It is no secret times are hard, so here are some easy ways you can help small businesses on social media: –

  1. Give them a follow/like.  A very easy one but important.
  2. Share their content.  If you see something you think your friends might be interested in, share the love!
  3. If you’ve bought a product or used a service, why not tell people? Leaving a review takes very little time but means the world!
  4. If you see something that interests you on their timeline, comment on the post and tell them so!
  5. Check in to their premises.  People will remember where you’ve been!
  6. If you’re a member of a local group on social media, people often ask for recommendations; word of mouth is still so important, we just deliver it a slightly different way!

Give it a try and spread the love; who will you help out today?

As the saying goes “a change is as good as a rest“, and right now everyone is living through a lot of changes!

ChangeWith the national (and international) situation so fluid, you need to remember to communicate any changes that affect your business as quickly as you can, and to reach as many people as you can.

Use your social media channels to share messages on opening times, limits on numbers of customers permitted in your premises, how to book your services (you can even use Facebook’s own tool for this!). 

It is so hard to deliver excellent customer service when you’re dealing with changes to what you can and can’t do.  You can however have excellent communication skills and let your customers know what you’re doing and how you’re doing it!

It is no secret that this year has been amongst other things challenging, depressing at times.  If you have certain products, experiences that fit within guidelines etc don’t be afraid to start advertising them early.

We get the feeling we’re all going to need something to look forward to so if you can spread a little cheer – even if it is September, give it a whirl!  If it suits you, and of course if it gives your business a much needed boost, start your festive season now!

Tips on Tuesday

Have you thought about helping your followers get to know you better?

Behind the scenes“Behind the scenes” footage, whether in the form of images or video can be a really valuable type of content for your social media feeds.  Why not share where the magic happens; the stockroom, the factory floor, even your own desk!

Whilst you must be careful not to share anything sensitive or confidential, sharing where and how you work can be a really valuable way of your followers getting to know what is behind the business!

Tips on Tuesday

Have you got a new product or service about to launch?

Sneak peek

Why not consider the power of a teaser trailer?  Create a short campaign of images and even a video to create interest. 

A sneak peek is great for creating interest in what you’re doing, and making your followers feel like they’re part of an exclusive club, after all they’re seeing your product first!
