Social Strudel gives bookstores the power to run rich reader circle experiences that bring creators and customers together. Here’s how your store can turn literary love into lasting loyalty using the platform’s top features—and how it works seamlessly with platforms like Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, Pinterest, Twitter/X, Threads, YouTube Shorts, YouTube Posts, and Google Business Posts.
1. Monthly Highlight Post
Feature your monthly pick with a beautifully branded post scheduled across all platforms at once. Social Strudel’s calendar makes it easy to keep your reader circle in sync whether readers are on Facebook or browsing Instagram Stories. Add behind-the-scenes author trivia or teasers to boost curiosity and pre-orders.
2. Daily Quote Cards
Use Social Strudel’s automation templates to spin out quote cards from current or upcoming books. Pair them with AI-generated captions and relevant niche hashtags for each platform. These punchy posts keep your content engine running while sparking bite-sized discussions on Threads and Pinterest.
3. Customer Bookshelf Challenges
Start a bookshelf photo prompt and invite your reader circle to flaunt their collections. Through Social Strudel, you can run a photo challenge across TikTok, LinkedIn, and Instagram at once—no need to copy-paste content. The built-in analytics dashboard shows you the highest-performing visuals and hashtags for future use.
4. Star Reviews and Creator Spotlights
Creators and influencers in your circle can easily submit video reviews or carousel posts. Social Strudel allows you to schedule, tag, and amplify this UGC as part of a campaign—from TikTok reels to YouTube Shorts—all from a single dashboard. Set up reusable prompts and automate republishing on a monthly basis.
5. Invite-A-Friend Campaigns
Fuel the circle’s growth with issue-based invites. Social Strudel lets you A/B test invite messages and trigger platform-specific call-to-actions. Leverage your customers’ organic reach on Facebook and WhatsApp with auto-generated invite links tailored for community-centric incentives.
