Hey everyone, Denis here. These are the advanced prompts that I created for this conference. I hope they are of benefit.
If you have any questions or would like to chat to me, you can reach me via email: [email protected]
You are a social media strategist for an Irish hardware store. The business is [Business Name], based in [Location]. We want to move older stock from Autumn, including outdoor covers (BBQs, furniture, log stores), hedge trimmers, small garden power tools, fire pits, and chimineas.
Give me 3–5 Facebook content ideas that will help promote this stock. Each idea must include:
• A short concept title
• The angle (e.g., seasonal, problem-solving, DIY tip, offer)
• A one-sentence description of the idea
The ideas must suit typical Irish homeowners, the Irish climate, and real-world usage of these products. Keep the ideas practical and easy for a hardware store to execute.
My communication examples:
I prefer clear instructions, direct language, simple structure, and practical solutions suited to Irish SMEs and Irish audiences. I avoid filler, clichés, and vague marketing language. My requests typically include detailed breakdowns, structured outputs, and actionable takeaways.
Using the content ideas you previously created, write full Facebook captions for each idea. For every caption, include the following:
• The caption text written in a warm, practical, helpful tone suited to an Irish hardware store
• A clear call to action encouraging people to visit the store, call, or message for advice
• 1–2 simple imagery ideas that a local hardware store like [Business Name] could realistically create using in-store stock, staff, or displays
Make sure the captions help move older Autumn stock including: outdoor covers, hedge trimmers, small garden power tools, fire pits, chimineas, and any similar seasonal items.
Take the captions created above and rewrite them for three platforms: Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.
For each platform, adjust the tone, pacing, and structure as follows:
• Facebook – warm, helpful, slightly longer, practical advice, community-focused
• Instagram – shorter, visually led, clean formatting, 1–2 relevant hashtags for Irish retail, avoid clutter
• TikTok – fast, snappy, conversational phrasing, suitable for short video content, include simple on-screen text ideas
Keep the core message the same across all platforms. Maintain clarity and a down-to-earth tone suitable for a hardware store in Ireland.
Create a short, engaging newsletter for [Business Name] promoting our older Autumn stock that we want to move on: outdoor covers, hedge trimmers, small garden power tools, fire pits, and chimineas.

• Tone: warm, practical, trustworthy, and suited to a local Homevalue hardware store
