Social media isn’t always about selling something. 💗
Sometimes the most powerful thing a business can do is simply be human.
This recent post we created for The Griffin Newquay wasn’t promoting a menu, a room or an event. It was about pausing at the end of a busy Cornish summer to remember the people behind the business.
The customers who keep coming back.
The staff working hard behind the scenes.
The friendships made.
The happy moments celebrated.
The people sadly missed.
And the other independent businesses working alongside us.
Businesses, don’t forget to say thank you.
Show people the real faces, stories and emotions behind what you do. Celebrate your team. Appreciate your customers. Support other local businesses. Be honest, grateful and human.
Because good social media shouldn’t only ask people to buy from you.
It should give them a reason to care about you. 💗
And judging by the incredible response this post received, people really do care.
This is the kind of social media we love creating at Eat My Pixel — content with personality, purpose and a real human story behind it.
