8 Social Media Remedies for Small Businesses Using ChatGPT

30/5/2025

0 Comments

 
ChatGPT can be a useful tool for small businesses – content creation for social media can be time consuming but ChatGPT can take some of the strain and save you valuable time. Be careful though, AI can hallucinate so you need to double check sources and information before you post to your channels – the last thing you want to do is misinform your customers and damage your reputation.

No Vague Symptoms Here!
When consulting ChatGPT, provide clear details about your business and the desired outcome. Instead of saying, “Write a post,” try, “Create a Facebook post introducing our new eco-friendly cleaning service to attract environmentally conscious homeowners.” This precision ensures ChatGPT prescribes the right content.
​

Set the Bedside Manner
Inform ChatGPT about your brand’s personality. Are you aiming for a friendly vibe or a professional consultancy tone? For example: “Write in a warm, approachable tone suitable for a family-owned bakery.” This helps ChatGPT tailor the message appropriately.

Avoid Information Overload
If you have multiple announcements, such as a new product launch, a sale, and a behind-the-scenes story, tackle them separately. Ask ChatGPT to create individual posts for each topic to maintain clarity and focus.

Get a Second Opinion
If you’re uncertain about how to present your message, request examples. For instance: “Can you provide three Instagram post examples for a boutique introducing a summer clothing line?” This gives you options to choose from or inspire your own ideas.

Don’t Omit the Vital Signs
Ensure essential key information is present: what you’re offering, who it’s for, how to purchase, and where you’re located. Prompt ChatGPT: “Include our store hours and a call-to-action at the end.” This guarantees your audience has all the necessary information.

Tailor the Treatment
Different social media platforms have unique styles. Instruct ChatGPT accordingly: “Write a concise, engaging tweet,” or “Create a friendly Facebook update with emojis.” This ensures the content fits the platform’s norms and audience expectations.

Explore Alternative Treatments
Unsure which style resonates best with your audience? Ask ChatGPT for multiple versions of the same post. This allows you to test different approaches and determine which one garners the best response.

Add the Personal Touch
Before publishing, review the content to ensure it aligns with your brand’s voice and message. Include personal anecdotes or unique touches that reflect your business’s personality. This authenticity helps build a stronger connection with your audience. Take a look at this article by Tech Radar for a fantastic guide on how to get ChatGPT to match your style and tone.

Give it a try and see how ChatGPT can help you create great content for your socials!

Customer Avatar - Why You Need One!

28/10/2024

0 Comments

 
If you want your marketing campaigns to be successful you need to understand your ideal customer. Knowing who your ideal customer is and what they want and need will help you concentrate your marketing where it is needed but it requires a bit of research and patience. If you don’t do the hard work to find your customer avatar you will just keep targeting everyone in the hope to get a hit - which is costly and inefficient.
Customer Avatar
What is a Customer Avatar?
If you haven’t already guessed, a customer avatar is your ideal customer - not your average customer - but the perfect customer who will want to purchase from you again and again.

Once you have discovered your customer avatar you can build a strong marketing strategy and improve your user experience.

Why you need a Customer Avatar
  • Tailor your marketing - email marketing will be so much easier once you know ‘who’ you are writing to. No more generic, soulless chit chat - you will be able to adjust your tone and voice to engage with your customer and create campaigns that they can’t resist!
  • Improve user experience - Whether that means a slick app for shopping at your store or choosing different social media platforms.
  • Product development - Once you know what makes your Custom Avatar tick, you can develop products and services that they need.
  • Write relevant content - Coming up with interesting content is always a challenge if you are blindly targeting the masses but once you’ve established your target customer you should be able to come up with plenty of insightful, helpful and engaging content.
  • Paid Advertisements - Your customer avatar will help you decide where you should run paid adverts. You will also know which demographics you need to be targeting which will tell you what wording you need in order to get the best return of investment.

How to Create Your Customer Avatar

Do your research - If you are an established business then you have a great starting point as you can ask your customers for feedback:
  • Set up polls
  • Send out surveys or questionnaires
  • Interviews
  • Analyse data from third party analytics

Build Your Customer Avatar - Give your fictional customer a name and try to get a picture of them in your mind. Think about their demographics ie age, gender, income etc.
  • Try to envision where they get their information - Online search? Word of mouth? Instore? Books?
  • What are their goals? What are they trying to achieve?
  • What are their values?
  • What are their pain points?
  • What challenges are they trying to overcome?
  • Why do they buy from you?
  • What might stop them from making a purchase?

