This past February, I was invited to participate in the AICI Global Black History Month Celebration. Not only did I co-host an event with Naana Badu called “Visibility, Business, & Wellness: Conversations with Black Women Image Consultants,” but I was also asked by Editor in chief, Smashing Daily, to write an article about the event in our global magazine!

I invite you to take a look at not just my article, but at the magazine to learn about our organization and how we help image consultants throughout the world build their brands.

Imagine a world without social media! We've all witnessed social media platforms shutting down. Just earlier this week, Slack experienced an outage. Though social media has fantastic networking platforms, situations like that always make me think, "How can we connect with our clients if social media no longer exists"? 🤔

Before social media (yes, that type of life existed LOL), business owners could attract clients through word of mouth, telephone calls, and EMAIL LISTS💻. What is an email list, you ask? An email list contains the email addresses of your clients that would like to receive notifications from you.

Your messages on social media are seen based on the algorithm system, so there is no guarantee that your audience will see all of your posts. However, once a client is on your email list, they will receive blog notifications, discounts, Golden Tips 😉, and other updates about your business.

Unsure of how to start an email list or which services to use? Start by adding a call to action 🗣 on your posts and website. Also, make sure you have a "Subscription" section in numerous places on your site. Lastly, offer your clients EXCLUSIVE incentives for signing up! Tools you should consider are Mailchimp, Wix, Constant Contact, and ConvertKit.

If you already have an email list, make sure to review for inactive customers who have not opened your emails in a while and reintroduce yourself and your brand. (Pssst...offer a SECRET incentive🤫)

Trust me when I tell you, your clients want to hear from and maintain a relationship with you. Creating your email list will be one of the best things you can do for your brand and clients.

When you hear the term "Image Consultant," what is the first thing that comes to mind? I bet your answer is Stylist. No, that does not make me a psychic LOL, though I wish that were my superpower, Stylist is what I'm frequently told any time I tell someone that I am an Image Consultant.

Though a Stylist and Image Consultant have similarities we have many differences. As Image Consultants, it is our responsibility to ensure that your outer appearance is consistent with your personal, social, and professional life.

First impressions are the name of the game and Image Consultants works with you to improve:
(A)ppearance: Wardrobe, Accessories, Style Type, Body Image.
(B)ehavior: Etiquette, Body Language.
(C)ommunication: How you grab your audience's attention with your messages or thoughts.
(D)igital: How you show up via your social media platforms, podcasts, and websites.

We work with you to find an understanding as to who your aspire to be and pair you with looks that are relevant and aligned with your message. Our clients are empowered with a new level of confidence that grants them an opportunity to get a job, promotion, or more involved in their communities.

Black Gold Imaging is designed to help you step out into your highest potential. Let's transform your life through style!

We have officially entered 2021, and though some of you may have planned a social distant safe party, many may have been hesitant on how to welcome this year after a rough 2020.

Thanks to technology such as WhatsApp, Zoom, and Google Meets, we can share the excitement and love with our close friends and family near and far.

Though 2020 was rough, we are looking forward to the love, success, togetherness, health, and wellness that 2021 will bring.

Happy Golden New Year 2021! Cheers🍾
