How Often Should a Local Store Post

Short answer

Two to three posts a week, at whatever pace you can actually sustain. Consistency matters more than volume: two a week for three months beats one a day for one month.

Who this is for

For shops just starting out and unsure of the pace, and for owners whose posting stopped after a burst.

Steps

1. Start with a number you are sure you can hit, usually two a week. Do not begin with daily. 2. Fix the same two days each week instead of posting whenever you remember. 3. Produce a whole week in one sitting. Making each post on the day is what breaks the habit. 4. Keep two spare posts ready and use them in a busy week. 5. Only consider increasing after a full month without a gap.

Example output

A kopitiam aimed for daily posts, stopped after nine days, and posted nothing for two months. Switching to one post each Tuesday and Friday, both made on Sunday, kept it running for three months without a gap.

FAQ

Is posting more always better?

Only if you can keep it up. A one-month burst followed by silence performs worse than a steady two a week.

Which days are best?

Fix a schedule first. Which days work better is something you measure later, not guess at the start.

Does batching make content feel stale?

No. Customers see the moment it is published, not when it was made.

Can I restart after a long gap?

Yes. Begin again at two a week and do not try to make up for missed posts.
