Did you see the difference?⤵️

It’s time to stop being lazy when it comes to writing captions! They are essential for marketing yourself on Instagram.

Photos or reels grab the attention, your caption is what draws people in and forms an emotional attachment to your business which leads to…SALES

So instead of wishing a happy holiday or weekend, go the extra mile and think of how your client could use what you do, or how you solve a problem they might have.

➡️Tell a story and build a relationship.

Everyone wants sales from their social media. So if you are posting, make the most of your efforts!

And now it’s YOUR turn!

SAVE this post and use an idea as a template for your next weekend or long weekend post.

Tell me you have seen the “Schedule Content 30 Days in Advance” and you rolled your eyes👀 !

Now, I am not saying scheduled content is a bad thing and for some of our clients, it works great. However, for contractors and service-based businesses, it is literally mission impossible.

You need to post on the fly! While the action is happening (or recently happening).

Cue: realtors with a new listing or contractors on a job site.

We know this because this is the majority of our clients. Content sent and reel created and posted often the same day!!!

Here is the trick! Your “on-the-fly content” should still have a strategy!!! 👉Do not post just to post!

Take time at the start of every week to think about the content you could possibly have and what you don’t want to miss! If you have a team or a crew this will also help them not to forget to pull out their phones for something good!

Make sure you save this and send it to someone you know who “posts-on-the -fly”!!!

Sorry, but people will say a lot of things just to get your business😬

What are the 3 main things we get asked when we first meet with clients?

When will we go viral?

How many new followers will I get every month?

How much will my sales increase?

Here is the thing…if any Social Media Company promises or guarantees you a specific number on even one of these questions (and we have seen it often) - RUN💨

Here is what should be done instead:

-A guarantee of creating great content that stops the scroll and gets potential clients to like what you post and share with others.

-A promise of helping to build a community with the followers you do have, and engaging with them.

-Help with managing your sales funnel, and what happens once they see you on social media?

It’s time to stop worrying about followers and vitality and posting “just to post”. 🙈

Focus on a strategy that levels up your brand awareness, puts a focus on engagement and actually sells what you do!

What do you think? Are business cards still necessary? A few weeks ago I met with a new client and handed her a business card that had my old logo with gold etching and a beautiful shade of purple on it…not my finest moment🤦‍♀️

Loving these new simple cards with our fab new logo (goodbye gold & purple). I printed these through Canva and I am happy with the quality and the price was great. Plus, no shipping!

I am curious do you think business cards are still relevant? Do you still use them? Let me know in the comments.
