Crafting captivating sharing messages

In today's digital world, individual voices matter—especially when it comes to sharing your company's exciting news and achievements. Using your brand ambassadors or employee advocates' social media presence can significantly amplify your organization's message. But how do you ensure your posts truly resonate and encourage engagement on social media?

It all starts with a fantastic caption, or as we call it on Haiilo, a "sharing message." Think of a sharing message as a friendly invitation to the sharer's network to join the conversation. It's the key to turning a simple post into a powerful connection point.

Let's explore some tips for crafting messages that are effective, unique, and, most importantly, personal.

Keep it Concise and Catchy

  • Brevity is a friend. In the fast-paced world of social media, people are scrolling quickly. Aim for around 150 characters, including those expressive emojis! 🤩🥳🚀 Get straight to the point and highlight the most compelling aspect of the content.
  • Grab attention instantly. Use strong verbs and intriguing phrases to pique curiosity. Think about what would make you stop scrolling. 

Examples:

"Big news! 🚀 We just launched [product/feature]! Learn more: [link] 🤩"

"Quick read: [topic] tips you need now! [link] 💡"

"@[Company] is growing! See our latest updates: [link] ✨"

Make it Personal and Authentic

  • Individual voices matter. Share genuine perspective and enthusiasm. Why does this content matter? Encourage your ambassadors to put their personal spin on the messages.
  • Tell a mini-story. Even a short sentence or two can add context and make the post more relatable.

Examples:

"This project meant a lot to me. Sharing our journey: [link]. What do you think?"

"As someone passionate about [topic], I found this super insightful. [Link] Hope you do too!"

"I remember when we first started working on this... Proud to share the result! [link] #innovation"

Encourage Engagement

  • Ask a question. Invite your network to share their thoughts and experiences. "What are your thoughts on this?" or "Have you experienced something similar?" are great starting points.
  • Include a call to action. Tell your connections what you'd like them to do. "Learn more," "Check it out," or "Share your feedback" are all effective prompts. Think about your goal: when sharing a Link post, your goal is for your connections to read the article. If you're sharing an Image or Video, you may want to direct them to a sign-up form or something similar, depending on what your post highlights.
  • Tag relevant companies. This will widen your reach and connect you with a broader audience. On LinkedIn, tagging relevant companies can increase visibility.
  • Use hashtags. Using relevant hashtags can help people who are interested in that subject find your post.

Examples:

"What's your biggest challenge with [topic]? Let's discuss below!"

"Ready to level up? Sign up for our webinar [link] and get ready to reach your full potential"

"Thrilled to partner with @[Company] on this initiative! [link] #innovation #collaboration"

Give Options and Variety

  • Offer multiple sharing messages. Providing a selection of messages allows your ambassadors to choose the one that best suits their style and audience. This makes it easier for them to participate and share the content.
  • Mix it up. Use different tones and styles in your captions. Some can be informative, others can be inspirational, and some can be humorous. Change between formal and informal tones.
  • Use AI: Elevate your message creation game with Haiilo's powerful AI tool, AVA. This tool effortlessly generates messages in a variety of tones, with or without emojis, based on your post content. By leveraging AVA, you'll save valuable time while crafting impactful, tailored messages that drive engagement.
