Magnolia Black Digital Marketing

If you’re waiting until November to plan your holiday content… you’re already behind.

I say this with love - and with the data to back it up. Q4 is where so many businesses make or miss their momentum, and the brands that show up early are the ones that stay top-of-mind when buying season hits.

Think of it like this:
Your audience is about to be bombarded with promos, gift guides, countdowns, and sales. If your content isn’t planned, branded, and baked into the calendar now… it’s going to get buried.

Here are a few key dates you need to map out now:

* Halloween – Oct 31
* Thanksgiving Weekend – Nov 28–Dec 2 (Black Friday, Small Biz Saturday, Cyber Monday, Giving Tuesday)
* 12 Days of Christmas – Dec 13–24
* New Year’s Eve & Day – Dec 31–Jan 1

And let’s not forget:
* Shipping cutoffs
* Booking deadlines
* Gift card pushes
* Year-end recaps
* "New Year, New You" service launches

Whether you’re a service provider, local shop, or ecommerce brand - now is the time to outline your offers, prep your visuals, and start showing up consistently.

Want help mapping it out or need a campaign brainstorming sesh? That’s what we do over here at The Magnolia Black. Let’s build your season with strategy and soul.

Excited to see this develop!

Two Yale University juniors, Nathaneo Johnson and Sean Hargrow, have raised $3.1 million in just 14 days to launch Series, an AI-powered social network designed to create warm, double opt-in introductions based on mutual value.⁠
⁠
Unlike traditional social platforms that thrive on vanity metrics, Series focuses on facilitating real, purpose-driven connections — starting with college campuses. ⁠
⁠
The founders are positioning Series as a powerful new alternative to the Facebook playbook.⁠

I have admittedly only just started playing with image creation with AI, so this trend felt right on time for me.

I also opened Insta today and the first video I saw was saying this trend is over so don't look, okay! 😅

Anyway, this was the beginning of creative prompts and I'm excited to dive into more- there really is no limit to creativity in this world.

There are a million versions of the prompt out there but if you'd like mine shoot me a DM!

This year saw The Magnolia Collectives second annual Vision Board Workshop. Our theme was Blueprint Your Brilliance and the female founders that gathered that day did just that.

A few years ago if you'd have asked me what I thought about Vision Boards I may have rolled my eyes but after experiencing the real impact the process has on building the foundation of your success for the year, i'm a believer.

The Magnolia Collective has tailored this workshop to founders and entrepreneurs to go beyond the cutting and pasting to making real actionable plans from budgeting to professional development and self care (an often overlooked piece of the puzzle). Our workbook breaks the process down into several modules that forces you to reflect on the year behind us and deep dive into your plan for the year ahead.

We've recently been offered an opportunity to bring the process to the corporate world and once again tailor it to the specific needs of women in leadership roles within their organization. We're excited to see this new initiative take flight.

If you're interested in hosting a Vision Board workshop, let's chat!

We all want to make a positive impact in the world and two of my friends have launched an initiative that is doing just that.

If you know me, you know I am the worlds biggest hype girl for my fellow female entrepreneurs and founders and I’m thrilled to help spread the word about The Positive Impact Project.

These two women have built a network of industry experts who are coming together to share invaluable information that you’ll not only love, but can change your life.

Not only that, but a percentage of their proceeds go towards various charities like:

Scholarships to high school students in USA
* Sanitary Pads to girls in Tanzania
* Water wells in Malawi
* * Family Planning Sessions in America

If you’re like me you’ve spent countless dollars on digital courses that you may or may not complete but this bundle has everything from makeup tips, to public speaking, to unleashing your confidence and it’s only $67-plus 20% off if you use my lil ol code HEATHER9567

I don’t often collaborate with brands but this project is truly special and I can’t wait to see what these ladies do to make their Positive Impact.

Hey! Did you know that I co-founded a Female Founder's Collective here in the Atlanta area?

Did you also know that we're holding a Vision Board workshop next week?!

Yes, there will be cutting and pasting and stretching your creative legs BUT there will also be goal making and plan creating and a whole structured workshop designed to help you KICK 2024's Ass (respectfully).

We know how easy it is to jump through the gates of a new year with all the motivation and no real plan and then watch as it... fizzles.. so let's do something different this year, okay?

Registration is required but we're holding it at the INCREDIBLE in Canton so you don't want to miss the chance to sneak peek her space!

Dm me with any questions and I'll see you there!

What. A. Year.

And it's not over yet. BUT the theme of this year for me, and many of the small business owners I've spoken to, has been BOUNDARIES. I'm not sure why we all seem to be on the same page at the same time but here we are: setting them.

While, boundaries are important in all aspects of life, I think it may be a lesson we all learn as small business owners, pretty quickly. Or maybe not quickly enough.

So, heading into 2024, we are setting them, writing them into our contracts, putting them on our websites, making them OFFICIAL.

What are your top boundaries in your business?
