Your next post is probably hiding in your customers last question.

Your next post is probably hiding in your customers last question.

You think you have nothing to post. But you answered six customer questions today.
“How far ahead should I order?” “Can you deliver?” “Why does this option cost more?”
That is content. More specifically, it’s information people are already asking you for before they buy.

Keep a question list
For one week, write down questions from inquiries, conversations, and consultations. Remove names and private details. Look for questions that repeat or need a longer explanation.


Start with three kinds: questions about choosing, questions about cost, and questions about the process.
A boutique might hear, “How does this fit?” A florist might hear, “Will these flowers last until the event?” A decorator might hear, “What affects the price besides size?”

Use the question in words your customer would recognize.

Answer it like someone is standing in front of you
You don’t need a dramatic hook for every practical answer.


“Wondering why two installations of the same size can have different prices? Here are a few things that affect the work involved.”


Then explain the factors that apply to your service: materials, design complexity, access, travel, or setup time. Use a specific example without exposing someone’s private quote.


Avoid making customers feel silly for asking. They don’t work in your business. What feels obvious to you may be brand new to them.

Give them something they can use
If your post is about ordering deadlines, state your actual lead time and explain what to do if they need something sooner.


If it’s about requesting a quote, list the information that helps you recommend an option. If it’s about product care, explain the steps and limits honestly.
The reader should leave knowing something useful, even if they aren’t ready to purchase today.

Choose a next step that fits the answer
A post explaining your process can point to your inquiry form. A post about planning might invite people to save it. You don’t need to squeeze a sales pitch into every answer.
Notice which questions still come up after you publish. You may need to make the answer easier to find on your website or include it in your customer emails.

For today, choose the question you answered twice this week. Write your usual response, add one example, and tell the reader what to do next. That’s a useful post you can finish without chasing a trend.
