🎄 Christmas gifting! 🎄⁠⠀
⁠⠀
While I love the holiday season and having an excuse to shop up locally to support our small businesses for our Christmas gifts, I also know many families are doing it tough this year and I thought it would be helpful to do a bit of research and share with you all some incredible New Zealand charities that are looking for donations to help out our kiwi families this Christmas. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Here are a few that I would like to highlight which I will personally be supporting - ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
🎄 @christmasbox_nz - For every $30 you donate, they feed a family in need at Christmas. Christmas Box and their sponsors more than double your donation to an approximate value of $75. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
🎄 Shoebox Christmas Aotearoa - delivers Christmas presents, wrapped in a shoebox, to kids who could do with an extra smile on Christmas Day. You can sign up via there website and they will tell you who to buy for, their age, interests and school.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
🎄 Foster Hope NZ - Foster Hope collects new, unwrapped Christmas presents for children in foster care throughout New Zealand. Drop off points are listed on their website. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Many NZ charities are also looking for volunteers to help wrap and package presents this December so head on over to their websites to find out more. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Please share this post ♥️⁠⠀

*If there is any information I have wrong above or any other charity you would love me to add to this please send me a message. ⁠⠀

I could not be more grateful for our small team of incredibly motivated and inspiring woman we have here at Socialised. These amazing women (who are also all Mothers to young children) are the reason this business has been able to make it through the past 12 months and I truly could not of kept this business running while juggling life with a new born without them! It has been a challenging year to say the least 😅⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Let me introduce you to our team - ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Tess is our social media manager whiz who looks after every part of social media management from curating content, editing imagery, engagement, designing graphics, Instagram stories, reporting etc. @littlelifestylenz⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Rebekah is our copywriter who writes majority of our clients posts and proofreads all the ones that I write (spelling is not my strong point!). She also helps with anything that needs copy written for such as marketing emails and e-books. ⁠@rebekahproffit⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Emma is our social media manager and an incredibly skilled marketing professional (who might I add is far more qualified for this job than me!). She has a wealth of experience in marketing and social media and while currently on mat leave we are excited to have her return in a few weeks. @emma_michelle_kay⁠⠀
⁠⠀
While I'm based in Nelson myself our team (and clients) are based all across New Zealand so getting together for a team photo or any type of social catch up is a bit tricky. Everyone has been hired via zoom/phone interviews and I’m yet to even meet Rebekah face to face!Thankfully one of my former careers in recruitment has come in handy 🤣 ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Here is to our small but powerful team 🙌

Acknowledge and celebrate your wins ⚡⁠⠀
⁠⠀
This has been a game changer for me. I think for a lot of us in business we are always focusing on 'more'. More sales, more clients, more enquiries, more results etc. It's not often that we take a moment to actually acknowledge just how far we have come, let alone celebrate those wins!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
It is incredibly powerful to reflect and acknowledge your accomplishments in business. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
This year has been challenging for so many of us small business owners and now more than ever we need to be recognising every thing that's going to help keep pushing us forward. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
After some helpful advice from my business coach I now see the value in recognising even those small daily wins. If you take a moment to reflect on your day/week/month you will be surprised how many 'wins' you can take note of. This could be as small as receiving a new enquiry from your ideal client or receiving some positive feedback. While they may seem small now in the long term they could have a big impact on your business. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Here are some tips for how you can track your wins - ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
⚡ When something good happens (no matter how small) throughout the day write in down ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
⚡ Spend a dedicated hour every week working on your business, reflect on the week that has been and any wins/lessons to note⁠⠀
⁠⠀
⚡ Screen shot (and share) testimonials and reviews from clients. This is also amazing to use for social proof on Instagram!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
⚡ Ask for feedback from clients. Good or constructive - it will all be helpful in the long term. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
⚡ Keep track of everything that you really value in your business - such as client feedback, stats, reviews, referrals, enquiries, sales etc. I keep lists of all the amazing clients we have had the opportunity of working with since we started. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Trust me that tracking wins is going to be powerful for your business! Also why note take it a step further and celebrate those wins 🍾⁠⠀

A few suggestions for implementing some positive habits on Social Media⁠⚡️
⁠⠀
I have to admit that these past few months I have been struggling with just how much time I spend on social media and often find myself needing to take short breaks from my own accounts. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
It can certainly become overwhelming for anyone (not just us as social media manager). The amount of content we are consuming daily on SM is crazy.

I now have all my notifications turned off. If I did have them on my phone would literally be going off every minute of the day so instead I make time to check each of the accounts we manage every few hours throughout the day rather than every time a notification comes through. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I try to take time away from my phone by leaving it in another room when I'm working so I can be more productive with the time I have at my computer. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I spend time reading and engaging with content that genuinely inspires me and avoid anything that I feel is a waste of my time and energy. ⁠⠀

Let me know if there is anything you would add to this list!

For those in NZ have a lovely long weekend & take a moment to enjoy some time away from social media 🤍

If I had a dollar for every time someone told me they want more followers on Instagram!! 😆⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Honestly this would by far be the most common thing I hear.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Unless you need to have 10,000 new clients every single month to make a profit and your only using Instagram as part of your marketing strategy then I can tell you in my opinion it doesn't matter how many followers you have. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Instead you should be looking at things like how many clients are you converting through social media and if you are reaching the right audience. Consider website traffic you are gaining from social media or the relationships you are building with customers and other businesses. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
While I do understand there is a certain amount of 'social proof' that comes along with having an established following, I really don't believe in 2020 a business success is in any way determined by the amount of followers they have. Followers don’t tell you if a business is profitable. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
So please stop focusing on the numbers and instead look at things like engagement, website traffic and conversions 🤍
