How to Add TrunkShow to Your Existing Posting Routine (Without Extra Work)
If you are already posting on Instagram, Facebook, or Threads, you are doing the hard part.
TrunkShow is not meant to replace your social media. It is meant to work alongside it.
The goal is simple: take what you are already posting, and make sure it is also working for you on TrunkShow.
The Core Idea: Post Once, Use Twice
Most dyers already have a rhythm:
- New yarn drop
- Restock update
- Shop update
- Behind the scenes
Instead of creating something new for TrunkShow, reuse that same content.
If you are posting it on Instagram, it can also be a TrunkShow post.
What Makes TrunkShow Different
Social media posts disappear quickly.
TrunkShow posts:
- Stay active for 14 days
- Keep a visible call to action
- Are seen by people actively looking for yarn
That means your post is not just content. It becomes a listing.
A Simple Posting Workflow
Here is an easy way to integrate TrunkShow into what you already do:
Step 1: Create your content like normal
Take your photos, write your caption, post to Instagram (or wherever you usually post).
Step 2: Copy your caption
No need to rewrite anything.
Step 3: Create a TrunkShow post
- Upload the same image
- Paste your caption
- Add your shop link
- Add a few tags
That is it. You are done in a minute or two.
What to Prioritize on TrunkShow
Not every post needs to go on TrunkShow.
Focus on posts that have a clear action:
- New yarn available
- Limited quantities
- Shop updates
- Event drops
Think: “Can someone buy or act on this right now?”
If yes, it belongs on TrunkShow.
Use the 14-Day Window
Every TrunkShow post stays active for 14 days.
This gives you options:
- Let it run its full life
- Bump it near the end
- Replace it with a new drop
You are not fighting an algorithm. You are working with time.
Pair It With Your Existing Strategy

Then this becomes even easier.
Your TrunkShow posts naturally line up with:
- Your weekly drops
- Your restocks
- Your spotlight slot
You are not adding work. You are reinforcing what you are already doing.
Final Thought
You already have the content.
TrunkShow just gives that content a longer life and a clearer purpose.
Post where you normally post.
Then make it count on TrunkShow too.
