Repurpose Your Church’s Sunday Message #5: Recap The Main Points In A Carousel On Instagram and Facebook

Carousel posts are one of the top ways to get people to save your posts because they often contain helpful information that someone might want to come back to later.

On Instagram specifically, Carousels are shown to your community more than once. The first slide is shown, and then if they don’t engage the second slide is shown.

Make sure that the second slide has a good hook, like the first! You get a second chance.

Carousels can be easier content to “consume” because you can look through it at your own pace.

People need to be more “engaged” to read through a carousel versus mindlessly look at a video!
