Could you do without the stress?

As business owners, most days seem like a blur, especially at this time of the year when we’re all so busy! 😰

With so much to do, it’s natural that creating content or even building a social presence in general isn’t at the top of your mind. Or it is, but you don’t have the time or understanding of social media to make it worth your while.

If 2022 has taught us anything, it’s the ⚡️POWER⚡️that social media holds for businesses. Through effective and committed marketing on socials, you have the potential to smash your 2023 goals and even exceed them.

With the help of my tailored training guide, you’ll be equipped with all of the knowledge and tools to use social media to your advantage and start to see that growth WITHOUT working yourself silly trying to do it all. Everything works around you and your schedule.

First things first….

Going viral often increases your profile views, followers and engagement, which is great right?

Ask yourself…

⚡️ Are people viewing your profile and being drawn in by your account?

⚡️Are consumers following you because they genuinely love your brand and want to buy / learn from you, or following because of one viral Reel or Tik Tok?

⚡️Is engagement boosted on just the one viral post, or are you gradually receiving more meaningful comments across all posts?

Going viral SHOULD NOT be a part of your social strategy. Vanity metrics are often very misleading, they make you look good to others but leave you still wondering why your sales aren’t increasing.

It’s the ACTIONABLE METRICS that you need to be analysing with an effective strategy to guide you.

That’s a BIG statistic 💥

Emotion marketing is a form of marketing that I am so in love with but I think often gets overlooked.

It can be the real difference between content that grows you a following and content that grows your revenue.

✈️🐚🌊👙

After 3 long years of not going abroad, I’m so excited to say I’m finally going away!

My last proper holiday was back in 2019 when I went to Florida so I’m sooo ready for this trip!

First stop…

✨Paris✨

When I first started my business I did a Q&A and someone asked where would be my dream getaway destination and I said Paris, so now 6 months later, I’m very proud to be able to go! 😁

I’m not going to say that I won’t be posting and I’ll be completely off my phone because that just never seems to happen 😂 but I’ll be back answering my DM’s etc from the 15th August 🤍

I hope everyone has a lovely end to their week 💗

WHY DID YOU START?

I know everyone who starts a business obviously wants to be successful, but what we all fail to grasp before going it alone is just how hard it can be. It takes a huge amount of work to take something that is nothing and turn it into something incredible.

Do you remember why you started your business? Was it to fuel your passion, make more money, be in control of your own time or a mixture of everything?

Would you say that you are happy with where you’re at now with your business?

If not, I can help.

By hiring me as your Social Media Manager, I can give you and your passion the pedestal it deserves, implement a social strategy that will drive traffic to your website and increase sales and give you your time back by taking over a task that you know is important to the success of your business.

As a business owner myself, I understand the passion, hard work, determination and perseverance that goes into running a successful business and I want nothing more than to help other business owners make their dreams a reality ✨

NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS

Wait… let me explain.

They care about your brand.

Your brand is the REASON people buy from you and your business is HOW they buy from you.

Your brand is what people relate to, connect with and are inspired by, so in order to grow on social media you need to emphasise what your brand stands for rather than your business.

That can be time consuming and tricky to wrap your head around, but once you start creating content with that in mind, you are guaranteed to come across as much more genuine, authentic and inspiring. Your socials will start to grow at a rapid rate therefore increasing your brand awareness and driving sales through to your website. From there we can smash those business goals and create even more to work towards!

// INSTA UPDATES //

Keeping up to date on all of the latest changes to the app can be overwhelming, so I’ve compiled 3 of my favourites, and in my opinion most influential updates from June so you don’t have to go scouring the internet yourself.

📌 GRID PINNING 📌

Grid Pinning has finally come to Instagram and I’m here for it! Pinning your most educational /emotive / promotional posts combined with optimising your bio allows the consumer to be able to find out everything they need to know about your business and means that you can catch their attention instantly.

✨ CREATOR MARKETPLACE ✨

The Creator Marketplace is an amazing tool for a business in the beauty / lifestyle / wellness industry as you will be able to connect and discover influencers who you think can really carry your brand message across to your audience. Although they are still only trialling it, I hope it is here to stay.

