Brand Trust Matters! According to the 2020 Edelman Study on brand trust, 70% of participants polled stated that brand trust is more important now than ever to them. Meaning, the degree to which people trust a brand plays a huge role in the likelihood they will become customers. What's a great way to build the trust of your brand? Customer testimonials, of course! (bet you saw that one coming ๐Ÿ˜‰) Testimonials are a form of "social proof", making people more likely to follow through when they see others are doing it too! You can display testimonials in many different places (with permission)- on your homepage, social media posts, email campaigns, or on a testimonial page.. just to name a few. How do you get a testimonial? Step number one is asking for it! Tip: make it easy for them and tell them exactly where to go to leave a raving review.

Ok, this may sound like a fluffy overused statement - but let's stop and think about this for a minute.โ  โ  Why did you create your business? If your answer is "to sell x service or product" - it's time for you to do some digging. Brands grow because of the value they bring and the problems they solve. How is your brand helping people?โ  โ  If you have a clear idea of what your ๐˜„๐—ต๐˜† is, are you sharing that enough with your target audience? The best way to differentiate yourself from your competitors is to share your mission - ie your company's reason for being.โ  โ  For more context on the importance of focusing on your ๐˜„๐—ต๐˜† search "The Golden Circle" by Simon Sinek. To summarize, Sinek states that many businesses are good at knowing and communicating ๐˜ธ๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ต they do and ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ they do it, but not (most importantly) ๐˜ธ๐˜ฉ๐˜บ they do it.

Hey Entrepreneurs! Hereโ€™s a few weird (but great) business rules to follow if your business is really starting to wearing on you.๐Ÿค” 1. Stop taking business advice from people who work more than you want to. Their marketing system might work, but it will require more than you want to give. 2. Stop doing things as a โ€œmeans to an end.โ€ Taking tons of exhausting private client work so that you can create a course someday? Just create the course! 3. Stop optimizing for profit first! Build a business that gives you the flexibility and freedom that you desire, and learn how to make money inside that. Zoom out and take a look from the 50k foot view. Is what youโ€™re doing sustainable long term? Where can you get better? Where can you save time for YOU?
โ€œWhy are my customers not converting?โ€ ๐Ÿค” This is something we hear a lot, and hereโ€™s how we help clients overcome this challenge. ๐Ÿฐ The marketing funnel! It helps you to visualize every step of your prospectโ€™s journey, and depicts which types of content are best for a specific stage in the customer life cycle. If you follow the funnel, you can see where people are losing interest/engagement is falling off. Why is that helpful? It allows you to rework just that specific area, and not toss your whole strategy when parts of it are working!

Nobody is on social media to be sold to! โŒ โ  As a general rule, 80% of your content should deliver some sort of value to your audience without being overtly sales-y.โ  โ  But if you're not pushing for a sale, why would anyone ever think to buy from you? It's simple - ๐˜ต๐˜ณ๐˜ถ๐˜ด๐˜ต. When you give people enough value for free, they're much more likely to see that you're worth working with or buying from.โ  โ  Meaning, 80% of the content that you create fits into one of the following categories:โ  โ  ๐Ÿฐ Entertainingโ  ๐Ÿฐ Inspiring โ  ๐Ÿฐ Educationalโ  โ  The other 20% of posts can be more directly promotional to your brand. Keep in mind, though, that you still should ensure that the post provides a real incentive to the viewer.โ  โ  Consider posts like: โ  ๐Ÿฐ Product demos โ†’ so people can see how the product could work for themโ  ๐Ÿฐ Customer testimonials โ†’ hearing from people who have previously purchasedโ  ๐Ÿฐ Positive media coverage โ†’ 3rd party validation from recognized media outletsโ  ๐Ÿฐ Discounts โ†’ the option to get your product at a cheaper price than usual

Simultaneous entrepreneurship consists of integrating all stages of the entrepreneurship process in order to considerably reduce time and increase the possibility that entrepreneurs acquire a comprehensive, total vision of the business, practically from the project idea.

