Hey Reader!
​
Are you feeling the pressure of impending summer like I am?

These are the days we all try to cram in all sorts of things we put off during winter and know we won't have time to do in the summer.

So when time is short and you need to move the needle, where do you start?

Well, that depends πŸ˜‰ Don't worry - I won't leave you hanging with that anticlimactic answer.

Read on!

Quick and easy ways to move your marketing forward this week

Start Here

Indecision. Confusion. Burnout.

If you've been trying to do a little bit of everything, but feel like you aren't really mastering any of it, stop!

Trust me. Marketing is a whole lot easier AND a whole lot more effective if you tackle it step by step. Check each one off as you go - and don't move on until you have the previous step 100% nailed down.

And here's a shocker - advertising is absolutely LAST on my list. Because ads won't work if you don't have the rest of the foundation in place.

If you aren't sure where to start, use my steps to figure out where you are. Then start moving up the steps!

​

πŸ“Œ Step 1: Get clear on your Why, You, Who.

πŸ“Œ Step 2: Define your Visuals, Voice, and Vibe.

πŸ“Œ Step 3: Claim your Google Business Profile (so customers can find you).

πŸ“Œ Step 4: Set up a simple website (even if it’s just one page).

πŸ“Œ Step 5: Pick ONE social media platform and post something.

πŸ“Œ Step 6: Start collecting emails (even if it’s just in a notebook).

πŸ“Œ Step 7: Once those are in place, then consider ads.​

This week...

We are after speed

We are hard at work on some new services that will (hopefully) make things like building a brand or designing a website much, much faster.

Sometimes you just need to get it done and you don't have a ton of time to dedicate to it!

I would love your input on what to roll out first!

Wishing you lots of sunshine as we head into May.

I'm off to go stare at my little crocus that finally popped πŸ’›

Well, it’s officially here. School’s out. My husband and kids are officially on break. But guess who’s still working? Oh yeah, that’d be this girl. It’s not that I begrudge them their summer break (but kinda). It’s just... I love summer. Like really love summer. Josephine Lake - one of my favorites! And trying to crank out work while the people around me are off mountain biking, swimming at the beach, hiking, grabbing ice cream, or (perhaps the worst) laying around watching a mid-day movie?...

Not sure if you feel the same, but I am really trying to embrace the KISS principle this summer when it comes to my own marketing, especially when it comes to social media. I want to make sure promote my business, but I definitely don't want it to be a time suck...I want...
