JANUARY RECAP ~ the 1st month of the new year is already over! ~ How did 2024 start for you and do you always look back too?

Personally I like to reflect briefly, although I haven't shared this here the past few months due to busy weeks & travels....

For me the month of January started quietly and blew up after the 10th at the Vakantiebeurs, the start sign for the travel industry.
But after a few lesser years due to C.. it’s heartwarming to see that travel seems more popular than ever.
For example, in January;

- I celebrated my birthday on the beautiful island of Madeira! 🇵🇹

- I was here on behalf of Visit Madeira and Interface Tourism Netherlands which resulted in a lot of great content, SWIPE to get a sneak peek🥰

- again I had the honor to be 1 of the speakers at the online Prepdays event via FunnelGuru - academie voor salesfunnel marketing 💪

- I made interesting new contacts at the Vakantiebeurs for great future collaborations✨

- Corendon has decided to extend my travel ambassadorship again for this year🙏

- we have welcomed 7 new reporters for NatureScanner with 6 press trips already for the month of January and several more in the planning for the coming months🍃

- and next week I get to go to Singapore for VisitSingapore and AVIAREPS, with also 6 other great trips already scheduled for 2024🧳

I’m very happy and grateful to conclude that I am already looking forward to a super 2024, hopefully you too?

2023 RECAP, I always like to look back before moving forward again, do you do that too, or is it just GO, GO, GO!?

And what a year it was, full of setbacks, surprises and victories! Despite adversities, like being incapacited for 2 months and missing out on 2 trips due to a broken shoulder after a ski accident in April, I'm happy to see that in retrospect in 2023;

• I fully recovered due to the help of a specialized physichal therapist,

• was still able to do 11 unique trips for work,

• + 12 projects through my company, incl. custom content creation and promotion through my own channels for different clients and destinations.

• Have been active on a steady basis as marketing & PR manager for the nicest client of NL: NatureScanner.

• have had the honor to be the (premium) travel ambassador for Corendon.

• Been able to maintain a good work-life balance, while working mostly with fun clients and colleagues.

• Stepped up my marketing game with a specialized Meta ads course,

• and have been able to upgrade my drone skills, flying it in 10 different countries.

Some of my biggest prides and joys this past year, despite setbacks💪
Now on to an even better 2024, where my goals will mostly be the same....What are yours and how do you look back on 2023?

Happy NEW YEAR everyone! Make it a good one and thnx again to all my wonderful partners that made 2023 awesome, let's rock 2024🍾😘💪

It has been Black Friday for almost 2 weeks now...who else is sick of all those emails and ads with offers and discounts already?🤑🤯

Love it or hate it, if you really need something, or fancy a getaway or vacation then this is THE chance to save on your booking..provided that you're also flexible and alert of course😉

The fact is that in many countries, such as the Netherlands, daily life is becoming more and more expensive and, as a result, (luxury) travel is accessible to fewer and fewer people.

An interesting study by Bookingcom, among 27,000 respondents from 33 countries, shows that for many people travel remains important and therefore the search for affordable luxury is increasing.

As an avid (affordable) luxury traveler, I had to write a blog about this, incl. this research with all travel predictions of 2024.
And more than 20 tips & hacks for affordable luxury travel, to save costs on your booking in advance and on location;
https://www.authenticchiclifestyle.com/single-post/affordable-luxury-tips-budgeting-hacks-travel

I'm very curious what your best travel budget hack is (besides just not traveling😝) & if you've fallen for any Black Friday deals yet!

(BUDGET) TRAVEL TIP OF THE WEEK: Oberösterreich stole my heart with its unique combination of nature reserves, mountains and quaint towns like Bad Ischl, Bad Goisern and Gmunden still quite undiscovered by the masses.

This, and the fact that most restaurants and entrance fees are also quite affordable makes this region worth uncovering!

Beautiful in autumn and of course as a winter destination, but also highly recommended for next spring!
You can get there conveniently by (night) train or car and explore much of the region in just a few days, like I did with my colleague Cindy of NatureScanner!

Still remeniscing about where I was last week around this time Therme Bucuresti 🥰 But can you actually promote a wellness center in a stylish way, without too much nudity?!🌴🎥 Because hey, I'm not 25 anymore and that bikini body is also long gone🙊 It was very cool to be able to create content this way, but also always a challenge! Especially to beautifully capture this 37,000 m2 tropical complex, full of people, with less than 1 hour to film before opening🙃 Fortunately, we were able to experience this great thermal spa in Bucharest for 2 days of wonderful relaxation ourselves afterwards...(perks of the job🤪) What do you think of the result..did we succeed? #contentcreation #travel #wellness #travel #bucharest #contentcreator Music: You Were Mine, Musician: Carl Storm

Droning in de Bollenstreek NL

SOME DUTCH GLORY TO INSPIRE YOUR WEEK!🇳🇱 The tulips are a bit late this season and still need at least 1 more week to fully start blooming🌷🌷🌷I however thought they look really nice already, especially from above and love the hyacinths too, which are in full bloom now and smell so good!

