How many of your customers have mothers?

Posted in Really good ideas, Shopkeeping talk, tagged , , , , on May 4, 2018| Leave a Comment »

How many of your customers have mothers? Are mothers? Have people on their lives who are like mothers to them?

Changes are, 100%.

But heck, even if your stats are, say, only 86% have/are/love mothers….

that’s a whole lotta folks needing Mother’s Day Gifts Inspirations.

Attention span of a goldfish

Think about our attention span now, 5 years in!

You know what they say about people, now that they spend so much time on the internet:

they have the attention span of a goldfish.

People are easily bored. Even when they want something, they only want it if it’s readily available and completely obvious.

Repurpose the Proven

Posted in Really good ideas, Shopkeeping talk, tagged , , , , on April 2, 2018| 2 Comments »

Do you consider the work you do on social media to be

One and Done?

Nonsense. That Facebook post that got such great results, that Instagram that so perfectly represents your shop, even that photograph of your shop front that you altered in a graphics program; these are all

worthy of a replay.

Just as we make a business of reusing, repurposing, reimagining previously-enjoyed material things, we can

recycle the most effective of our outreach efforts.

If you like, create a special day to showcase past greats… like I do here on my blog with Deja Vuesdays.

That’s what I wanted to show you. That just like in real life, you get caught up in listening and watching, and the everyday goofs we all make, are not the things you particularly see or hear.

Perhaps me, making a silly fool of myself, will inspire YOU to try a live video or two. I hope so!
