Clover Creative - Kate Winter Cole

06/02/2026

Hypocrite confession... I tell all of my clients to post regularly on social media. This is my first post in a MONTH. Yikes.

The rollout of Clover Creative is way more involved than a pretty logo...
⭐ I've moved to a new CRM where I'm streamlining contracts, invoices, scheduling, and emails. This has been a total game-changer. I'm loving Honeybook if you're shopping for a new system.
⭐ I migrated to a new social media scheduling system. I'd been a loyal user of Loomly for years, but the recent price hike doesn't work for me. So far, RecurPost has everything I need, PLUS better reporting.
⭐ I'm reworking my email newsletters and leveling up to a more discoverable platform. I'm really excited to share this with you soon!

Social media has fallen down the priority list. And that's okay for a minute as I reevaluate what I want my relationship with social media to be this year.

So if you're still reading... what types of social media content would you find useful from me going forward:

❓Marketing tips

❓Info on the systems I use to run my business

❓Stories of the clients I work with

❓Something else?

Let me know in the comments!

Something new is blooming.

For years, I’ve operated as a freelancer, helping businesses check boxes. But I’ve realized that checking boxes doesn’t build empires—strategy does.

It is time to evolve.

Kate Winter Digital Solutions is becoming Clover Creative Co.

We are shifting from a service provider to a strategic partner. We are moving from "hustle" to "flow." We are moving from "freelancer" to "agency of one."

Same Kate. New Vision.

Full reveal and new services dropping in January.

Get ready to grow.

This Thanksgiving, I've been reflecting on a year that hasn't always been easy, both for Kate Winter Digital Solutions and for many of my incredible small business clients. It's in these challenging times that I've truly learned the profound importance of gratitude.

I'm deeply grateful for the good people in my life – those who inspire, support, and uplift. I'm grateful for the opportunities, big and small, that allow us to grow and innovate. And most of all, I'm grateful for the spirit of community, for all of us who take care of each other, in business and beyond.

Wishing you and yours a warm and wonderful Thanksgiving filled with peace, connection, and gratitude.

Warmly,
Kate

Cloudflare interruption is messing up my day. Luckily, most of my client websites are NOT impacted, but many of the websites/tools I use to manage my business are.

Just a reminder that technology is not perfect.

I can take a deep breath and enjoy my coffee for a few extra minutes.

Cloudflare was experiencing issues with its global network, the company said Tuesday, disrupting service for many websites and apps including X and OpenAI's ChatGPT.

💥 Stop the End-of-Year Panic

The pumpkin spice has faded, and now we're staring down the final two months of the year. The secret to a fantastic new year isn't waiting until January 1st—it's executing a few smart, low-lift actions right now in November.

5 Ways to Finish Strong & Set Up 2026:

🔍 Quick-Hit Content Audit

Find the 3 blog posts, emails, or social posts that drove the best results this year.
🌟 Re-share them this month! Give your proven content a fresh headline and a new spin. You already know they work—leverage that power.

🎁 Create Your "Easy Button" Gift Guide

Clients are looking for last-minute gifts, even for services!
🌟 Put together a simple "Future-Proofing" Bundle or a gift certificate package. For products, try a simple PDF of "Top 5 Gifts Under $50." Make it painless for shoppers, and use it to move any aging inventory!

✅ Clean Up Your Data

A messy email list wastes money.
🌟 Remove subscribers who haven't engaged in 6-12 months. This drastically improves your deliverability, ensuring your most important holiday messages land in the inbox.

🤝 Co-Market with a Friend

The holiday season is noisy. Share the mic (and the audience) with a complementary business.
🌟 Partner with a non-competitor for a quick joint Instagram Live or a cross-promotion. Get new eyes on your brand for zero ad spend!

🗓️ Lock in Your 2026 Strategy Session

Imagine the relief of having a clear, data-driven plan before the champagne corks pop.
🌟 Block out two hours this month to reflect on your 2025 results and commit to planning.

If Tip #5 is the relief you desperately need—the one thing that will truly transform your next year—then let's connect!

We can use your 2025 results to build a crystal-clear, effective marketing roadmap for 2026. Walk into January 1st with a plan, not a prayer.

Send me a DM to discuss your 2026 strategy!

Cheers to a productive November!

⏳ Only 65 days left in the year! 🤯

It's crunch time. Which path are you choosing to close out 2025?

1. Kick back and relax. 🌴 Let's be real, 2026 is a Future You problem.

2. Go feral. 🏃‍♀️ Run at the rest of 2025 like it owes you money (it probably does), use the same tactics that failed, and hope for a miracle.

3. Get a head start! 💡 Start your 2026 planning now. Work with a pro to review your 2025 efforts, make a smart plan, and glide into January 1st feeling totally prepared.

Your move. 😉
