Good to know

Post more than once
The announcement one or two weeks ahead, a reminder in stories the day before and photos on the day.
Date on the image
Big day, time and place on the post: that's what people screenshot.
Plan B, up front
If the event depends on the weather or on spots, say so in the first post: you'll avoid messages and people showing up for nothing.

Frequently asked questions

How far ahead should I announce an event?

One or two weeks ahead so people can plan for it, with a reminder in stories the day before.

What details can't be missing?

What it is, the day and time, the place, how much it costs or whether it's free, whether spots are limited and how to sign up.

Can I use these captions as they are?

Yes, they're made to copy. Swap the products, prices and dates for yours, and adjust the tone to how you talk to your audience.

Does Feedmakers write the caption for me?

Yes. Every post you create comes with a hook, caption, call to action and hashtags, in English, Spanish or both, from one line describing what you want to announce.
