You know what’s really weird? Our fascination with reality! Think about it, we’re living real lives and everyone else is living real lives, but when we’re looking to escape — we want to escape to someone else’s real life! So what’s the special sauce behind reality TV and why can’t we get enough?

One word: Drama.

When something isn’t scripted, anything can happen. We all want to know what’s going to happen next! It’s this suspense that gets people hooked on shows like “Flip or Flop” and so many others like it. Drama, suspense, and a peek behind the curtain make up all the ingredients for great marketing and you can take advantage of this in your own marketing too.

Add Your Own Dash of Reality

We’ve made hundreds of posts ready to be used in your social media. And although our posts cover six important post categories, there are some important posts we simply can’t do for you because we can’t be at every single job site or home inspection.

In addition to our posts, it’s really important to add your own. They don’t have to be big productions. In fact, they can be quick videos or images captured with your smartphone. These behind-the-scenes glimpses into your daily activities capture attention and ignite the curiosity of your audience.
