CONTENT STRATEGY SUMMARY • Use educational posts to make the café useful and memorable beyond individual promotions. • Reels showcase the sensory experience and atmosphere of visiting the café. • Stories create low-effort interaction through polls, questions and preferences. • Community-focused posts encourage comments, tags and repeat engagement. • Visit-focused CTAs regularly connect Instagram activity with the primary goal of increasing in-store traffic. CONTENT PILLARS Coffee Education — Simple guides, comparisons and useful coffee knowledge. Behind the Scenes — Preparation, barista processes and café atmosphere. Community — Questions, polls and conversation starters. Lifestyle — Coffee connected to work, mornings, weekends and social moments. Entertainment — Relatable coffee humor and interactive content. Visit Motivation — Natural reminders that turn online engagement into café visits. WEEKLY POSTING STRUCTURE Monday: Motivation or relatable coffee content Tuesday: Educational content Wednesday: Interactive Story Thursday: Behind-the-scenes Reel Friday: Visit-focused post Saturday: Lifestyle/community content Sunday: Relaxed atmosphere or engagement post REPURPOSING PLAN 1. Turn educational carousels into short Reels with one tip per scene. 2. Convert Story poll results into follow-up posts. 3. Cut longer behind-the-scenes footage into several short clips. 4. Turn frequently asked audience questions into future educational posts. 5. Reuse strong hooks as Story openers while creating new supporting content. PERFORMANCE TRACKING In-store visit signals — Track customer mentions of Instagram or platform-specific promotions when applicable. Reach — Shows how many unique accounts are discovering the content. Engagement rate — Indicates how strongly the audience interacts with posts. Saves — Particularly useful for measuring educational content value. Shares — Shows which posts people consider worth sending to others. Profile visits — Helps indicate whether content is generating deeper interest in the business. OPTIMIZATION TIPS 1. Identify the three posts generating the most saves and create follow-ups on those topics. 2. Compare Reel performance with static posts and adjust the format mix accordingly. 3. Track which CTAs generate the most profile actions and in-store signals. 4. Use Story poll responses to guide future content topics. 5. After 30 days, reduce low-performing repetitive formats and expand the themes that consistently generate reach, saves, shares and visits.
