Social Media Trends
- “You & me, a weekend in X?” This is a great hook because viewers will want to share this with friends they want to travel with and you’ll be able to provide your expertise about the destination in the caption.
- “You went to X for the X, right?” Save this for your next trip or use it with clips you have on your phone. You can switch “beaches” out for “sights” or “views” and cats out for clips of food or drink. Here is another example!
- “X, where should I eat in X?” This is a great example of a short, value-packed reel where you can upsell your guide or service in the caption. Instead of where to eat, you could also share where to hike, get coffee, grab drinks, etc.
