Why is it essential to have a strategic marketing plan?โ 
โ 
1. A marketing plan like this helps you evaluate the current environment, competition and respective gaps in the market. Think of it as an audit.โ 
โ 
2. Its a pro-active way to establish marketing goals and the tactics to achieve them.โ 
โ 
3. Planning helps you to identify the actions needed to achieve your goals and how you can measure your performance and success. โ 
โ 
- Provides focusโ 
- Saves time and moneyโ 
- Transcribes vision and mission into initiativesโ 
- Serves as the foundation of all your communication campaignsโ

Use this as a rough guideline for your Tuesday and I PROMISE you'll be more productive. We cannot express the importance of to-do-lists and general planning of your day. It separates your day into sections and enables to tick things off of your list and feel more productive and successful for doing so. Both of which are great for the mind. Positivity breeds positivity. ๐Ÿ˜โ

Are you Phoebe and donโ€™t even have a โ€œplaโ€??? Letโ€™s change that NOW!

There are largely three things that help keep us productive throughout the week; ambition, coffee (lol) and PLANNING.
We canโ€™t stress enough how important it is to be planning your weeks content the week prior. It allows you to be organised and stops you from needing to worry about it for the entirety of your week. It also creates a regular posting schedule which is SUPER important. Here are a few things that make content planning that little bit easier:

๐Ÿ’™1. Research your HASHTAGS: Keep your hashtags up-to-date and relatable. Is there an important event this week? If so, have a look at the popular hashtags surrounding the event; which are going to work for you? Pop them in at the bottom of your post and voila. You can schedule your posts AND captions using Later.

๐Ÿ’š2. Similarly to your hashtags, research your THEME. It may sound silly, but is it the final of GBBO? Is it Halloween? Or is it Christmas? If so, keep it festive and keep your content relevant. Work the weeks theme into most if not all your postsโ€ฆ however subtle.

๐Ÿ’™3. This leads us on to INFLUENCERS. If your content is relevant, then you should be following relevant influencers, and if your content and following list compliment eachotherโ€ฆ PERFECT. Tag them/ mention them in the compliments.

๐Ÿ’š4. QUOTES are so good for your feed, not only are they great fillers for when your content is a little sparce, but more often than not, they are super relatable and shared easily amongst your audience.
If you want a helping hand with your content ideas, send us a message and weโ€™ll see what we can do.

๐Ÿ“ธGood vs Bad photo: I think itโ€™s pretty obvious, even to the untrained eye, to see which image is most aesthetically pleasing to possible customers. A good photo makes the product look more attractive, and although this may make us shallow, we as humans beans (hehe) are more inclined to buy a product if it looks nice.

๐ŸŽจColour Scheme: Sometimes we forget how much of an impact colours have on our feed. Think largely about your colour palette as the โ€œbrandโ€ of your Instagram feed. Your colour scheme is the visual identity of your feed. Use Apps such as Preview to make sure your colour scheme is evident and attractive.

โŒ›Short Captions: Later data shows that posts with longer captions generally had a higher engagement rate than those with shorter captions โ€“ the more you share, the better engagement!

Do you post and then lock your phone and hope for the best? Yeah we know you do, youโ€™ve got to stop.โ

Before you post: NETWORK NETWORK NETWORK!!! Get out there and speak to those you want to engage with, congratulate them on a milestone or simply comment and say hello. Manors cost nothing ๐Ÿ˜‰โ

***POST***โ 
โ 
After you post: Reply to comments on your post and tease your followers by sharing your new post to your story, perhaps even covering the main focus. Keep them wanting more. Cheeky.โ

And not just for the Ciara puns ๐Ÿ˜‰

SWIPE right for three things you NEED to have upon launching your online presence for your business.

Logo: You need a logo for your brand. Itโ€™s the first impression of yourselves that you promote to an audience. It separates you from your competition and fosters brand loyalty. Itโ€™s the minimal expectation of any consumer. An effective logo is the stronghold of any successful business.

Establish social channels: Make yourself known and youโ€™ve got to be seen to be able to do that. Pick your platforms: Instagram? Linkedin? Pinterest? Or all of the above, to keep your business name in the mouths of your future customers. Youโ€™ve got to keep your content consistent. Youโ€™ve got to make an impact.

Create a website: Search engines such as google are the modern-day yellow pages. Adaptive marketing revealed that 97% of people use the web to find local businesses over any other platform. Therefore, if you are wanting to grow your business from the bottom up or even the middle up, you need to be able to be found online. A website is single-handedly the best way to do this.

Let us help you with all of the above ๐Ÿค

*Download these apps now*
๐ŸŒŠ๐ŸŒŠ๐ŸŒŠ๐ŸŒŠ๐ŸŒŠ๐ŸŒŠ๐ŸŒŠ๐ŸŒŠ๐ŸŒŠ๐ŸŒŠ

Later- Is the best scheduling app out there. It allows you to automate your posts ahead of time, giving you more time to spend on other aspects of digital marketing. Plus,the first 30 posts a month are free.

Preview- Slightly different to a scheduling app, โ€˜Previewโ€™ by name and nature is a previewing app that allows you to see how your post will look in the grand scheme of your theme and feed, before you actually post it. Great for making sure that your visuals stay in-line with your brands presence.

VSCO- A photo editing and sharing app that is all about transparency with notes of aesthetics rather than being all about the aesthetics with a hint of transparency. Itโ€™s free.

Canva โ€“ A graphic design platform for newbies; presentations, posters, logos itโ€™s perfect for the lot of them. The app has built in templates for users to get involved with. The best thing? Itโ€™s so easy to use even your Nan could get to grips.

Unsplash โ€“ Shutterstock but bigger and better and FREE!

Don't spread yourself thin. Don't put yourself down. However little it may seem, you've conquered so much this week already. It's essential to take days where you reflect on everything you have done and congratulate yourself. Cheers to you ๐Ÿฅ‚โ
