats any idea from a list.
- 3
Make the month in one sitting
Write and design all the posts in one go, then schedule them, so posting doesn't eat into every week.
- 4
Do more of what gets replies
At the end of the month, look at which posts people answered or shared, and lean into those next month.
Questions
Is the calendar really free?
Yes. Use it, download it and print it as often as you like, no account needed. If you'd like a new one by email each month, leave your email address; one click stops it.
How often should painters and decorators post?
As often as you can keep up week after week. Posting a little every week beats a burst of posts followed by silence. If you're starting out, twice a week is a rhythm most businesses can keep.
Where do the ideas come from?
Our team wrote them from the kinds of posts we make for painters & decorators and other small businesses. They're starting points: swap any idea for something that's happening in your business that week.
Why mix different kinds of post?
If every post asks people to buy, they stop reading. Useful tips, questions, real reviews and the odd offer give people a reason to follow you, and make the offers land.
Can Schedult make these posts for me?
Yes, that's what we do. Each month our team researches, writes and designs your posts in your brand, you look them over in your portal, and we post them. Try it free for 7 days.
