Tips & Tricks

Want to get the most value from posting in Blue Heart Communities (BHC) or I Love Fourways (ILF)? Use the tips below to improve visibility, engagement, and trust.

1. Content Is Crucial

• Keep text off images: Put your message in the post text, not on the image
• Avoid links in the main post: Facebook often reduces reach — add links in the comments instead
• Use real, relatable images: Lifestyle or real photos perform better than generic stock images
• Less is more: Short, clear posts work best
• Always include your Listing ID at the top of every post

2. Posting Tips

• Create engagement: Ask simple questions that spark interest

Example (Caterer):

“Is anyone planning a wedding soon? I’d love to share a beautiful menu idea with you!”

• Promote offers: Specials, discounts, or limited-time deals grab attention
• Vary your posts: Don’t post the same wording every day

3. Use Your Listing ID Correctly

Your Listing ID validates your post and helps speed up moderation.

❌ Incorrect formats:

• #verifiedBHC
• #BHC 12345
• BHC#12345
• #12345

✅ Correct format:

#BHC12345

Example:

#BHC12345 Example Business – Summer Sale! 20% off all items

4. Keep Things Fresh

• Update your details if you move or change contact numbers
• Refresh images regularly to stay relevant
• Share new services, products, or seasonal offers

5. Engagement & Visibility

• Search the group for your service (e.g. “plumber”, “electrician”) and reply where appropriate
• Always mention your business name so members recognise and remember it
• Be helpful and approachable — a practical tip or friendly tone goes a long way

Consistent, helpful posting builds familiarity and trust over time.

Remember:

Every post is a chance to build trust, brand recognition, and real connections.

Keep it simple, stay consistent, and always start with your Listing ID 💙