🧘🏼‍♀️ TAKE A BREAK 🧘🏼‍♀️

The take a break feature is something I think all of us have needed. It can be so easy to say 5 more minutes! We need to divert our attention eleswhere, move our bodies, get fresh air and live! There is such a thing as too much social media, and in order to stay happy, healthy and positive we need to be taking frequent breaks and cut down our usage.

What do you think to these updates? Let me know in the comments 🤍

⚡️⚡️⚡️

Brand awareness is a fundamental key to your businesses success.

We are all aware of how mainstream marketing works to increase brand awareness such as TV ads etc, but when it comes to increasing brand awareness through social media are you aware of just how important it really is?

By utilising social media to obtain successful brand awareness you will direct more traffic to your website and gain trust - consumers like to do their research before they buy and there’s no better place than Instagram and Facebook for them to do their research on your brand. It shows you all the reviews and pictures people have taken of your product so if you’re an online business having unmatched and unique social media will really help you stand out from the crowd.

This will all lead to increased sales and customer loyalty!

Looking for some help on all of the above or want to learn more? DM me and we can chat ☺️💗

✨VALUE ✨

Investing in your business can be scary when it involves a third party. I know it’s common to have doubts or wonder ‘are they actually going to be worth it?’ Or ‘but do I really need to put my hard earned money into someone else when I know I will put triple the effort into my business?’

Even though these thoughts can occur regularly, can you really put a price on time?

The value of having a Social Media Manager is that you will have so much extra time! Time that you can spend on other areas of your business, spending more time with family, travelling, learning new things or finding more inspiration for your business!

All whilst I’m raising your brand awareness/reputation, bringing in more clients, forming relationships, researching the latest trends so you’re always changing with the times, analysing competitors and regularly liaising with clients. (To name a few)

If you feel like you want your time back DM me 🤍✨☺️

🤍 INSPO 🤍

It can be sooo hard to know what sort of content to post on Instagram, to know what does well and what doesn’t and how you want your brand to come across online, let alone actually having the time to create your content 🤷🏼‍♀️

At gesocials we pride ourselves on being able to solve all of these problems for you. With a passion for social media and creativity, we can tackle your online struggles head on, either by creating and scheduling your content or through Social Media Management.

You then have the stress, anxiety and problem taken away and can relax as you watch your socials grow.

Here is an example of an Instagram grid for an aesthetician, it includes the 3 main content pillars - Educational, Aspirational and Promotional content.

If you’re interested in either of my Content Creation or Social Media Management packages I’m opening slots up for the coming months. DM me if you’d like to find out more ☺️💗

HOW DO YOU KNOW ITS TIME TO INVEST?

It can be really difficult to know when the right time is to invest in a Social Media Manager. A lot of people think they can keep pushing it back and carry the load themselves or simply just don’t think they’re at the point where they need help.

Are you…

🤍Working crazy long working hours

🤍 Not sure how to reach your audience

🤍 Missing DM’s from clients

🤍Struggling to balance all aspects of your business

🤍 Finding it difficult to create unique and eye catching content

🤍 Not sure what you actually need to do to grow online and have no idea about social strategy?

Then NOW is the time to outsource!

I can take away the burden of having to spend extra time, effort and brain power on social media and come up with a social strategy that is guaranteed to help you grow online so you can be thriving, stress free and more available to spend your time how YOU wish

👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻

Time is so precious to a business owner and money is obviously important to the success of the business, but are you using them to your advantage when it comes to social media?

Are you spending money on ads, apps and software? As well as using time that could be spent elsewhere to quickly bash out a post? A Social Media Manager can give you your valuable time and money back so you can focus on other areas of your business. 💰⏰

This results in you being able to focus your attention on areas of your business that need it the most, less stress and feelings of overwhelm and more opportunities for you business to grow! 🫶🏻

If you’re interested DM me and I’ll be more than happy to chat things through with you ☺️
