The Meta (Facebook) Kerfuffle - What Can You Do to Avoid The Social Media Shutdown Effect? | Jenny Laine Designs
|
Dear Reader, This week, Meta went silent...we all watched...refreshed our screens...is it back up we wondered. While some use Facebook to mindlessly scroll, many users depend on it for social media marketing and business. And when a big platform shuts down, many feel it in their wallets. I have a feeling many of you reading this often use it for both personal and business reasons. Email for your business is two-fold and many people get these two things confused.
When considering email marketing, there are many free options for a limited amount of subscribers that have limited features so that you can see if it is a good fit for your business. To wrap up, remember while social media is an amazing outlet for promotion, you don’t own your social media channels. You do, however, own your email list and you can stay in front of your customers as often as you like, unlike the algorithms on certain SM platforms. This doesn’t have to be a complex marketing system if you don’t want it to be. You can do simple email blasts such as your latest products or services, special offers, and where you will be offering your products or services if you attend meet-ups, conventions, or markets. Signing and Designing,

Hey Reader, Have you ever written a messy email? It doesn’t have a perfectly self-contained message, and there’s no neat sign-off or sales pitch at the end. It’s not overly polished, and it reads a little bit like something you’d get from a friend. These emails can actually encourage more engagement from your customers than their perfected counterparts. I’m not saying you need to write a bad email or put less care into your email marketing. Absolutely not. It’s very important to keep creating...
Hey Reader, It’s easy to look at SEO (Search Engine Optimization) as a quick fix. At first glance, it may seem obvious to you that you can purchase SEO services and find your website appearing at the top of the search results almost instantly. However, this is a very common misunderstanding of how SEO works. It takes time for SEO work to pay off and bring benefits to your business. An easy way to look at SEO is to compare it to visiting a gym when you want to lose weight or build some muscle....
