🎢 August has been a rollercoaster month! Full of ups, downs, and plenty of lessons learnt along the way!

Here’s a little honesty from behind the scenes of running a business and being a mom. 💬

💬 Clients change like SEASONS
Some months are smooth sailing. Others, one client signs on and another leaves, within minutes, all in the same day. That’s small business life..

💬 Some weeks are calm, others are CHAOTIC
The past two weeks? Pure chaos. Chalk and cheese compared to quieter ones.

💬 Family time > Stress
That mom guilt hits differently when you can’t play cars on the floor because an urgent email needs your attention. When you can hardly read clearly because you've been feeling like you've solo parented for the whole of July. Balance isn’t always easy..

💬 Burnout is REAL
Solo parenting + work = I bit off more than I could chew this month (and last).
Lesson learnt.

💬 Quiet months happen, but new doors open
Every cancellation has been followed by new opportunities. Faith keeps me moving forward.

💬 Peace of mind > Money
Financial security matters, but not at the cost of happiness or one's health.

💬 Honesty matters
I don’t like feeling like I'm letting clients or my family down, but being human means owning up when I’ve taken on too much and can't work to my full standards.

💬 Growth comes with a price
Growth means more work, more responsibility, less family time, and sometimes late nights, it also means progress.

✨ This season taught me so much about myself! As a mom, wife, and business owner!

Sharing this because I know I can't be the only one feeling these feels.. what was relatable to you?

So ready for the new month, September, with new boundaries in place, changes to come and space for growth.

Who should be using email marketing anyway? 👀
Short answer: almost every small business! 🫶

If you’re a:

✨ Maker or product-based business (selling anything from candles to ceramics, even online gift cards).
✨ Accommodation offers - Guesthouses, self-catering accommodation, campingsite, or AirBnB host.
✨ Creative service provider (think photographers, designers, copywriters).
✨ Freelancers ( admin, VA, Marketers, you name it).
✨ Educators (if you offer online courses, play-based learning, parenting advice).
✨ Wellness pros (coaches, therapists, yoga instructors).
✨ Local shops, cafés, or if you are an event organiser.

Why email marketing still matters 📧

Think it's outdated to email? Emails are dead? Think again!

✨ Email marketing is one of the most powerful tools a small business can have!

Here’s why:

✔️ You own your audience
Unlike social media platforms that can change algorithms (or vanish altogether), your email list is yours. No one can take it away from you!

✔️ It lands directly in their inbox
No fighting the algorithm. Your message gets seen by the people who’ve actually said, “Yes, I want to hear from you!” They are interested and will read it!

✔️ It builds real relationships
Weekly check-ins. Monthly updates. VIP-only specials. You decide! Email lets you speak directly to your audience and chosen people and not in some salesy way but in your voice.

✔️ It converts
Whether it’s bookings, product sales, or feedback, email gets results (and often outperforms socials) as it is direct communication.

Need help creating email campaigns / newsletters that your audience wants to open? Don't have Mailchimp for your business?

Salesy vs Organic Marketing.. Here's the dfference in a nutshell.

Salesy sounds like:
❌ “BUY NOW!”
❌ “LIMITED TIME ONLY!”
❌ “We’re the best, trust us!”

It’s loud. It’s pushy! It often feels forced..

Organic sounds like:
✅ “Here’s how we started...”
✅ “We get it — we’ve been there too.”
✅ “This might be just what you’ve been looking for.”

It connects. It invites. It’s human. Personal.
It builds trust. 🫶

At The Creative, we craft content that feels like a conversation, not a cold call.
It’s original. Thoughtful. Tailored to your audience.

Because the best marketing doesn’t shout.
It resonates.

Love a client check-in and meet up! 😁

The perfect start to a Friday 🫶

A happy Monday indeed 😊🫶

Thank you for the lovely review, Esmari.

I am honestly so blessed with the clients that I meet along the way in my business. Each and every one of them is unique and has different marketing needs.

I managed Esmari's social media - both her Facebook and Instagram accounts, did copywriting and content creation, as well as wrote a blog post once a month for her.

What a lovely way to end June, and a great way to start July ✨️🥳

❤️
