How to Fall in Love with Pinterest

11/2/2021

0 Comments

 
Are you unsure how Pinterest can help you and your business? Perhaps you feel overwhelmed with the many social media platforms and apps you currently manage and don’t think there’s room in your life for another! Now is the perfect time to reassess your relationship with Pinterest and see if you can find the love or rekindle it, who knows where it could lead!
How to Fall in Love with Pinterest
The Perfect Marriage
Falling in love with Pinterest is pretty easy- it’s simple to use and in return you get loads of great ideas. Keep the relationship running smoothly by following these simple tips:
  • Show off your best assets- Personalise your Pinterest account with your business or brand logo and don’t forget a link to your website.
  • Don’t mix business with pleasure- Ensure you set up a separate account for your business- the aim of the game here is to increase interaction with your followers and build engagement. A great way of doing this is  by sharing photos of customers using your products and services as well as stand alone product images. 
  • Free love- Spread the love for your business without spending any money. One of the great things about Pinterest is it doesn’t need to cost you anything so you can raise your business profile and boost interactions and all it will cost you is a bit of your time!
  • Home is where the heart (your website) is- Make sure every pin you post has a link back to your website. This way the image will always lead back to your website- no matter how far it is shared across Pinterest.
  • Beauty is in the eye of the beholder- Pinterest is a visual tool so every image needs to be interesting and engaging. This doesn’t mean Pinterest is only for arts or media based businesses, if you provide a service then why not post ‘How To’ articles and position yourself as an expert in your field?
  • Relationship building- Collaborate with other local businesses to increase engagement within your local community. Perhaps set up a board for local businesses and pin their content- sharing is caring! 

Pinterest can really help boost your business but as with any relationship it requires work and communication! So put the time and effort in and make sure you post regularly for maximum engagement.

LinkedIn, most small business owners have a personal profile but not a business page and how many of us really know how to make it work for us? There are so many social media apps we need to take care of, it can be quite tempting to just ignore LinkedIn but you could be missing out on some really great opportunities.
HOW TO FALL IN LOVE WITH LINKEDIN
Give yourself a makeover
Your LinkedIn profile is the first thing your new contacts will see so make sure you stand out for all the right reasons. First impressions really do count! Be sure to update regularly adding any new skills and accomplishments. Don’t be shy, make sure you include a picture to truly personalise your profile, it will make you appear much more approachable.
 
Show your business some love
By creating a LinkedIn Company page you are giving your customers and contacts all the information they need to learn about your business, your products and the services you offer. It’s free for anyone to set up company pages and having one really will benefit your LinkedIn profile.
 
Share the love
The more connections you have on your Company Page the more people will see your published updates. With InMail Don’t just connect to anyone, make sure you know them or have at least some synergy. Be sure to add any employees as they are far more likely to share any posts you make. Promote your company page on your website, in your emails and blogs to help try and encourage more people to follow you.
 
Communication is key
It’s easy to keep in touch with your contacts especially using LinkedIn messaging. You can use it to organise meetings and keep in touch with your connections. Sometimes a friendly chat is all it takes to reconnect with a business acquaintance.
 
LinkedIn is just as important as all other social media platforms, in fact in the last year it has seen huge growth with lots more people engaging on here daily. In platform advertising could transform it further. Show it some love and reap the benefits!

4 Reasons Why Blogging in Great For Your Business

5/10/2018

0 Comments

 
You might think having a blog on your business website is one too many things to maintain. After all, when you’re a small business owner you’re already juggling all your social media as well as actually running your business. But you could be missing out on the potential to reach out to new customers and ultimately boost your online presence.
Picture
You know how important it is to update your website regularly and how maintaining your social media accounts can help draw in new customers but adding a blog to your website will also help drive traffic and boost your business.

So why should you blog?
  1. Advertise your skills. You know your business better than anybody else so what better way to share your knowledge and skills than by engaging your customers and potential customers through your blog. Your customers may not know all the skills you have to offer and the blog is a great way of advertising this.
  2. Connect with new customers. Your blog will drive new customers your way. Every time you add a new blog post it has the potential to be shared on social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook and could introduce you to a whole new audience. Also, every new post you write will boost the chances of your website showing up in a search engine which, in turn, can drive more customers your way.
  3. Help your customers solve a problem. When you write your blog you should use it to answer the questions you think your customers will have. By doing this you will establish yourself as knowledgeable and an expert in your field and could help build trust in you and your services.
  4. Give you content to post on social media. When you write your blogs they should be interesting and informative. This will ensure you have relevant, engaging content to post on your social media platforms which will then, get shared by your followers, and even their followers.

Business blogging should be seen as another essential marketing tool that can help you grow your business. By aiming for a regular blog post you can make sure you are engaging with new and existing customers on a regular basis, increasing your online presence and promoting yourself as an industry leader (it also helps with search engine optimisation!).

If you’ve not got a blog up and running yet, now is the time to start!

10 TIPS TO NAVIGATE YOUR WAY THROUGH LINKEDIN

  • Connect with new contacts When given a business card from a new contact be sure to ask permission to connect with them on LinkedIn - this helps build your network of contacts.
  • Reciprocate Endorsements When a contact visits your profile they can endorse one of your areas of expertise or suggest a new skill to add to your profile. This is important as people with at least 5 skills listed on their profile receive more views.
  • Use the search function The search box allows you to look for posts, people to connect with, jobs etc and with the filter option you can find exactly what you’re looking for.
