So, to be sure you get it right first time I have put together this helpful guide including top tips on how to save you time which means saving you money!
Let’s Talk Instagram
Instagram is the most popular platform to share photos. It really is a great place to showcase your wedding venue and everything you have to offer. You can use tools like Planoly to plan your grid, ensure images are the correct size and the feed looks aesthetically pleasing before you post them live.

When choosing your photo just bear in mind that there is a difference between how things will display on your personal timeline and how things will display in a user’s newsfeed!
Recommended Sizes For LinkedIn
Using LinkedIn for business be sure to share images, this has been shown to increase comments and sharing but of course, you need to ensure that these images are the correct size so people can see them clearly!

We Can’t Forget About Twitter!
Tweets that include images get more click through, more likes and more retweets than a tweet with no image. In fact, if you include an image on your tweet it’s 3x more likely to get engagement on that tweet. So, ensuring you are using the correct image size is really important!

Charlotte’s Top Tip
I recommend following #weddinghour on twitter where you will find us sharing valuable information related to wedding venue sales, marketing and so much more!
Ensuring that all your content is the correct size is really important. You want your audience to be able to see all the content you share clearly and you want it to be high quality and not pixilated.
Time is money and right now time maybe limited but they’re free tools out there to help you ensure that you are creating content the correct size. I would recommend using canva which also gives you free templates that you can drag and drop your logo and content into, looking professional, great to the eye and delivering the content you want in the correct format and size!
