5 social media posts to reconnect with your followers

How many business pages do you follow on social media?

And out of all those pages, how well do you know the businesses? The people that run them, the services or products that they offer?

So how well do your social media followers know you and your business?

Do they know all the treatments you offer? The health products you sell? The workshops you run?

In January 2020 I decided to reacquaint my business with my followers. I also thought it would help other small business owners to do the same with their followers.

So I created a 5 day challenge #letstalkaboutmybusiness

I did the challenge in January as it’s traditionally a slow month and I wanted to get my business visible again. I’d been on maternity with my second child and made changes to my business so it was a good time to just let all my followers know what I was up to.

However, you can do this challenge whenever it suits you. You might be stuck for ideas for posts and use this as prompts. You could even do one a week over 5 weeks. Whatever works for you.

So, let’s get started.

How I plan my social media calendar for the whole year

I like to plan and be organised, ironically it allows me to be more creative because I’m not worried about the day to day stuff.

One of the biggest time consumers for me, and probably most of you, is social media. Scheduling can take time but coming up with ideas, keeping content interesting, engaging, urgh! Some days I just want to hide and not do anything!

But, over the last few years I’ve created myself a system (totally by accident) of planning my social media content.

10 reasons why your lovely business needs a website

This blog came about when one of my customers asked me whether there was any point keeping her website going. She didn’t seem to get much traffic to it so should she concentrate on social media instead?

Her business is very niche and very visual so she’ll probably get more from clients following her on Instagram or Facebook.

Even though most of her business will be through social media, there are very good reasons why it’s still worth keeping a website online. Whatever your business.

10 ideas you can use on your social media headers

Why should I like this social media business page?

Your social media header is one of the first things your potential customer notices when they are browsing your business page. The image has to be creative and inspire your customer. If your social media header isn’t unique and doesn’t grab their attention then they won’t want to delve deeper into your page.

But what can you put on your social media header that has impact and will connect with your potential customers?
