✨STUCK ON SOCIALS WORKSHOP✨

🗓️Friday 28th July 2023
📍Quinns Bar Newcastle Co.Down
⏰ 11am-2:30pm
🎟️ Buy your Tickets Now!

Are you a business that has tried Social Media but it just doesn’t seem to work for you? 🤯

It’s causing you frustration because you see how much success other businesses and even competitors are having on it?
Why can’t that be you? 😡

Well actually…it can! You just need some training. 🤝🏼

*Insert the Stuck On Socials Workshop*

Reason #1 for hosting this workshop: Having a Social Media Manager is expensive and often a luxury for businesses. I want to create an affordable workshop to help businesses who don’t have that luxury but still want results💰

Whether you’re just starting out in business or looking a Marketing refresher course then this workshop will be perfect for you!

If you don't know the difference then I'm here to explain so LISTEN UP!👂🏽

✨BRANDING✨

Building a brand takes time ⏰

But the time you spend working on and creating your brand is ALWAYS time well spent.

Are you feeling stuck and unsure about how to really stand out with your brand? 💥

5 THINGS TO ASK YOURSELF⬇️

❎Who is my target market?
❎How would I describe my business?
❎What do I want to be known for?
❎What do I want people to feel when? they purchase my product/service?
❎Why should someone buy from me over my competitors?

Stop spending money, start spending time.

23/11/2020

❌THIS is the problem❌

Everyone, myself included, is guilty of focusing on THOUSANDS of followers 📈

But by focusing on this, we ignore the followers we already have! 🤷🏽‍♀️

Imagine using that energy to make our business page a BETTER experience for the followers who already love what we do! 🌟

As my Da says ‘take your points, the goals will come’ 🏐

5 reasons why you need to STOP thinking about yourself💁🏽‍♀️
..when posting on your business accounts👩🏽‍💻➡️

#1 You need to think about your consumers.

#2 Don’t ASSUME what your followers engage with. Use your insights and KNOW what they engage with.

#3 Don’t sell your business to yourself, sell it to your customers! What appeals to you may not appeal to them.

#4 One person doesn’t speak for a whole demographic. Take a look at the bigger picture.

#5 Take the time to reply to your followers.
