Big up Mike for this lovely review ♥️

I’m beyond grateful to work with such incredible businesses and help them navigate the world of social media. Knowing I’ve made the process easier and more approachable means everything to me! 🙌

Here’s what Mike had to say:
“We've recently started working with Bethany, she is fantastic. I know very little about social media, but understand it's importance to the business.

Bethany visited us, talked us through what she could do, thankfully used words I could understand. She was keen to learn about the business and get to grips with what we where hoping to achieve.

She's been fantastic, looking forward to working together for a long time."

If we’ve worked together and you’d like to leave a testimonial, I’d be over the moon! Your words not only mean so much to me but also help me grow and reach more amazing businesses🌱

Drop me a message if you need the link!

Thank you, Mike, and thank you to everyone who’s supported Black Cat Studio! 🖤✨

Hey everyone!
I wanted to see if there might be any interest in a little project I'm trying to start 🥰

Every year in the lead-up to Christmas, my boyfriend and I have a little competition to see who can donate more cat & dog Christmas dinners at Pets at Home.

This year, I'd love to be able to use my small platform to go beyond this and be able to donate resources to our local animal rescues. 🐾

Think of this as the shoebox appeals we used to do in Primary School! But for cats and dogs instead! 🐈‍⬛🐕

It doesn't have to be anything major, I completely understand that this time of year can be a big financial strain on people, but if you have any old towels or blankets, or perhaps a fussy pet that's gone off the food you just bought, please feel free to give me a message and I'd happily come collect these from you!

Thanks so much for reading, I appreciate any support I could get with this ❤️

Why is a social media manager your business’s secret weapon? Here’s why 👇

✨ Time Back in Your Hands
Managing social media is a full-time commitment. By outsourcing it, you free up precious hours to focus on your business’s core. Imagine the relief of knowing your online presence is in expert hands.

🕹️ Algorithm? Sorted.
Keeping up with constant social media changes can feel impossible, but that’s where I come in! I stay up-to-date on what works best, so you don’t have to worry about figuring out the latest trends.

🎃👻 Alright, I know what you’re thinking… it’s still spooky season! And trust me, I’m all for the pumpkins, the ghosts, and all things Halloween 👻 BUT from a business perspective, it’s time to start getting festive! 🎄✨

🎁 If you want your social media to sparkle with Christmas vibes this year, you need to start prepping NOW! Here are a few of my top tips to help get your Christmas content all wrapped up like a perfect gift:

1️⃣ Identify what you want to push this Christmas
Are you promoting gift cards? Highlighting festive products or services? Make a plan on how to showcase these offerings over the next few months.

2️⃣ Make it feel Christmassy 🎅
Plan your content shoots now! Get those twinkly lights, cosy blankets, and maybe even a cheeky Santa hat. Don't wait until December to realise you’ve got nothing but sunny summer snaps!

3️⃣ Create a content calendar
Map out your posts and promotions from now until the end of the year. Think about Black Friday deals, Christmas countdowns, and New Year promotions – and plot them into your timeline.

4️⃣ Consider giveaways or festive promotions 🎁
Everyone loves a good Christmas giveaway! Think about how you can engage your followers with something fun and festive, like a holiday-themed competition.

5️⃣ Start teasing your festive offerings early!
Don’t wait until December to reveal your Christmas plans! Start sprinkling little hints throughout November to build excitement and anticipation.

There’s no such thing as being too organised when it comes to the holiday season (even if Halloween is clearly superior 🎃). So, get planning, get festive, and let’s make this your best Christmas marketing yet! 💪

Hey everyone! 👋

October marks 6 months of Black Cat Studio! Insane how quickly 2024 has gone!

I wanted to share my goals for this month now that I’m half way through my first year of business! ✨

🌟 First, I want to try to get myself into a better routine. Self employment is VERY different to being in a regular workplace, I’m trying to structure my week better to get the most out of my working hours!

AND I’m trying to add in some light exercise to help with my fibromyalgia!

This past week I’ve managed to do 2 1/2 runs in the challenge! 👊

🌟 Next, I want to continue growing my business and reach 200 followers

🌟 And finally I want to actually get into a solid routine of creating and publishing my own content, including more videos!

Here’s to many more months of Black Cat Studio and thank you for all your support 🥰♥️🐈‍⬛

Thank you very much to the lovely group at Wanado Networking who were very supportive of my presentation this morning 🥰

We had the wonderful Bethany Mitchell from Black Cat Studio as our Business Showcase this morning; thanks for the brilliant presentation! 👏 It was refreshing to hear more about her background and genuine passion for social media. We were even treated to a sneak peek of her new website - can't wait to see it go live later this month 🤞

And let's not forget the introduction to her extensive team - Bethany and her four feline assistants! 🐱🐱🐱🐱 Talk about purr-fect collaboration!

It was inspiring to hear how many of our members have also been dedicating time to their own businesses and planning for the future recently. There's a real sense of growth and progress in the air... Here's to watching those next steps unfold for everyone! 😁
