Running a children’s activity business is rewarding, but it can also feel like you’re constantly juggling — planning sessions, engaging families, handling bookings, and still trying to show up on social media. The good news? You don’t need to spend hours creating brand-new content every single day. With the right strategy, you can take one piece of content and turn it into a whole week’s worth of posts.
Here’s how.
Step 1: Start With a Core Piece of Content
Choose one main piece of content that’s valuable to your audience. This could be:
- A blog post sharing tips for parents (e.g., “5 Ways to Build Confidence Through Dance”).
- A video clip from one of your classes.
- A parent testimonial that highlights the impact of your sessions.
This “pillar” content becomes the foundation for your week.
Step 2: Break It Down Into Bite-Sized Posts
From your core piece, pull out smaller ideas that you can share in different formats:
- Quote Post: Share a powerful line from your blog or a parent’s testimonial with a colourful background.
- Quick Tip Reel: Record yourself giving one takeaway from your blog in under 30 seconds.
- Photo Post: Pair a class photo with a snippet of advice or encouragement.
This makes your content easier for parents to engage with while saving you from starting from scratch.
Step 3: Add Behind-the-Scenes Content
Parents love seeing what goes on in your classes. Use your core content to inspire:
- A story showing you setting up for a session.
- A short video clip of children (with permission) enjoying the activity.
- A caption about why you do what you do and how it benefits the children.
This adds personality and builds trust.
Step 4: Create Engagement Posts
Don’t just talk at your audience—invite them into the conversation:
- Turn a tip from your blog into a question: “Which of these confidence-boosting activities would your child love most?”
- Use polls or quizzes in your Instagram or Facebook Stories.
- Share a parenting dilemma and ask followers to share their experiences.
This keeps your audience active and connected to your brand.
Step 5: Repurpose Into Different Formats
One piece of content can stretch across multiple platforms if you switch up the format:
- Facebook/Instagram Post → Email Newsletter
- Blog Post → Reel/Story
- Video Clip → YouTube Short or TikTok
Remember: parents don’t see every single thing you post, so repetition in new formats is powerful, not boring.
Step 6: Plan Your Week
Map out your posts so you’re not scrambling each day. For example:
- Monday: Share your main blog post or video.
- Tuesday: Post a behind-the-scenes photo.
- Wednesday: Share a parent testimonial.
- Thursday: Ask an engagement question.
- Friday: Share a quick tip reel.
- Weekend: Post a fun story or class highlight.
With this flow, your social media feels full, consistent, and engaging—all from one piece of content.
Final Thoughts
As a children’s activity business owner, your time is precious. By repurposing smartly, you don’t just save time—you also increase the chances of families seeing your message, building trust, and ultimately booking into your classes.
So, the next time you sit down to create content, remember: you only need one good idea to fill your week.
