Happy Easter! 💐 “The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.”” -Matthew‬ ‭28:5-7‬

And just like that the Foster A Life HOME RUN is over! I had so much fun taking pictures of the runners and the different foster care agencies that set up booths for event. I’m so grateful I got to work with such a caring and considerate organization like Foster*A*Life! 💙

What has my day consisted of? Looking up articles about the elderly and sifting through "firefighter" puns. It's always interesting around here 😅

Such a great story and a fantastic example of the creative process! One thing I’ve had to learn is how to walk away from a project when it’s getting the best of me. Sometimes taking a walk or simply switching tasks can allow new ideas to find you 💙

Doing something new this morning 😋🌯

It's time for a truth bomb: Facebook doesn't like your business page.

For the majority of my clients, this is their major complaint about Facebook. The Facebook algorithm is designed to favor FB profiles over FB pages, and it's unfortunate because so many of these businesses have customers who WANT to see content from them. But how do you fix that?

It starts by understanding the difference between a Facebook profile and a page. A Facebook profile is a personal user account for an individual. This is my "Samantha" account. "Samantha" can add friends, list where she went to school, and even add her birthday to receive birthday wishes. Anyone with a personal email address can create a Facebook profile, but a page can only be created by someone with a Facebook profile (which makes that FB profile a necessity). A FB page can be a great tool for small businesses because it can educate consumers about your services, your operating hours, and current offers. Multiple FB profiles can be linked to a page, which means there are multiple people ready to respond to customer messages.

If you want to learn new and efficient ways to help your page reach new or even existing followers, send me a message on this page or to [email protected]

❓❓Which house is better?❓❓

It may seem like a silly question, but one of these stock images is better for Standout Marketing & Designs. How do I know? Because I want to use stock images that represent my business and the community I live in.

Stock images have become a necessary part of any marketing campaign, and most businesses have a subscription to one service or another. It is, however, vital to pick images that reflect the location of your business (no pictures of mountains to represent Lubbock, TX) and appear natural (when is the last time you held a meeting where everyone laughed and wore complementary colors?).

Let us help with those details and create marketing campaigns that don't insult the intelligence of your clients. Reach out today!

We are all familiar with three reigning social media champions: Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Other platforms are also popular, but these three are tried and true.

Something I've learned along the way from various training/webinars is to "go where your followers are." If your page has a lot of engagement but your Instagram doesn't? Drop Instagram! The people you are trying to reach aren't there.

Standout wants to help you find "your people" and engage with them in the most meaningful and productive way. Shoot us a message and let's see how we can help 💛