Review La Paulowna

Do you know the Dutch ad ‘We from WC-eend advise WC-eend’?😜Well I’d rather let my clients do the advising, and couldn’t be more proud of reviews like this🥰 As I’m not allowed to travel abroad and most of my life atm consist of consultancy and coaching for lovely Dutch clients & local businesses, like Anuschka Huschka, I just had to share it with you here too! This one is in Dutch, hope you don’t mind, but more English ones coming up here and in my IG stories too! Do let me know if you want to see more reviews🙏 🇳🇱 Ik ben oprecht dankbaar en blij dat ik gepassioneerde ondernemers zoals Anuschka kan helpen, die het met hun prachtige La Paulowna Boutique Hotel in Den Haag al een jaar enorm zwaar hebben! Juist nu is social media voor hun marketing en online zichtbaarheid des te belangrijker geworden! Samen hebben we via IG en FB de lage bezettingen doordeweeks kunnen compenseren en beperken, door veel positieve intiatieven op te zetten, gratis promotie te genereren, consistent goede content te delen en wat ads in te zetten met een laag budget, waardoor de weekenden nog regelmatig vol zitten. Zo fijn dat ik al zo veel zzpers, mkb-ers, merken en bedrijven heb kunnen helpen in deze tijd en dat ik mijn tijd op deze manier nuttig en positief kan besteden. En natuurlijk is een review als deze dan de kroon op mijn werk en wat het extra leuk maakt! Zie het volledige review in deze video voor meer info over mijn werkwijze en laat me zeker weten of ik ook jou hierbij kan helpen. Voel je vrij me een PM te sturen en we kunnen ook altijd even bellen voor vrijblijvend advies op maat, happy to help🙏 #socialselling #review #video #consultancy #happycustomer 🇳🇱

Drone shoot Scheveningen

Video content; love or hate it? But did you know that 82% of the market will be video focused by 2022 (research shows) and that 94% of marketers say video generated more ROI because it makes customers understand their produc faster? Unfortunately, the LinkedIn algorithm does not yet prefer videos in terms of reach, but this certainly is the case on Google, Instagram and FB. And it’s not without reason that Tiktok is the fastest growing social media platform of the moment. I love video content for all these reasons, find drone videos, like this one made close to home, in collaboration with Ngoc Chau, so beautiful and easy to create! And in addition, video is much more effective to connect with your target audience, even without words! What do you think about this and do you apply video content for your company and / or personal branding already? #personalbranding #videomarketing #video #denhaag #contentmarketing #netherlands P.S .: For Social Media video tips & tricks see the link to my latest blog in the comments🎥

MY FIRST EVER COMPANY VIDEO FOR Authentic_Chic_Trvl_Lifestyle PAPARAZZI AT WORK WITH SOLLVISION PUSHING ME WAY OUT OF MY COMFORTZONE WITH MY FIRST EVER VOICE-OVER EXPERIMENT (Sound on 🔉 if you want to hear me speak Dutch)🙈😜 But hey; 'If it doesn't challenge you it doesn't change you, righ't?!👍 So happy to have met Thomas Slotboom, the perfect coach for video marketing, personal branding & social (not) selling! He made this great #BTS video during a coaching session with Alta Martes & Mariola Czapla for Alta-Ict and I love how natural this company video has turned out! Lately I've been much less active here as I've been busy with my Dutch social media consultancy & coaching business, several new clients & leveraging the influence of Linkedin for my business, highly effective for B2B & social selling! Are you active on Linkedin as well? If so come find me there; Naomi Louwerens, happy weekend!👍💃 #socialmediaconsultant #coach #ladyboss #videomarketing #freelance #zzp

INSPO OF THE WEEK; “If it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn’t change you.” That's why I keep challenging myself to improve, renew my work & think out of the box! I love to inspire & be inspired by working with great photographers like @nappyc to create magical & artistic posts like this, because that's what content creation is all about to me & why it's my passion! This post again proves that this can even be done in your 'backyard', as this spot is just 10 minutes from my home in the Netherlands. It does need some preparation, a model with endurance, a good photographer with vision & obviously some editing magic✨ as you can see in this behind the scenes video😜 Do watch till the end and let me know if you think it was worth it?! 🥶📸 #editingmagic #beforeafter #holland #scheveningen #netherlands
