2. Convey branding in every message - respond back to reviews and include one of your values in each message.
3. Make sure all your values are listed in a well designed website - the majority of Americans are now on their phones, online, reading reviews and researching.
3. Be consistent - Stay true to who you are, always!

By being transparent and consistent in your branding and messaging, you'll attract those loyal customers and start to build long-lasting relationships over time.

Why should they choose you? Here's some food for thought:

1. Think about your branding. Is it attractive and how does it appear on your website and social media accounts?
2. Think about your offer. What do you have or is willing to give to stand out from the others?

Have you read up on the major social media marketing trends for this year yet?

In a survey of over 1,000 marketers across several industries, industry experts have been able to outline which trends will change or get stronger over the next year.

1. Live content is becoming more prominent, as people enjoy the authenticity of formats that allow them to meet their favorite brands and creators face to face

2. Short-form video has overtaken and will continue to outgrow long-form video (except for Youtube that is).

3. Due to more platforms coming out that value face-to-face content, most companies will build 3 to 5 social media platforms

4. Companies will do best to keep their content permanently so that people returning to their profiles can reference it, thus driving up traffic to all of their other platforms and websites

5. TikTok will continue to grow as a major social media platform for both individuals and companies, thanks to short-form video and the ability to foster relationships with consumers

6. Since people value creating lasting connections with the content they consume and the people who make it, influencer marketing will go from being a trend to a strategic tactic

7. Shoppers will more likely want to buy your products on social media. Today, more than 80% of consumers research services and products online prior to making a purchase. This trend will continue to grow

Consumers are more careful now to spend their money due to current changes in the market, however, businesses that strategically utilize social media platforms and create content to connect with their customers' values and develop community will likely see more success despite market changes.

The marketing rule of 7 states that it takes about 7 times for a client to hear an advertiser's message BEFORE making the purchase. Why? It's because when you start advertising, your audience does not know you yet and do not trust you yet.

So here's 4 ways to use WARM UP ads on your targeted audience to peek their interest, trust you more, overcome their uncertainty, and get them to purchase from you sooner:

1. Create a warm up ad that addresses myths most people believe in but you, as the expert, can debunk. Couple this with a compelling copy to establish yourself as an informative authority early on.

2. Create a "Top 3 Secrets to # # #" ad. Come up with a topic related to your service that is very specific that only the people who have that problem will be interested in clicking on your ad or content.

3. Create a message that takes a stand against popular beliefs. While addressing myths is about debunking beliefs, this message instead establishes your strong beliefs and puts it at the forefront of your ad.

4. Finally, create content that addresses "Top mistakes people make when # # #." Again, this will position you as the authority and that you know what you're talking about.

Try these tips to warming up your audience and let us know how it went!

How good is your business at generating customer retention?

We've identified 4 pillars of great customer retention, based on industry wide data:

1. Customer Experience - Create and maintain an enjoyable customer experience from start to finish. This is one of the leading reasons why customers come back. Ask yourself, if you were to be your own client, would you enjoy how your own business treat you?

2. Great Communication - Don't make your customers go to great lengths just to talk to you. If they're having a hard time getting the information they need from you, they'll more likely bounce to another competitor who has better communication systems. Make it easy for them to get in touch and to continue conversations with you as this all helps to build rapport, trust, and ultimately, the in person experience.

3. Customer Feedback - It feels great to get a positive feedback but not so great with a criticizing one. Do you often hear the same feedback? Don't ignore them! Keep the good feedback and improve on the bad. Actually listen to what your customers have to say because past, current, and future customers really are reading those feedbacks online and how you're dealing with it.

4. Loyalty Programs - Set up an enticing program that will keep your customers coming back. Don't just sell a single service; book them out weekly, monthly or yearly depending on your service, their needs and budget.

Keep in mind these 4 tips and your customers will always keep coming back, guaranteed.

How do you generate leads organically?

1. Understand who you are as a business - what are you passionate about? How can you show up authentically to your customers?

2. Create interesting content that people want to interact with - short videos, engaging texts, eye-catching hooks are are very popular!

3. Post regularly and consistently - utilizing planners is key.

4. Leverage social media platforms - consider your target audience; Facebook for millennials and older, TikTok for youths and 20s, Instagram and Youtube for a wide variety of ages. Not only that, is your service visual & creative such as clothing, art, beauty? Focus on visual platforms like Instagram or Pinterest. Are you product based? Consider newer platforms like PopShop Live. Test and see which platforms would be most effective for you!

5. Use keywords in your posts and captions so the algorithms can categorize your profile appropriately - pretty self explanatory!

Follow these 5 key tips and you should see your profile grow naturally over time and generate new leads.
