P.S. If you don't know what a carousel is, it's a 'swipy' post like this one🤗
Been thinking about getting on the TikTok bandwagon but are yet to take the leap?
Here are three reasons why your business should be hopping on TikTok:
1️⃣ Boost your brand awareness: With its algorithm that promotes viral content, TikTok can give your brand a major boost in visibility. By creating shareable content that resonates with your audience, you can reach new customers and expand your brand's reach.
2️⃣ Show off your brand personality: TikTok is all about creativity and authenticity. By creating fun and engaging content, you can showcase your brand personality and connect with your audience on a more personal level.
3️⃣ Everyone's on the platform now: TikTok has been the go-to app for Gen Z and millennials, which means if you're looking to target this demographic, TikTok is 100% the place to be. But in recent times a lot of 'oldies' have started jumping on the platform too. So if you're doubting your audience isn't on TikTok, think again!
So what are you waiting for? Time to start TikToking your way to business success! 🚀💥
Make your brand look pretty on the 'gram, and let loose on TikTok!💃🏼
What do we mean??🤔
TikTok is the platform where you can show your personality, attract like-minded people and grow an engaged and loyal fan base.
The super-engaged followers will then continue their obsession with you and will come across your Insta, where you'll showcase your brand, and your services (almost like your website) and give extra value that converts these followers into your next customer!
Be smart and get these platforms working for you🤗
Building a community around your content is key to long-term success on Instagram.🔑
Not only does it help you grow your following, but it also creates a sense of loyalty and trust with your audience. By consistently providing value and fostering a sense of connection, you can turn your followers into true fans who will eagerly share your content with their own followers.
So if you're looking to take your Instagram game to the next level, remember to actively interact with your audience by responding to comments and messages and creating content that encourages engagement.
With time and dedication, you can build a thriving community of followers who are excited to engage with your brand and support your success.🤗
Caption writing not your strong suit? READ THIS POST👇🏻
When you're writing captions, this template will not only give you great structure but make it easier for you to piece together your caption when you don’t know what to write.
👉🏻 Start with the hook that grabs your audience’s attention.
👉🏻 Follow this with the body where you speak directly to your target audience
👉🏻 Use dot points to break up the text which makes it easier to read
👉🏻 Finish with a CTA that tells your audience what to do next.
Now that you know how to write a successful caption, save this post for later and try these tips!✌🏻
I'd take a loyal fan base over quantity every day of the week!🙏🏼
You don't have to have a massive following or be a famous influencer to make 💸 on the 'gram! You just need to be valuable and address the problem that you're solving for your ideal client.
If your content backs up what you're talking about with good intent, you will start to attract leads.
Look after your loyal fanbase and watch those sales come in hot!🔥🔥
Just ask them! 🗣
Put up a poll on your stories and ask the question "What content would you like to see from me?".
Typically your audience will be straight up on what they want, what they like and want to see from your page. They don't lie!
It's as simple as that.
Encouraging UGC can be a powerful way for businesses to build their brand and engage with their audience!🙌
Here are some ways to encourage UGC for your business:
🔥 Offer incentives to customers who share their experience with your product or service on social media.
🔥 Re-share user-generated content on your socials and they might even share the post with their own following.
🔥 Run a contest where customers can submit photos or videos using your product or service.
🔥 Partner with influencers with a similar audience to yours.
🔥 Set up an area in your venue to encourage people to take group photos and share them on their own socials.
Remember to always ask for permission before sharing photos or videos of your customers and to give credit to the original creator.
With these tips, you can encourage UGC for your business and build a strong brand presence across social media!🤝

Things to do when your engagement is down on Instagram.👎🏼
The future of Instagram presents new storytelling opportunities, ways to promote your business, reach a wider audience, build connections and build an online community.
To do so, here are 5 things you can do to help boost your engagement in today's world of Instagram:
👉🏻 Share more Reels
👉🏻 Include keywords in your strategy
👉🏻 Audit your followers and remove spam accounts
👉🏻 Experiment with different types of posts
👉🏻 Post when your audience is most engaged
You can't be complacent on social media and back the same old strategies and techniques you've been using since 2018. Instagram is evolving, and so should you!
Some have welcomed AI with open arms, while others question whether it's morally correct and are worried that it could even replace their jobs...
In our opinion, there will surely be a rise in the usage of AI-powered tools for creating lengthy articles, email headers, or social media captions. However, the most effective copy still has a human element to it.
Instead, we like to think of AI as a way to help generate ideas and serve as a helper for humans to refine and personalise the content to suit their brand.

Applying the 3 R's of content recycling!♻️
To save time and the brain drain of not having to come up with fresh content ideas every day, keep the following in mind:
👉🏻 Reduce - Mine your existing content for the gold stuff so you don't have to keep coming up with new ideas.
👉🏻 Reuse - Create social media posts with your existing content.
👉🏻 Recycle - Re-share or repurpose well-performing posts from the past.
Do you remember this post? We may have posted it once or twice before...👀😅

Who else is taking a break from the screens over Christmas?🙋🏼
Trying to work out the balance between working and not working over Christmas can be so hard for business owners! Trying to work out where your values lie and what should be a priority or not...
For us, we decided to work harder in the weeks leading up to Christmas to allow time away from the office as we fly back home to Melbourne to spend quality time with our family & friends, some of we haven't seen in months!!
Yes, this means we'll be taking a step back from the screens over the next 2 weeks but that's okay! We have scheduled a few posts in advance to go out here and there to try and keep somewhat relevant through this time. But this holiday period our priority won't be social media and it doesn't have to be for you either.
Enjoy the break and start fresh in the year all guns blazing!!🔥🔥
