⏰ Time For A New Chapter

It turns out I’m a bit of a boomerang – I’ve left self-employment, come back, and now I’m off again. This time though, it feels like the right move at the right time.

Sam Dixon Marketing has always been something I’ve come back to - it’s been my heart and hustle, and I’ve had the absolute joy of working with brilliant business owners who put their all into what they do. I’ve learnt so much, laughed a lot, and maybe cried over a few Mailchimp glitches too.

But… the market’s shifted, the landscape’s changed, and if I’m honest - it’s been a tough time for many of us self-employed folk.

Plus, I started to feel like I wasn’t really using everything I had to offer, and I knew I wanted to get that spark back.

So when the right opportunity came up, it just made sense. A new challenge, a proper team again, and a chance to bring all my marketing experience into something fresh. I've just shared on LinkedIn I started on Wednesday.

To my clients, cheerleaders and fellow business owners - thank you. You’ve kept me going more than you know.

And to anyone else wondering whether it’s time to try something new - trust yourself. It doesn’t mean what you built wasn’t worth it. It just means you’re allowed to grow.

Wishing you all the best.

I’ve not posted in over 6 weeks. And honestly, it feels brilliant.

I'm not done. I'm not going anywhere. But right now, I’ve got enough.

Enough work. Enough connection. Enough to be deeply grateful for.

I'm choosing to focus on those I’m already working alongside and where I'm already part of a Community. My fabulous clients, my Huddle members and those who are part of the Thrive Collective crew - and of course me.

I'm pleased to say there'll be no pressure to 'keep up'. I'm choosing slower days, time with friends and family and enjoying the summer with my husband and two boys.

Workwise - my priority is to those who are already invested in working together.

No doubt I'll be showing up on my stories (my favourite part of the socials) - keeping the conversations going and connections continuing. I've still got a job to do. But I'm feeling a shift in energy.

Back on the grid and in your inbox in the Autumn.

Likes won’t keep your business going.

And the algorithm? It couldn’t care less how hard you’re trying. However many hoops you jump through.

Email is where you stop shouting into the void and start having actual conversations.
It’s not just another task – it’s a game changer.

And before you say, “I don’t know what to send” or “my list is tiny” – that’s exactly where I come in.

Drop me a message. Let’s sort it.

Well, hopefully it beats a "death by Powerpoint" presentation!

On Monday, I gave a talk all about email marketing to the brilliant members and guests of - hosted at the

I had originally intended to pack as many hints, tips and stats as I could into 20 minutes.

But last minute I had a change of plan. Why not ask those who were coming. What's holding you back? What can I help with to get you using more email marketing in your business.

And they sent me some crackers! Here are just a few
👉 "What on earth do I even say in an email?"
👉 "How do I stop landing in spam?"
👉 "Where do I even begin when it all feels so overwhelming?"

(If you've ever thought the same, you are definitely not alone.)

The good news?
You don’t need to be an expert, a tech wizard, or have a huge list to make email marketing work for you.

You just need to start – don't overthink. Share something helpful, share something valuable, drop by and let your list know who you are where they can find you. Just start.

And the even better news? If you missed my session, I've got SO MANY blogs on my website that covers most of these questions. So go and have a read. I'll link some in my stories.

And if you're already on my email list, keep an eye on your inbox for a super special offer coming your way tomorrow. I've been inspired on how I can help more.

Any questions I've missed? What's holding you back when it comes to email marketing?

I saw this quote recently, and it hit me hard.

The truth is, the past few months I've had my confidence knocked.

Not in a dramatic way. But in that quiet, creeping way that makes you second-guess your voice, your ideas, your work.

But I’m back now.

Feeling more focused. Reconnected with my why. And ready to show up fully again.

So if you’ve been feeling a little off track or like you've lost your spark, I'm right there with you.

And if it helps, I'm sharing 3 quick things that helped me shift the fog and start moving again:

✨ 1. Speak to someone who gets it.
Sometimes a a cuppa and a chat with a business mate who 'gets it' and more importantly, gets you, is super powerful and helpful. To remind yourself who you are.

✨ 2. Look at why you're brilliant.
Scroll back through recent testimonials, DMs, kind words. Remind yourself what you're great at. If you've not asked for testimonials recently, do it - it'll pump you up! I promise! And great for your marketing!

✨ 3. Choose progress over perfection.
You know I love this already. If the plan feels too big, just send the email, write the first sentence, reach out and ask for help.

It's been a wonderful first week back after the long Easter holidays. I've loved catching up with clients, leading the first of a new Huddle and meeting with the two new co-founders of Thrive Collective who have joined me recently.

