We want to showcase your amazing offerings and experiences! Here's how you can be featured on our Facebook, Instagram or Tiktok pages:

  1. Tag us on Instagram: Tag us in your content @westcoastnewzealand and use a hashtag #WestCoastNZ in your posts. This helps us and the software we use to find your content.
  2. Sharing in Stories: We may feature your stories and posts in our stories, offering increased visibility for your business.
  3. Content Sharing: We may request rights to repost your content by commenting on your post or reaching out directly. If we end up using the content for a post it will get your offerings in front of thousands of people.

If you have new photos of your product, feel free to email them directly to us (noora@dwc.org.nz) so we can use them to create social media content and also include them in our image library.

Our organic social media content has been performing well during the end of summer and autumn. Our audience engages well with posts giving ideas of things to do around the West Coast, as well as scroll-stopping scenery images and hidden gems. On Instagram, Reels drive most of the traffic, attracting new followers, while on Facebook, photo posts currently work better.
