5 more tips to help you standout

You might remember, in our last article, we introduced the concept of creating a successful social media campaign. We are facing a time when organic reach on social media continues to drop more and more, where the ability to rank is becoming even more difficult because we are competing against more ad space. In addition, there are more and more companies out there.

Here are 5 MORE tips to help you stand out among the noise:

1. Woo Influencers
Did you know that almost 50% of buyers seek influencer reviews when looking out for a product to buy? That’s how big the influencers’ recommendations are. Why? Well, probably because they trust these influencers. These people have already established their credibility thus their recommendations matter to most users.

2. Grow Your Audience
The more eyes that see your message, the more results you enjoy. The social media manager needs to work on increasing followers across all the social media channels deemed relevant for the product or service.

3. Engage Your Audience
For social media marketing to be successful, companies need to find ways to increase engagement in the followers they have and the ones they want. Some ways to do this: respond, tag, link, use hashtags.

4. Measure Your Results
Look at the likes/shares/comments on your page. Measure the amount of engagement the audience has with the posts. It’s favorable if you are receiving retweets, shares, comments, and likes. Take note of which type of content gets the biggest responses and be sure to use those type of posts frequently.

5. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
Successful social media marketing poses a variety of challenges to businesses, and it’s easy to take the wrong turn and end up with less than thrilling results. It’s also common to start out excited and get burned out resulting in a loss of commitment in the middle of your efforts.

Stay with it! Stay focused and your company will be stunned at the amount of followers you will gain, the website traffic you will boost, and the new leads you will enjoy.

When people think back on a wedding, they usually remember the big moments, the ceremony, the first dance, and the reception. But it's often the thoughtful details that make a big day feel even more special for both the couple and the people celebrating with them. This July, we had the chance to be part of another Macksood family wedding as Connor and Gabrielle tied the knot. After helping with Hannah and Reed's wedding, it was so much fun to work with the family again and create another collection of custom pieces for such a memorable day. From custom signage to personalized drinkware, every item added a little something to the celebration. A Wedding Full of Personal Touches Connor and Gabrielle wanted every part of their wedding to reflect their personalities, their style, and the story they wanted to tell. That's exactly what custom products can do. For their big day, we created custom pens, cups, napkins, a felt letter board sign, photo coasters featuring the couple, and an acrylic sign. We also created custom shirts and socks that added another fun, personalized element to the wedding festivities.

Opening a new business takes a lot of planning, and your brand is one of the most important pieces. Before customers ever walk through your doors, they're already forming an impression through your logo, website, signage, and marketing materials. That's exactly what we've had the opportunity to help create with Fenton Pilates Studio as they prepare to open in downtown Fenton. Our goal has been to create a brand that's just as welcoming and intentional as the experience they'll soon offer inside the studio. Building the Foundation Every great brand starts with a strong identity, and for Fenton Pilates Studio, that journey began with a logo. We created a clean, modern logo inspired by the studio's beautiful front window overlooking Leroy Street. It's a subtle detail that gives the brand a unique connection to its home in downtown Fenton while creating a timeless look that can grow alongside the business. From there, we designed and developed a custom website that introduces future clients to the studio and makes it easy to learn about classes, instructors, and the welcoming environment they're creating. We also coordinated a professional video shoot to capture the studio before opening day. While it's easy to think of photography and video as something you do after launching, creating content ahead of time helps build anticipation, gives people a reason to follow along, and provides a library of authentic visuals for the website, social media, and future marketing efforts.
