A Milk and Honey client won Herald & Review’s Reader Choice! 3 TIMES! Congratulations Ashley Blust with Magickal Candles & Goodies!

✨ AHHHHH!!! HERALD AND REVIEW READERS CHOICE AWARDS ✨

Can you believe Magickal Candles and Goodies placed not once, not twice but THREE times?!?!?!

2nd place for Best Gift Shop
2nd place for Best Hobby Store
& 3rd place for Best Jewelry Store!!

HOLY FRIGGIN COW. 🐮
What. A. Honor.
When I found out I was totally speechless, shaky, and did a little happy dance, followed by a moment of happy tears.

Receiving this award as a business owner who has only been around for 3 YEARS, this is just such a huge accomplishment to hit… and I couldn’t have done it without the tremendous outpour of love and support that I receive on a daily basis from my Magickal family.

I want to THANK each and every one of you, for every like, share, interaction, purchase and invite to the group.

I cannot express enough how grateful I am to each and everyone of my members for the continuous support, because without ALL OF YOU, Magickal would not be here celebrating this achievement today!

All the love and appreciation from Magickal Candles & Goodies ❤️

When trying to get the biggest bang for your buck with marketing and advertising, know who your target audience is then get to know them. What do they do, where do they go, what media do they consume, what other businesses do they frequent? This will set you in a great direction on where to start!

"Jack of all trades. Master of none."

Did you know the FULL expression is "Jack of all trades. Master of none. But oftentimes better than a master of one".

I JUST learned this! It would almost hurt to be called a "jack of all trades" knowing those three little words following. What a FARCE! You can be amazing at many things and that in itself is a talent!

Whatever you do, don't box yourself in. Branch out, expand, learn, GROW!

Tell me all your ideas! I want to hear about what you've been sitting on for awhile but are just not sure about, the ideas that seem too big for the community you live in, the product you want to offer but have no idea where to begin.

If you are a business owner, you are already a "jack of all trades".
Embrace that you are MULTIFACETED and utilize those big ideas!

S U R P R I S E

I had several people, ask, not really sure if I was the person behind Milk and Honey, but you guessed right!

I just wanted to share a little about myself for the people I don't know. My name is Amanda Cloe and I have been a cosmetologist for the last 11 years. When I first began my career as a stylist, social media was a little more fresh and the marketing game was completely different. I really wanted to push my social media page to support my business, and that is what I did. In the pursuit to really use social platforms as business boosters, I learned so much and fell in love with marketing and small business. Through the years I have helped other businesses unofficially with marketing, social media, events, branding, ect. and really enjoyed that! Being "officially" helping other small businesses has really been energizing and I am loving every minute. I completely understand the emotions, time, and finances behind the day to day. I become involved with businesses that I connect with and feel that I can truly help so it is always worth it for the small business.

Who are your favorite local advertising representatives?

I would love to add to my advertising arsenal for the Milk and Honey clients! Having current pricing, offers, and contacts for my clients would be amazing so I can send them in the right direction for their specific needs!

One of my client’s’ current analytics! 🙌🏼

Whatever your niche is, I’m making you the person for it and everyone is going to know!

While this is such a boost to see, coming up with the ideas of how to elevate what you are already doing and getting that exposure is my favorite thing. Brainstorming is happening, always, over at Milk and Honey Social Media.

Happy F R I D A Y!

However, business owners understand when I say “tomorrow’s a normal day.” There isn’t a 8-5,
M-F schedule for you. 5:00 am, 10:00 pm, Sunday night, it can be an around the clock job!

If social media feels like another task that is taking up too much space in your schedule, I may be able to help!