Self talk is so important, and especially for entrepreneurs! ๐Ÿ‘ Every person is essentially self-made. The great principle, "You become what you think about most of the time," refers to what you're thinking today, at this very moment. It is not your thinking of the past or your thinking in the future that determines the course of your destiny. Everything you are and everything you will be is determined by what you think at each moment. And you can take complete control of those thoughts at any time you decide to. ๐Ÿฐ Tell us!๐Ÿ‘‡Whatโ€™s one affirmation you tell yourself regularly to stay on track with your goals?
What is lead generation? ๐Ÿค” Lead generation falls under the โ€˜Considerationโ€™ objective in Facebook ads, and is used to help ๐—ด๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜„ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐—น ๐—น๐—ถ๐˜€๐˜! This objective allows you to generate leads very efficiently, and Facebookโ€™s mechanism makes the customer experience in signing up simple and easy so cost per leadโ€™s can be really inexpensive! When setting up your lead gen ads, you need to consider how you approach this to ensure youโ€™re getting the lowest cost per lead (๐—–๐—ฃ๐—Ÿ) as possible, whilst also ensuring youโ€™re generating quality leads. Here are a few doโ€™s and dontโ€™s: ๐Ÿฐ DO create multiple variations of your lead gen ad with different creative, as different creative will appeal to different people โŒ DONโ€™T only run one single lead gen ad in a campaign on itโ€™s own - this will lead to higher CPLs ๐Ÿฐ DO appeal to quality leads who are interested in your product/industry and so will be more likely to buy. Use copy such as: โ€˜Sign up to be the first to hear about NEW product launchesโ€™ or โ€˜Sign up to become a VIP/receive exclusive discountsโ€™ โŒ DONโ€™T use competitions to grow your email base... โ€˜Sign up to winโ€™ lead gen ads will have lower CPLโ€™s! However, these will be poor quality leads that could be uninterested in your business, and unlikely to buy. ๐Ÿฐ DO ensure you have a CRM workflow in place, that welcomes these new leads to your brand and can help to turn them into loyal customers!

People can search for posts through the geolocation and so youโ€™ll potentially appear in content for that geolocation. ๐Ÿ” This will help you to be connected with your target market in a certain area and even appear in search results for any potential customers! ๐Ÿฐ

Ignoring (potential) customers on social media is similar to ignoring the ringing phone when they call your business.

Taking photos for social media is more involved than you think! ๐Ÿ“ธ โ € Creating consistent and quality images for your social media presence involves time and planning. โฐ We live in a highly visual world these days and if you're trying to highlight yourself or your business, you need to put in some effort. โ € When taking images, remember to:โ € ๐Ÿฐ Consider lighting: Whatever youโ€™re photographing shouldn't be backlit. Natural lighting is best, but when in doubt, bring a ring light. ๐Ÿฐ Frame the shot properly for the platform you're preparing content for: Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn all have different specs. Know what you're shooting for and plan accordingly. โ € ๐Ÿฐ Be intentional: It takes time to set up good shots. Don't try to cram it in; block off time in your schedule to dedicate to getting it done right. โ € ๐Ÿฐ Hire a professional: Bring in a real photographer a few times a year (quarterly is a good goal) to ensure you have high-resolution, professional images, just like we did here with Photography & Wall Stylings by Christy ๐Ÿฐ Using high-quality stock photos can help fill the gaps, we really like Unsplash and Freepik! โ € Finally, remember to HAVE FUN because that's what social media is all about!

There are tons of social media myths that circulate long enough to become beliefs, hereโ€™s a list of a few of our โ€˜favoriteโ€™ myths weโ€™ve heard: โŒ An account's success is measured by the number of followers This myth is almost engrained in people - when we visit a user's account, we instantly look at the # of followers and this actually has nothing to do with how successful they are! Rather we should be focusing on the "quality" of their followers - and are they actively engaged? โŒ You need to be on all social channels Nope! If a channel isn't right for your business and your customers/potential customers are not there, then why put any effort at all into upholding that account? If anything, this is a waste of time. Put all your energy into a few platforms that you KNOW your audience is on. โŒ Social Media isn't right for all businesses I can't think of many businesses that don't have SOME potential customers/leads that aren't somewhere online. The majority of the population spends at least some time online, in some form. If they don't now, then they will be very soon. โŒAlways use a CTA Stop forever selling to your followers and engage with them! Educate them and give them something valuable. They are not on social media to be sold to, theyโ€™re there to be social! โŒ Success of social campaigns can only be measured in likes and shares Social campaigns can be tracked just as well as any other form of digital marketing. If you are tracking conversions and events correctly then you will be able to see what type of actions your followers are taking on your content.
