Stuck for ideas on what to post to your Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and Twitter profiles? Get wordy!
Surely you have noticed food-related word graphics (namely memes, cartoons, and quotes) in your Facebook stream on a regular basis.
There is a reason for that. Word graphics are super effective for engaging audiences. In fact, according to this Buffer article, social media posts with images are 94% more likely to be shared than posts without images.
Our brains process images 60,000 times faster than text. Plus, images evoke an emotional response more quickly, too. By adding short snippets of text to fun or beautiful food images, you get the chance to tell your story without requiring too much of your fan’s time. It’s a win-win.
With loads of online tools, it is easier than ever to create your own or find existing word graphics. Here are a few of our favorite tools and resources:
- PicMonkey
- MemeGenerator
- Fotolia
- Google Image Search filtered by “Labeled for Reuse”
Hope you find this quick online marketing tip helpful. Until next time…
