Big News! Last night, Support Local Rockhampton was named the *Best New Business* at the Capricorn Best in Business Awards... woohoo! 🥳

Plus... Shannon's Social Media was named as a finalist in the *Best Small Business* category too! 🎉

I'm obviously very excited to have BOTH my businesses nominated as finalists in their categories, and stoked to be a winner.

The awards were held at the *all new* Keppel Bay Sailing Club and everything was so nicely put together. It was fantastic to catch up many local business owners in our region, as well as meet new ones through this event. And a special shout-out to my friend Anthea (pictured), who is always up for attending events, and as it turns out, she knows even more people than I do! 🤣

Thanks to everyone for supporting my businesses over the last 4 years - clients, members, followers, family and friends... Here's to many more years to come!

Check your emails people! I've heard from some local business owners that they have TODAY received email confirmation that their application is through to the next round with SmartyGrants for the $7,500 business grants.

Dis you?

You'll need a details and comprehensive quote to submit with the next stage of your application. So if you'd like to consider using some of, or all of, the $7,500 grant on done-for-you Social Media Management and Content Creation, please GET IN TOUCH ASAP!

We'll chat first and then I'll put the proposal together for anywhere from 3-months to up to 6-months of Social Media Marketing for your business. This includes monthly content shoots at your workplace to capture photo and video which I'll then turn into *amazing* social media content to market your business. Plus I'll roll out my signature multi-platform marketing strategy so that your ideal clients and customers can find you EVERYWHERE online!

Send a DM now and let me know if you are through to the next round! We don't have long to get this submitted - it's due by 6th December and it is such a BUSY time of year.

Imagine this: It's nearly Christmas Eve, your store is buzzing, and you're not glued to your phone trying to respond to Facebook messages or come up with last-minute posts to wish your customers a Merry Christmas and let them know you are closing soon for the holidays. How great does that sound? With our Christmas Social Media Prep Party, that's not just a dream - it's easy!

We've all been there, right? You plan to post something amazing on social media and start getting ready as we edge closer to Chrismtas, but then the days get away from you. Suddenly, it's 11pm and you're posting a blurry photo of your Christmas Tree and a brief caption before you forget. Not ideal! But don't worry, I've got your back. This free online group training will transform how you manage your social media during the busiest time of year.

Why juggle everything when you can have a plan in place? Let me help you make simple updates and optimisations so your customers know exactly where to find you, what goodies you've got for them, and when they can pop in. You'll attract more customers and drive more sales while freeing up precious time. More sales and more time off? Yes, please!

So, are you ready to take the stress out of your holiday season? Join us at the Christmas Social Media Prep Party - taking place all through November and December by email and in a Facebook Group. Jump in any time and make updates when you can!

Let's make this festive period as merry - and profitable - as possible, and sleighhhh our social media together!

🎄 Register now - it's FREEEE. Click the link in bio, or DM/comment the word "XMAS" and I'll send you the link.
