Planning holiday content? 🎃🦃🎄 Start now—and start smart.

Big box brands already have their full holiday strategy locked in (and paid for). From Halloween to Christmas, they’re stacking ads and flooding feeds with shiny promos.

But here’s the thing:
Your superpower as a small business?
💡 Real connection. Local love. And content that actually feels personal.

✨ A few tips to help you show up and shine through the noise:

📅 Start planning now—yes, even for Christmas.
🎃 Use each holiday as a way to tell your story, not just push sales.
🦃 Lean into gratitude and connection in November.
🎄 Showcase gift ideas, bundles, and behind-the-scenes prep early.
💌 Use social, email, and text together—it’s not all about the feed.

Your people want to hear from you.
Not perfectly polished ads—they want real moments, real value, and reasons to support small.

📩 DM me HOLIDAY PLAN if you want help creating a strategy that carries you through the entire season—without burning out.

Pro tip: Batch your content today so the rest of your week feels lighter.
A little planning now = way less stress later.

⚙️ Strategy, consistency, and real connection—that’s what turns a silent feed into a thriving brand.

This client didn’t need more noise. They needed direction.
We rebuilt their online presence with intention—because showing up on social media should lead to more sales, stronger relationships, and real growth.

📈 Every piece of content had a purpose.
📲 Every interaction was a chance to reconnect.
🌊 And every month we saw momentum build.

If your socials are feeling a little… abandoned? You don’t need another template.
You need a strategist.

✨ Let’s talk about what your results could look like.

The holidays are closer than they feel—and before your feed gets drowned out by big-box ads with endless budgets, now is the time to spread the love for small businesses 🌊💙

But here’s the real talk:

If you own a small business, the time to start planning your holiday sales is actually NOW. 🎁

Big-box companies started their planning back in July… don’t wait until December to try to catch up.

A little prep (and a lot of community support) can make this your best season yet. 💫

It’s National Dog Day and you know I couldn’t let it pass without bragging on my favorite coworker—Atlas. 🐶💻

He keeps me company during long content planning days, reminds me to step away from the screen for fresh air (aka walk breaks), and makes sure every client call ends with a tail wag in the background. Honestly, he’s the best kind of office assistant—always loyal, always happy, and never complains about too many emails. 🌊🐾

Tell me—does your furry friend make your workday better too? 💙

Trends fade, authenticity lasts. Quick likes are fun, but real connection comes from your story, your voice, your brand.

A while ago, someone reached out to me about social media management. They worked in marketing themselves, so I knew this conversation could get interesting.🧐

We chatted about their goals, I learned about their brand, and I put together a detailed proposal that included strategy, content creation, engagement, and everything needed to actually grow their online presence.

Then I got the reply:
“I could pay someone on Fiverr a lot less.”

And you know what? They’re right. You can pay someone a lot less on Fiverr. You can even hire overseas for $5 an hour. But here’s the thing… should you?

The truth is, cheap social media management often comes with a cost you don’t see upfront — cookie-cutter posts, no real strategy, zero connection with your audience, and a “set it and forget it” approach that doesn’t move the needle for your business.

When you work with me, you’re not getting copy-paste content. You’re getting:

✨ Strategy rooted in your goals and audience
✨ On-brand, original content created just for you
✨ A partner who actually cares about your results and treats your business like their own

You get what you pay for — and with me, you’re paying for experience, strategy, creativity, and the peace of mind that your brand is in good hands.

Fiverr can give you posts.
I give you impact.

True or False? Business should be on every social media platform. 🤨

The answer is false. 🚫
Here’s why 👇

A friend once told me about a time they got invited to speak at an event. They prepped for days, walked into the room, and gave their best 20-minute talk… only to realize the entire audience was there for a completely different topic. Their message landed flat, not because it wasn’t good—but because it wasn’t for those people.

That’s what happens when you try to be on every social platform. You’re standing on stages where your audience isn’t even in the room.

The truth? You don’t need to be everywhere. You need to be where your people are. When you focus on the platforms where your target audience actually lives, your message reaches the right ears, and your efforts pay off.

Your time is valuable—make sure you’re spending it in the right rooms.
