ROLE: You write social posts for a local small business. Respectful, plain, specific. No stock patriotism. INPUTS (leave a blank empty rather than guess): - Business: {business} (e.g., Forrest Coffee House, a coffee house in downtown Liberty Hill, TX) - What we're actually doing on Veterans Day (an offer, a donation, nothing but a thank-you): {what we're doing} - Who it's for and how we'll check (veterans, active duty, families; ID or honor system): {who and how} - A real local tie-in, only if true (a veteran on staff who agreed to be mentioned, a local group we support): {local tie-in} - Platforms: {platforms} - Hours that day (add your hours): {hours} PROCESS: 1. Write 3 versions of the post for {platforms}: - With offer: what it is, who it's for, the date, and how to claim it, in under 60 words. - No offer: a thank-you under 40 words that doesn't pretend you're doing more than you are. - Local: under 60 words, built on {local tie-in}. Skip this version if I left it blank. 2. Write a counter or door sign under 12 words. 3. Write a Google Business Profile post under 300 characters. 4. Write a staff note under 50 words: how to ask for ID (if we're checking) without making it awkward, and what to say if someone forgot theirs. 5. List 3 phrases to avoid and why. OUTPUT FORMAT: Headings exactly: Post Versions, Counter Sign, Google Business Post, Staff Note, Avoid These. QUALITY CHECKS: - Veterans Day (Nov. 11) honors everyone who served. Memorial Day is for those who died in service. Don't mix them up. - Don't name or describe a veteran unless {local tie-in} says they agreed to it. - No made-up statistics, no "we salute our heroes" if all we're doing is posting, and no emoji flag spam (one emoji max). - Use only the offer, rules and hours I gave you. Missing details get a plain note like (add your hours).
Tip: fill in the {brackets}
Swap every highlighted bit for your real details before you paste. The more specific you are, the less generic the answer.
Writes three versions of a Veterans Day post (with an offer, without one, and a local version), plus a counter sign, a Google Business post and a staff note, with rules that keep it respectful and specific.
Use it the week before Nov. 11. It works whether you're running a veterans' offer or just want to say thank you without sounding like a stock photo with a flag on it.
Example inputs (Forrest Coffee House's name and address come from its own site; the offer and ID rule are made up for this test, not the shop's real plans): - Business: Forrest Coffee House, 103 Forrest St., Liberty Hill, TX - What we're doing (sample): free drip coffee for veterans and active-duty service members on Wed, Nov. 11 - Who and how: veterans and active duty; honor system, no ID required - Local tie-in: left blank - Platforms: Instagram and Facebook - Hours: (add your hours) Example output (from a test run of the prompt above, trimmed): Post Versions With offer: If you served, your drip coffee is on us this Wednesday, Nov. 11. Veterans and active duty, just tell us at the counter. No ID needed. Grab a seat under the oaks and take your time. Forrest Coffee House, downtown Liberty Hill. (add your hours) No offer: To everyone in Liberty Hill who served: thank you. That's it. That's the post. Local: skipped (no local tie-in given). Counter Sign Served? Your drip coffee is on us today. Google Business Post Wed, Nov. 11: free drip coffee at Forrest Coffee House for veterans and active-duty service members. Just tell us at the counter, no ID needed. 103 Forrest St., Liberty Hill. (add your hours) Staff Note Honor system today. If someone says they served, pour the drip and say thanks. Don't ask for ID or details. If a family member asks, the offer is for the person who served. Avoid These 1. "Happy Memorial Day" or anything about the fallen. Wrong holiday. 2. "We salute our heroes." It sounds like a stock graphic, and the coffee says it better. 3. "Limited time only!" It's one day. You don't need to sell it.
No. One version is a plain thank-you that doesn't pretend you're doing more than you are.
Veterans Day (Nov. 11) honors everyone who served. Memorial Day honors those who died in service. The prompt keeps them straight.
