I’ve been busy working on an influencer campaign for one of my clients 💻

Did you know that having a signed agreement is crucial when collaborating with influencers on brand campaigns?

Let me shed some light on this important topic!

📝 Transparency and Clarity: An ideal partnership should be built upon a foundation of trust and understanding. By having a signed agreement, both the brand and the influencer can clearly outline their expectations, deliverables, and payment terms. This ensures that everyone is on the same page, minimising any possible misunderstandings in the future.

💼 Protect Your Brand: A signed agreement helps protect your brand's reputation and image. It allows you to have control over the content shared, ensuring it aligns with your brand values and goals. This way, you can avoid any surprises that may negatively impact your brand's reputation.

💸 Financial Security: Collaborating with influencers often involves financial investments. A signed agreement guarantees that payment terms, rates, and deadlines are agreed upon beforehand, protecting both parties involved. It helps prevent any payment disagreements or potential legal issues down the line.

🌍 Legal Protection: Having a legally binding agreement not only safeguards your business interests but also protects influencers. It clarifies intellectual property rights, content usage, and other legal matters. A well-drafted agreement reduces the risk of misunderstandings and potential disputes, providing peace of mind to all parties involved.

✅ Maximizing Success: Ultimately, having a signed agreement enhances the success of your brand campaigns. It sets clear expectations, establishes a professional working relationship, and ensures that both the brand and the influencer are committed to delivering outstanding results.

So, don’t forget the importance of having a signed agreement when collaborating with influencers!

My top tip for writing captions is…

Write first, edit later 💻

Even the best writers take a few drafts to find the right words, so focus on getting your first draft finished, before you worry about quality.

I’ll often edit my captions 2-3 times before I’m happy with them.

Do you write down ideas and plans for your business or do you try and keep track of them in your head? 😵‍💫

I always have a notebook close at hand - I even carry a small one in my bag - so that I can record any ideas or inspiration as soon as it comes to me.

I often come up with awesome ideas for my clients when I least expect to [grocery shopping, school pickup, cooking dinner] and I have to jot them down before I forget.

I love to flip back through the pages and then start putting the plans into motion 📒

Do you have a Google Business Profile? If so, when was the last time you updated it? 🤔

If I searched for your business right now on Google, what would I find? 🫣

Google Business Profile is a free tool that helps business owners establish an online profile with their location, contact information and customer reviews; but even though it is free to set up and use, it is not a set and forget thing.

You need to make sure you update your profile on a regular basis, to help your business get found in local searches, rank higher than your competitors, and get chosen by more customers.

And the best way to rank higher in results, is to optimize and maintain your listing, just as you would your website.

If you have a physical address, it is super important to keep your listing up-to-date, including your business hours.

I’ve lost track of the number of times I’ve turned up at a business only to find it closed because the owner did not update their opening hours in Google 😠

Let me know in the comments below when was the last time you updated your listing👇🏼
