Welcome back to our 'one small thing' series, where we share one small thing to help you, your business, or your client's business!

We know it's August, but the big man 🎅🏻 will be here before we know.

And this is the perfect time to start getting organised (don't panic, we don't mean start the Christmas shopping)

It's time to start encouraging your clients to prepare for the festive season!

Here's not one but two small things you can do this week to get them prepared:

👉🏻 Check they've got a pixel installed on their website, along with all the event codes. So they can retarget their visitors with ads during the peak sales period. If they leave this until the last minute, they'll miss out on all sorts of valuable data.

👉🏻 Remind them to start thinking about the offers and promotions they might be running between now and January. Think Halloween, BFCM, last postage dates, etc. And get them mapped out in your diary in advance.

We promise you, just doing these 2 teeny things will make a big difference to you in the months ahead!

Welcome back to our 'one small thing' series, where we share one small thing to help you, your business, or your client's business! Let’s be honest: most people aren’t properly reading your social media posts. At best, they’re scanning. And when they do read them, they’re processing your copy at the level of a 9-year-old. 😳 So, as a social media manager (or ads manager) simplifying your copy matters is really important because: 1️⃣ Confused people don’t convertIf your message isn’t instantly...

Ever buy something expecting it to be a bit “meh”… but end up completely obsessed? That’s exactly what happened when I told Laura D we should try the Email Remix Wizard (created by our pals Justin & Sarah at Wake Up To Freedom).
