Episode 8: Content Strategy aur Content Calendar
Kya post karna hai, kiske liye, kis maqsad se, aur kab. Plus ek ready-to-use content calendar.
Roz subah sochna “aaj kya post karun?” aisa hai jaise roz subah sochna “aaj kya pakaun?” aur fridge khaali ho.
Content strategy woh grocery list hai jo poore hafte ka khaana aasaan bana deti hai.
Content strategy kya hai?
Ek plan jo batata hai ki aap kis audience ke liye, kis goal ke saath, kya content, kis format mein, kitni baar banaoge.
Bina strategy ke content ek random diary hai. Strategy ke saath woh ek sales machine hai.
Content pillars: 4–5 fixed topics
Pillars woh main themes hain jinke around saara content ghoomta hai. Isse ideas kabhi khatam nahi hote, aur brand consistent rehta hai.
1. Style tips (30%)
Ek kurti ko kaise style karein.
“1 kurti, 3 office looks”
2. Product (25%)
Fabric, fit, details, new arrivals.
“Is cotton ka wash test”
3. Trust & proof (20%)
Reviews, customer photos, process.
“Priya ka unboxing”
4. Behind the scenes (15%)
Jaipur ki printing, packing, Neha ki kahani.
“Ek kurti banne mein 6 haath”
5. Relatable fun (10%)
Working women ki life.
“Monday morning wardrobe crisis”
Funnel ke hisaab se content
| Stage | Customer ka sawaal | Content type |
|---|---|---|
| Awareness (TOFU) | “Yeh brand kaun hai?” | Relatable Reels, style tips, trends |
| Consideration (MOFU) | “Kya yeh mere liye sahi hai?” | Fabric close-ups, size guide, comparisons, reviews |
| Conversion (BOFU) | “Abhi kyun kharidun?” | Offers, limited stock, easy order steps, testimonials |
Galti: sirf BOFU (“Buy now!”) content. Jaise kisi se pehli mulaqat mein shaadi ka proposal.
Formats: kaunsa kab use karein
| Format | Kis cheez mein best | StyleStreet idea |
|---|---|---|
| Reels | Naye logon tak reach | Styling transitions, comfort test |
| Carousel | Saves, detail, education | “Body type ke hisaab se kurti length” |
| Stories | Existing followers se rishta, polls | “Kaunsa colour launch karein?” poll |
| Single photo | Product showcase | Clean product shot + price |
| Live | Trust, real-time sale | Sunday try-on live |
Content calendar kaise banayein
Calendar ek simple table hai: date, pillar, format, topic, caption hook, CTA, status.
Important dates bhi calendar mein daalo: salary week (1–7 tareekh), festivals, wedding season, sale periods.
Ek content, paanch jagah
Ek “1 kurti 3 looks” Reel ko aise repurpose karo:
- Reel → Instagram aur Facebook
- Har look ki photo → carousel
- Behind-the-scenes clip → story
- Best look → WhatsApp broadcast
- Top performing version → ad creative
Mehnat ek baar, faayda 5 baar.
StyleStreet ki real problem
StyleStreet ka content sirf “catalog” tha
Last 30 posts mein se 26 sirf product photo + “DM for price”. Koi story, koi tip, koi customer nahi.
Naye log follow kyun karein? Unke liye koi value nahi. Aur kharidne waale ko trust kahan se aaye? Fix: 5 pillars aur funnel-based mix.
Practical example: StyleStreet ka ek hafte ka calendar
| Din | Pillar | Format | Topic | CTA |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mon | Relatable | Reel | “Monday 8:45 AM wardrobe crisis” | Follow |
| Tue | Style tips | Carousel | “1 white kurti, 5 dupatta looks” | Save |
| Wed | Product | Reel | “Wash test: 10 dhulaai ke baad” | |
| Thu | Trust | Story + post | Customer photos ka collage | Share |
| Fri | BTS | Reel | “Jaipur mein block printing” | Follow |
| Sat | Product | Photo | New arrival + price + sizes | Order now |
| Sun | Engagement | Story poll | “Next colour: sage ya mustard?” | Vote |
Aapka mission: 30-din content calendar
StyleStreet ke liye Google Sheet mein 30 din ka calendar banao:
- 5 content pillars aur unka % decide karo
- Har pillar ke 6 topic ideas likho (total 30)
- Har topic ka format choose karo (Reel/carousel/story/photo)
- Funnel stage aur CTA har row mein likho
- Important dates (salary week, festival) mark karo
- Ek batching day choose karo aur pehle hafte ki shoot list banao
