Social Media Submission Instructions
To ensure we’re effectively showcasing your trips and events, please follow these guidelines when submitting content to our social media coordinator:
Photos:
Whenever possible, submit photos in portrait mode for better presentation across platforms.
It's okay to send zoomed-out photos; we can always crop in as needed. However, we cannot zoom out from an overly cropped image.
Focus on quality over quantity. A handful of high-quality photos or videos are much more impactful than dozens of average shots.
Videos:
Capture real reactions and excitement—whether it’s someone talking about their experience, reacting to catching a fish, or celebrating a harvest.
Encourage participants to share a quick reflection on how the trip made them feel or something memorable that happened.
Event Descriptions:
For social media, keep descriptions short and engaging—4 to 5 sentences is perfect for capturing attention.
For our website, you can include a couple of paragraphs, but we will trim it down for social media posts.
Tagging Partners:
If there are guides, businesses, or partners we need to tag, please include active, live links to their social media. This helps us ensure proper tagging and engagement.
Additionally, please note that we post up to three times a week during high-traffic times to avoid overwhelming our audience. If you notice a delay in posting, it could be for several reasons:
We have a lot of content in the queue.
Personal schedules of our team.
We’ve already met our posting quota for the week.
Missing or incomplete information.
Finally, we will be featuring trips and events in full on our website, so make sure to send in the best highlights from your event!
By following these practices, we can better showcase the important work you're doing and continue growing the Hometown Hero Outdoors community. Thank you for your dedication and efforts!
