I am involved with the social media for Brisbane Metal Recyclers a local recycling enterprise in Australia and I'm interested in what other small business owners are doing to work well this year.
We have been trying out different kinds of posts, such as educational, short videos, customer stories and behind the scenes, all are trying to see what is working and what isn't when it comes to getting some more organic reach.
So among the various platforms, which will be the most effective in terms of engagement or enquiries for those running local businesses in 2026? Do you create and upload every day, or are you using short form video, or community groups more?
I don't need any general tips on marketing, I want real experiences. What has actually been effective for your business in recent times?
