Today I want to share with you this hashtag funnel so you create your groups of hashtags in a strategic way. Swipe left on the post above to see more.👆
👉If you want to increase your Instagram post engagement, then you really need to use the right hashtags and understand hashtag groups. It's important to do hashtag research, but if you're not aware of what you want to achieve from using the hashtags, it'll be of little use.
The idea is to rotate them to compare results and see what works best.
Comment below if you know other types of hashtags!👇
______
Let's be very clear on this:
Nobody is in a race here!
And if that is your attitude towards social media... you will end up very tired. 🥵
The frequency in which you post must be the amount with WHICH YOU CAN COMMIT.
If you think you can only create one post, or three posts per week, because you have a lot to do, then commit to that frecuency.
If you can post daily, commit to that, test for a month and based on the response of your community, change or stick to that.

Why “DM for price” is killing your Online Business. ☠️
WHAT TO DO INSTEAD 👇
Here are ways you can display your price and still reap big.
1. Don't be insecure!
Share your price and own it. If you are charging a certain amount for something that you know is worth it then don't be afraid to say it. It helps build trust with your customers and shows that you are confident about the value of your product. Secret Tip: It also reduces the chances of bargaining.
2. Have a value centered CTA (Call To Action).
This means that instead of relying on price enquiries on price for comments, you get potential customers to comment around the value you are offering.
3. Have a price list on standby.
This works especially well for businesses that offer services or custom products. When customers ask for the price, redirect them to a price list which has a range. What this will do is not only show transparency but also expose your customers to more products that you offer and increase the likelihood of higher sales.
4. Stop competing on price.
Instead compete for value. Price alone should not be your main method of competing. Keep in mind that you aren’t just selling a product or a service. People will buy into you. Don't play the short game. Connect, engage and earn the trust of your customers for long-term success. The connections and experiences are what make clients come back.
5. Don't waste time.
Both the customers and yours. Put your price out there. If your customer is interested and can afford the product then they will reach out and enquire or buy it. You can build a connection from there.
I'm curious, what's your “DM for price” story? If you are an online business, what's your take? If you’ve experienced it, how did that go for you? Comment down below. I’d love to hear!
Selling just a product / service is no longer enough 🤚🏽❌
Do you know Neuromarketing? 🤓
👉🏽 Neuromarketing consists of the application of techniques belonging to the neuroscience and psychology, in the field of marketing that analyses the levels of emotion, attention and memory evoked by stimuli in the context of marketing or advertising, such as advertisements, products or experiences.
Eg
👇🏽
Coca-Cola 👉🏽 is focused on one emotion: happiness.
✨ This is just an example, of a big brand that don't sell a product, but sensations, experiences and emotions.
So your product / service is not important? 🤚🏽 OF COURSE IT IS! Everything you communicate should reflect the quality of your product / service, but do not focus on talking about it, but on identifying what stimuli can evoke your product or service and sell it through these emotions / sensations / experiences! ✨
Now let me ask you as a consumer! Do you buy products / services? or emotions / sensations / experiences? 😯👇🏽

👀 BEWARE OF THE SALES PROMOTIONS.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In this post I explain you what to take into account when planning your promotions. Improving the profits of your business is always going to be the dreamed goal but without a doubt it is not the easiest to achieve.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The thing about promotions is that:
👇 The sale price goes down.
👉 The cost its maintained.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So what? You have to increase your sales volume a lot so that your profits increase.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What can you do?
Here I have droped some promotion goals in the carousel for you🤩. But you can actually define any goal you want to achieve.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Important
🔸 If you sell products: be careful with the stock, the delivery days and the logistics.
🔸 If you sell services: beware of the increase in working hours that you can assume.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Nobody likes to wait right?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My last recommendation: make it easy. Simplify the shopping experience for your customers because otherwise they will look for other options.