It’s likely your business will have more than one ideal customer, depending on the services and products you offer. If this is the case you will need to repeat the steps and create an avatar for each one.

Short Term Pain for Long Term Gain!
If you are willing to put in the hard work now and create your customer avatar(s) you will have much higher success with your marketing and sales. You will be able to focus your marketing spend to the right areas, improve engagement and build a strong, loyal customer base.

The Benefits of Great Content Creation

22/5/2023

2 Comments

 
If you want your business to thrive and grow you need to invest time and money into great marketing and an integral part of your marketing is content creation.
​
Generating ideas and producing quality content can be time consuming and it can be difficult to know what and when to post. Social media presence is vital for your business to thrive but your posts need to be engaging and relevant if you want to see results.
The Benefits of Great Content Creation
What is Content Creation?
When we talk about content creation we are specifically discussing written or visual content (images or video) based on topics that would appeal to your target audience. This content could be in the form of a blog, email marketing, social media posts, websites and landing pages.

All content needs to be relevant and interesting - your aim is to build engagement and provide information to your followers/audience.

Social Media
Creating content for social media requires a bit of thought - each platform has its own rules, e.g. Twitter has a character limit if you have the free account and to get the most out of Instagram you need to make sure your images are at the correct size/aspect ratio.
​

Websites & Landing Pages
Landing pages are a great tool to have in your digital marketing strategy - the main purpose of a landing page is to convert visitors into leads or leads into customers.

Unlike a standard website page, a landing page is a stand alone page without all the distractions of links and navigation, its sole aim is to collect contact information from your visitor in exchange for something such as an offer, ebook etc.

Content for landing pages needs to be compact, concise and have the all important call to action!

Email Marketing
Newsletters and email marketing are a great way to engage with your customers, let them know about what’s happening in your business and share personalised offers.

Why you Need a Content Creator?
If you struggle to come up with amazing content for your social media channels, blogs or email newsletters then take heart- you are not alone. Running a business is hard enough without trying to keep up with digital marketing and the need to keep feeding the beast known as the algorithm.

  • Content creators are able to think objectively about your business- something it’s difficult to do if you’ve nurtured your business from scratch. They will be able to see the weak points in your marketing plan and come up with creative solutions.
  • They will do the research for you - finding out what your audience is interested in to ensure the content you post is relevant to your followers.
  • A dedicated social media manager can free up your precious time by handling your social media for you- from writing great content to scheduling it for the perfect time to gain maximum engagement.
  • They can come up with creative ideas for amazing content.
  • They can handle the technical side of adding content to your website, across different social media platforms and producing email newsletters.
  • They will be able to ensure a consistent tone and voice is used in all your content- strengthening your brand and building trust with your customers.

Do you struggle to come up with exciting, interesting and relevant content?

Build Your 2023 Marketing Strategy

Building the right strategy now will help your business through the year. In an economic downturn, it's even more vital to plan and allocate budgets to the right place, creating a marketing plan can help you to do this.
Build Your 2023 Marketing Strategy
For some helpful tips with a Digital Marketing Strategy read our blog Financial Crisis - Why Digital Marketing is Vital for your Business

​The main points to consider when creating a marketing strategy are:
  • SWOT - identify your business’s Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats.
  • Decide what you want to achieve - your marketing plan should be linked to your business goals, both short and long term. Have your business objectives in mind when writing your marketing plan.
  • Know your customers - to gain an insight into your business and where it stands try asking your customers their opinions.
  • Research the competition - find out who your competitors are, look at their strengths and weaknesses. It’s always worth knowing what your competitors offer that you don’t.
  • Strategies - determine how you can best reach your target customers covering all marketing channels to achieve your plan.
  • Budget - it’s important to have a budget set aside for your marketing and you need to stick to it.

There are a number of marketing channels you can cover in your strategy including:
  • Email Marketing - newsletters/e-bulletins
  • Website Content - Home page design, landing pages, products & services
  • Blogs - Case studies and blogs
  • Social Media - Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn etc
  • Print Collateral - Stationery, folded leaflets, flyers
  • Vehicle livery and exhibitions stands

If you’re pressed for time a 12 month plan seems like too much to tackle, then you can try a 3 month plan. Here you would focus on short term goals and then branch out from this once you’ve completed it.

If you need any help or advice Creative Remedy are here to support you, so please get in touch if you have any questions.