If you’ve been feeling the same, I’d love to hear how you’ve been navigating the wobbly bits of business. Or life infact!

Are you in need of some marketing support (without the overwhelm)?

You're not alone. So many business owners I speak to know they want to be more consistent, more visible, more strategic... but just don’t know where to start.

That’s where I come in. 🙋‍♀️

Whether you need someone to help you map it all out, make progress alongside you, or just take things off your plate completely, I’ve got a few ways we can work together – and they all start with what works best for you.

👇 Swipe through to see 5 ways I can help with your marketing:
1️⃣ Email Marketing – strategy, set-up or management. I'm all about the email marketing.
2️⃣ Plan It. Write It. Schedule It – in-person 2 hour group power sessions. 3 dates to choose from
3️⃣ Half or Full Day Strategy Sessions – get clear and focused. Let's map out your strategy and your marketing plans together
4️⃣ 90 Days to Thrive – fortnightly progress & accountability to keep you on track.
5️⃣ Thrive Collective – my networking group for like-minded women in business in Bishop's Stortford and Saffron Walden.

If you'd like to chat through what might work best for you, drop me a message and let’s have a chat.

All pricing and all details are on my website too. So go have a nosey.

Let's remove that marketing overwhelm together. And get you and your business thriving.

Don't swipe if you're fully booked.

(But if you’ve got space to fill in your business… we need to talk.)

I work with business owners - restaurants, salons, retailers, service providers - who already have a list of customers sitting in their booking system or mailing list, but aren’t doing anything with it.

And once we start emailing that list. They see results.

Like “£5+ back for every £1 spent” kind of results.

You don’t need fancy funnels or a weekly newsletter (if we work together you know what I think to newsletters).

You need simple, strategic emails that actually get sent.

If that sounds like something you and your business could benefit from, drop me a message. I'm taking on new clients after the Easter holidays. So let's chat. Drop me a DM and I'll send you a link to book in for a chat.

It's a cliche - but let's stop leaving money on the table.

// IT'S TIME ///

To see who's joining my brand new Huddle straight after Easter.

The Huddle is a way to work with me over a 6 month period, meeting in person every month for 3 hours to help you thrive in your business. It's one of my absolute favourite ways of working and I'm thrilled to be running two Huddles for the first time ever.

And so, I'm excited to shine a spotlight and give a warm welcome to Nichola from Wild + Mae , Sarah from The Unapologetic MompreneurCheryl from Little Luna Creations and Nicole from 𝐅𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐋𝐮𝐱𝐞 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐥 𝐂𝐨. 𝑵𝒊𝒄𝒐𝒍𝒆 𝑳𝒆𝒘𝒊𝒔 𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒗𝒆𝒍 𝑪𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒐𝒓

The Huddle is not networking, but a dedicated space to set goals, a place to be challenged, to share the highs and lows of running a business and of course a place to be surrounded my like-minded women to celebrate those wins. And new for this time around, we've extended the time for a spotlight each month on marketing and time each month for a business discussion or topic.

There's room for one more so if you've been on the fence, this is the only group I'll be running this year - come and Huddle with us. Link in bio.

If you're not yet following these 4 fabulous businesses, then please do. You're going to be seeing a lot more of them over the coming months.

Let's Huddle!

Are you running a restaurant, a shop, a gym, a hairdressers, an event space, infact any business with a physical location?

I’m working with more and more of these types of business owners because they all have one thing in common.

Know what it is? They have a shed load of data they're not using. And I'm here to help them with their email marketing.

So unless your fully booked. Every single day. you are literally leaving money in your booking system!

You’ve got email addresses from people who’ve visited, booked, or bought from you… but you’re stuck on what to send. I get it – I remember feeling the same when we ran Work From Here, our co-working space in Bishop's Stortford.

But by leaving email marketing out of your efforts, you could be missing out on more engagement, more loyalty, more bookings and footfall – and yes, more sales.

So, to help you get started, I’ve shared 5 email content ideas for premises-based businesses in my latest blog:
👉 https://samdixon.co.uk/blog/5-email-ideas-for-a-premise-based-business/

Here’s what you’ll find:
1️⃣ Event announcements
2️⃣ Exclusive in-store offers
3️⃣ New stock or menu updates
4️⃣ Staff introductions or stories
5️⃣ Loyalty programme updates

These ideas are easy to action and brilliant for keeping your customers connected to your business – and giving them reasons to visit again and again. I come back to this list with my own clients.

👉 If you need help into making use of all that gorgeous and profitable data into sales, drop me a message or book a chat – let’s get your email strategy working harder for you.
