On Saturday the 12th of July, the small businesses of Swadlincote will be taking over the high street and the Delph to showcase their skills, products and services 🙌

As well as all these fantastic local businesses to discover, we will have fun entertainment, live music, demos, emergency services meet and greets, plus free family fun including face painting and a bouncy castle

It's a day not to be missed. Last year was an incredible success and this year is already 3x the size! 😱

Bring the family into town on Friday 12th July for a fantastic day out! Support local businesses, join in with interactive sessions, and enjoy the buzz as the community comes together for a celebration of our local people.

Well, I'm in demand! Apparently, my inbox is full and I haven't received your emails since yesterday morning 🙈

Back-to-back meetings and consulting today have meant I've only just been able to resolve it but if you've emailed me - please now resend. The last 2 weeks before the Swadlincote Small Business Showcase are particularly busy, but I will always try and respond - please get in touch with me via email, or message me here.

Those days when you post something that you think is really valuable and not one single person gives you a like - they absolutely suck! We've all been there. Sometimes it just feels like the algorithm is against us.😫

But, your post didn’t flop, it planted a seed. 🌱

Engagement might be low sometimes, but people are watching and listening. They might not need your business today, but when they do, your posts will shape their decision and you’ll be the ONLY one for the job in their mind.

Don’t let those quiet periods bring you down.
Keep showing up with purpose, keep planting seeds. Your consistency is building trust, and that trust will pay off.

You’ve got this. Keep going. 💪

It’s TRIAL REELS WEEK! 🎉

This week in bootcamp we’re going to learn about something that’s honestly one of the best features Instagram’s rolled out in ages – Trial Reels.

If you haven’t used them yet, they’re basically a way to test the waters without committing content to your grid (or current followers). You get to try out content, see what works, and tweak things as you go – and it all goes out to a completely new audience, NOT your followers. 🙌

Loads of people are getting brilliant reach (and even new followers) just from giving it a go. Instagram is loving this feature right now, so let’s use it to our advantage!

This week I want you to post TWO Trial Reels.
They don’t need to be polished or perfect – just have a go.
Try a trend, share a tip, film a behind-the-scenes… whatever feels doable.

Don't forget what we've learned in previous bootcamp tasks, think about visual hooks, captions, call to actions etc..

Treat it like a mini experiment. Have fun with it and the best news of all, you can reuse videos you've already published and throw them out as trial reels reaching new audiences to see if they bring new followers and engagement.

Upload a reel in the normal way, then just toggle across to 'trial reels' and hit publish! 🙌

Let us know how you get on.

I was grateful to receive some very honest feedback about my Purposeful Social Media Planner yesterday:

"I love it, but I know I'd put it in a drawer and forget about it"

❌ No, no, no, no, no ❌

I want to see you all WIN at Social Media!!

So here's the idea, what If I run small group sessions. You bring your planner, and we will go through it together, I will show you how to get the most out of it, audit your accounts, complete competitor analysis as well as integrate AI into the content planning side to spark some Inspiration and creativity.

I will need to put a small fee against it but there are 2 options here:

1. We go cheap as chips. I will source a budget friendly venue and keep costs as low as possible - with no frills attached.

2. May as well throw in a lunch and enjoy some socialising after a morning of hard work and productive marketing planning.

What do you think, would these sessions be beneficial to you? You'll go home with a clear marketing strategy, filled in planner and a month of content mapped out for you that works towards your current goals.

And would you want to enjoy a little social time afterwards as we've such a lovely bunch of local businesses?

Let me know your thoughts 😊

As a marketing consultant, why did I go to a Google training day?

Because SEO is constantly changing, and as we move towards a huge shift in the digital world driven by AI, I was keen to stay ahead of the game and ensure the strategies I implement for businesses are built with the future in mind.

I got to ask some very valuable questions around the impacts of generative search on SEO practices as well as hear about new initiatives that Google are currently beta testing before rolling out to the public.

So when I heard Google were hitting my home town, yea I was one of the first to sign up. As a marketing consultant, I will continue to learn, test my own knowledge and ensure I'm up to date with the very best information and practices 😎.

Plus, I got to hang out with this lovely bunch (as well as a load more not in the photos).

Thank you for arranging Samantha Niblett MP .

What a brilliant evening!

Last night, I had the pleasure of presenting to 40 amazing local businesses - and what an engaged, switched-on bunch they were!

We explored tips and tricks for making a real impact at the upcoming Swadlincote Small Business Showcase on 12th July, followed by a cuppa, biscuit, networking and lots of natter about running a business in this fantastic area.

The event was funded by South Derbyshire Business Advice Service who are always supportive of helping local businesses (give their new page a follow to keep up with local business support ;) ), and hosted at South Derbyshire CVS, a local charity and foodbank offering a host of important services for people in our community.

Thank you to all those who came along, next stop Showcase Day!!