Be the person who flip the picture. Be the person who doesn’t apologize for flipping the photo. Be the person who’s not sorry.
Don't be sorry for posting an image in fear of having to apologize because it was a little out of the ordinary- because it didn’t fit in.
Stop thinking about other people’s opinions because you don’t owe anyone an explanation as to what you are saying or what you are doing instead.
You don’t owe anyone an explanation for choosing to not apologize for the choices you make for YOUR life.
Here’s the catch- you don’t owe anyone an apology either! You have this wonderful, magical power to say 'my story my way'! You just have to access that power within you and decide to use it.
That’s on you.
Choosing to tell your story, choosing to not apologize- that’s on you.
Peps - if the thing isn’t serving you, do it your way. Put it down, flip it, and reverse it into something worth your time! Just be authentic and tell your unique story, that's it. 🙌
We're on fire! 🔥 Literally and figuratively, because despite the warm weather, we are super productive today.

Could it be that we have just been on holidays? ⠀ ⠀

This is a revealing concept 👁 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you ever asked yourself this question? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This was one of the keys 🔑 we learned in one of the many Social Media Content courses we have attended.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, we open our Instagram account; we are super excited because we have 50; 100; 200 ... 300 followers and suddenly ... silence ... Stop. Did that happen to you? It happened to all of us 🤷🏻♀️ because once your friends, your mom, your cousin and your neighbor follow you... it's time to ask the magic question: 🤔 why will someone who does NOT know me follow me? ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is where the key concept that comes into play is: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🔥 VALUBLE content 🔥⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Only those people who find valuable information from us will read, follow and like us: as simple as that 🌈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So!!! Get to work to think about how to design and plan your content marketing: including ✔️tips, ✔️ sharing tools, ✔️ turorials and everything that can be VALUABLE for your community. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you liked the advice 🙏🏻 comment below! Your opinion is very helpful for us to continue working ✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And don't forget to ask yourself this question very often!!!
_______
Your business, your partner, your economy, your friends, your clothes and everything is the result of how much you have worked on yourself. If you don't like your results, it's because you haven't worked enough on yourself. It's that simple!
⠀
Working on yourself is not easy ... it is challenging, revealing and intimidating, but when you do it, changes happen.
⭐️ What does your beliefs say about you?
⭐️ What does your economy say about you?
🌟 What does your lifestyle say about you?
DO YOU LIKE WHAT IT SAYS?
If you don't like it, it's time to design a NEW STORY.
Discover your purpose, raise your standards, design an action plan and create a new story. 🔥 A STORY AND BUSINESS THAT REALLY REFLECTS WHO YOU ARE
Would you like to find the business you are meant to create?
What are you doing about it? We read you in the comments! 👇

Breathtaking pic from 'Paso de Los Libertadores', a mountain pass in the Andes between Argentina and Chile.
... that's the question. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We see business profiles focused solely on generating more followers, commercializing and gaining more visibility than their competitors, getting on the 'trend' even at the cost of going against their own essence, thinking that this will make them grow.
⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We wonder what would happen if instead of focusing on "growth" we focus on "transcending." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For us, to transcend is to evolve as a brand, to learn from the steps taken and to become stronger, to know how to overcome obstacles and create a healthy brand in harmony with your initial values. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These brands focus on doing delicate and loving work, taking care of their clients and making them live unique experiences. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Those businesses that understand this are the ones that become unforgettable. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That is why we want to invite you in 2020 to take firmer steps by projecting in the long term and creating strategies focused on your customers. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Write down how you could make your brand closer to your audience and create experiences aligned with its essence. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Get back to your beginnings, to those values that made you undertake and write them down. Sometimes getting back to the roots is the best way to find us again. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
May your goal always be to transcend, to be a memorable brand.
Almost everyone with their own business knows 'what' he / she does. A large part of them also know 'how' they do it. But very few entrepreneurs (organizations and businesses) know 'why' they do it. With why is meant: why do you get out of bed every morning? What do you believe in and what is your passion? Why do you do what you do?
⠀
To give you an example, this is our 'why': We believe in the passion of entrepreneurs and that a good marketing plan and a clear purpose can play an important role in the visibility and growth of companies, small businesses and startups.
⠀
Now you! Share your 'why' below ⭐️

