Social Media Video for Trade Businesses: What Actually Gets Calls

By Matt Anderson · 5 min read

You don't need to dance on camera. For trade businesses, the content that works is simple: show the work, show the people, and show that you're good at what you do.

Video ideas that work for trades

  • Before-and-after reveals of a finished job
  • Time-lapse of a full day's work
  • "Here's what we found" walkthroughs of problems you fix
  • Meet the crew introductions
  • Quick tips homeowners can actually use
  • Customer reactions at the final walkthrough

What to stop posting

  • Flyers and text graphics with no people in them
  • Holiday posts with nothing about your business
  • The same promo over and over
  • Long videos with no hook in the first 2 seconds

Consistency beats perfection

Posting a few real videos every week does more than one fancy video a year. Batching content in one shoot day makes that realistic, even in busy season.