To have a successful marketing strategy you must dedicate time to the "buyer persona". ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A buyer persona is your ideal customer, the customer who would buy your products.
Buyer personas give you a deeper insight into who your target audience is, what they want/need and how you can deliver a solution.
How to Create Effective Buyer Personas?
When creating a buyer persona, you should be as detailed as possible. The more specific you are, the easier it will be to create a deep insights into your target audience and determine how best to communicate with them.
Here are two components to make sure you include for the best results:
1.Background. Age, gender, income (this point is key!, education, job title, career, location, and other key demographic information are all important details to add to your buyer profiles.
2.Online behavior. How long do users stay on web pages? Where do they click? What do they want, what don't?
Also include a “day in the life” section where you provide a first-person point of view (POV) account of your buyer persona.
Reaching one consumer who you’re sure will identify with your product is more powerful than reaching a multitude who will look past your marketing efforts without even thinking twice.
Do you know your buyer persona?

How much does it cost to help a local entrepreneur? $ 0!
3 Ways to Support local business:
1. Share the business’s page on social media
Like it, support it, invite others to visit it. Whether it’s Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or LinkedIn, social media is the most affordable and effective tool a local business owner has available to market their business to millions of users online who may not have known the business even exists.
Interacting with local business on social media also helps the business owner know who their customers are and how to better serve them and attract more. Share images of a meal you have at your local coffee shop and tag the business’s social media page so others can find it and learn more or even visit the shop.
2. Word of mouth referrals
Take the time to share your experience with friends, family, acquaintances and to your social media platforms. People are more likely to trust a recommendation from an actual customer than the business itself.
According to a Nielsen study 92% of millennials aren’t buying into adverts anymore, making word of mouth marketing (WOMM) so crucial for small business growth. This is especially true in the SME sector where big advertising budgets aren’t available to compete with big companies’ campaigns.
3. Buy local
Supporting small businesses is the best way to indirectly play your part in economic development.
Small and medium businesses provide a huge percentage of all jobs, so essentially, the more support local entrepreneurs receive from local consumers, the stronger the economy.
Let's work together as a community 💙

💵 | We have a good product, we deliver a great service, but there is something that always slows us down: how much should I charge?
👉🏼 | Whether you are marketing a new product, selling items on Trademe or negotiating a deal with a customer, pricing is not an easy task.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🧠 | That's why I want to share with you these psychological tricks for pricing, this is a marketing strategy based on the theory that certain prices have a greater psychological impact on consumers than others.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅ 1. Prices ending in, 99 make the client ROUND NUMBERS DOWN: We experience this every day without realizing it.
When we see $ 2.99 we think of $ 2.00
✅ 2. Prices with "Round" numbers generate the feeling of EASIER AND FLUID PURCHASE: according to an experiment conducted by the University of Chicago and MIT, precise numbers trigger an association with small values and easier to acquire
✅ 3. Prices ending in random numbers seem to be CHEAPER: Consumers need to use more mental resources to process non-rounded prices. So those prices seem more suitable for rational purchases.

Volunteering for has been such a gift in my life and I encourage everyone to learn more about hospice volunteering.
I am beyond thankful for being invited to the Greek Extravaganza fundraiser for Hibiscus Hospice, by Club.
We had such an amazing night last night getting into the 1930s groove!
Such spectacular entertainment, conversations and new friendships made. 🖤
Well done Rotary Satellite Club of Orewa-Millwater team for making this happen. 👏👏👏
Some time ago I set out to dedicate moments for creativity and searching for inspiration ✨.
I realized that the routine exhausts me, turns off my creativityt and I feel like in "zombie" mode wandering this digital world.
These days I decided to give myself space and go for a walk and get inspired. In this way I found my self walking through the beautiful Gulf Harbour Marina with a pleasant breeze that invited me to create. Lot's of drawings today! Everything was given for creativity to flow.
That's why I want to invite you to do two things:
1) Seek for inspiration by doing what you love.
2) I encourage you to show a little who is behind the business to connect with your audience and with yourself too. 💫💕
Some Sunday reflections! 💕
