Social Media Checklist

SOCIALMEDIACHECKLISTSocial media is one of the best tools in my opinion for most businesses, especially small startups and blogs. It allows for you to interact with your followers, creates a bond between you and your customer and adds personality to the brand.

However, just like all good things in life, social media can work to your disadvantage. Luckily we are able to avoid that with a few tips, some patience and attention to detail. If you are a small business looking to take your social media by the kahunas, be sure to check these important things off your list. Let’s begin!

Did you: Proof read, spell check and proof read again?
You have no idea how unprofessional and just downright awful it is to see businesses use poor grammar and have a ton of spelling errors in their posts. You are a business that is probably selling a product, providing a service or trying to drive traffic to your site. The least you can do is ensure that your message is clear and not something your customer has to decode. I’ll admit- I am not the best when it comes to spelling or grammar but I can say that I know the difference between “their, there and they’re”. Not certain? Use Microsoft word, Google or get someone to proof read your post. You have tools at your disposal, use it. It may seem time consuming but this is your brand- you’re supposed to invest time into it.

Did you: Post with meaning?
I’ve been seeing a lot of social media accounts that post just for the “sake of posting”. Remember the good ol’ cliché “quality vs quantity?” Make sure you are posting something that is relative to your brand or something you support. Ask yourself “what do I want my followers to get out of this post?”

The core component Sildenafil Citrate helps in inhibition of the PDE5 http://downtownsault.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/04-12-17-DDA-MINUTES.pdf buy cialis enzyme. buy online viagra These problems happen when the bladder is small and overly active (spastic). Shockingly, buy cialis generic numerous children never get the help they require. Its name is “world viagra cialis generic kenpo karate association”. InteractDid you: Interact with your followers?
It’s easier for businesses that have a social media specialist on their team that is solely dedicated to being the face of that company online. It can get tough when you are a smaller team or a one man show trying to manage it all, but make time. Set aside at least 30 – 60 minutes per day responding to followers and interacting with them on social media. Respond to those questions, thank them for positive feed and embrace constructive criticism.

Did you: Jot down the negative responses?
Listen to your customer. If you for example are selling a cream and you’ve received a ton of negative feedback about the packaging, take that into consideration, don’t delete or ignore. Take the negative and turn it into a positive. Pose the question, what can we do to change the packaging and go from there. Not only does this show that you are listening to what your customers are saying but it also makes them feel a part of the process. They are after all purchasing the product- we need them to be happy and repurchase!

Did you: Act like yourself?
You want your brand to have a personality that has a human feel to it, this helps people relate to the brand. I remember once I followed a beauty bar on social media and finally decided to go check them out. The beauty bar posted beautiful intriguing photos online but they lacked personality in their text. It was usually a bunch of hashtags or small sentences that didn’t really “pull you in”. When I went to the beauty bar in person, the staff were beyond friendly and I got a great vibe from them. I told them that they should really showcase their personality on social media because they would get a great response from their followers. A few weeks later, the owner took it upon herself to manage the social media accounts and the likes went from just a couple of hundred to thousands. The key is to make sure it reflects you as a brand. Be unique, original and true to who you are.

We Love Copper

Within the last year and a bit, I’ve been leaning towards industrial metal chic pieces- who hasn’t? I remember when I was a wee little girl and seeing my mom use copper sauce pans to warm up milk for hot chocolates or use copper tins as planters to set on the window ledge. I always thought they were beautiful and it may due to my obsession with rose gold. If you really think about it, copper and rose gold look like sisters.

I think we’ve all been enjoying the fuss over metals and it’s true rustic form. Something about it makes a home feel real and less cookie cutter. It adds personality and a strong one at that. Today I share some of my favourite chic copper pieces that I think any home can benefit from.

NYX Lip Cream / Gloss Review

NYX_GLOSS_REVIEWI think it is safe to say that Aggie has officially earned herself the title as “Queen of Makeup Giving”. For Christmas she recently gifted me a bunch of NYX lip glosses among other fabulous items and I thought they would be some great products to review.

I’ve been a fan of NYX lip creams and glosses and since they recently opened their first free standing store in Mississauga- we now have the opportunity to get our hands on more NYX goodies- woohoo!

NYX_GLOSS_SWATCHESMilan is the only product that has a matte finish as it is the only product that is a lip cream, the rest are intense lip glosses which have an obvious gloss finish.

IMG_8103

Milan_lipcreamFirst on our list is the gorgeous Milan lip cream. It is such a soft subtle pink. I love the finish and formula. They are not dry or sticky. The formula and texture in my opinion are just perfect as they are extremely moisturizing for a matte lip cream. It is more pink than brown compared to what it looks like on the tube.

FunnelDelightA gorgeous vibrant pink, the intense butter gloss in funnel delight is truly what it’s name claims to be- intense and a delight. These glosses are really a two in one. The colour pay off is beyond any gloss I have ever worn and there is absolutely no need for additional gloss. I foresee this being one of my favourite summer glosses 😉

Toasted MarshmallowIn love with this GORGEOUS colour, toasted marshmallow. It will work well with almost all skin tones and is a great fall/winter and night time colour. Again, product is moisturizing, pigmented and isn’t sticky (a huge PLUS for us). The only downside is that I find it bleeds a bit.

BlackCherryTartIt look a lot for us to get the colour to look the way it does in this photo. As you can tell, it almost looks like a glossy mess on my lips. Upon first and even second application- it looks streaky. You need to apply multiple coats in order to get the full intense colour. I love vampy looks so I will be reaching for this in the future- it just won’t be my first pick. I love the colour though and next time I’ll also use a lip liner as this bleeds. Perhaps that will help the application in the future.

So ladies, that’s our mini review on our new NYX Gloss / Lip Cream reviews. Are you ladies fans of NYX products? Any suggestions you can make? Have you tried any of these four? Thoughts? We’d love to hear from you.

Stay chic meninas, xo

The Exchange : Girl’s Night

TheExchange_GirlsNIght
As I’ve mentioned time and time again, I love hosting gatherings. At the top of my list would have to be “girl’s nights”. Being an adult, I find that we are all so busy with our day to day lives. Being moms, wives, girlfriends, being career gals, managing a business, a home, you name it, there are all kinds of responsibilities that take up our time.

Girl’s night to my group of friends means great company, delicious food, more food and some drinks to wash it all down. If we find ourselves getting together during the holiday season, we’ll throw in a craft to release some of our inner Martha.

This year I was trying to come up with ideas to spice up girl’s night. Not that we need much of it but it’s nice to have a change. I then started focusing on a topic that a group of us were chatting about. “Getting tired of our closets. Running out of styling options with the same shirt. Body types changing. Not wanting to go shopping.” It then hit me, why not create a “The Exchange Girl’s Night”. It would be a way to get your hands on “new pieces” without having to spend any money.

How It Works:

Send a digital invitation to our girlfriend’s with a location, time and date. Figure out who will bring what and the tone of the evening. Then outline the rules for “The Exchange”

1. Have you and your guests bring 1-5 (max) gently used clothing pieces, accessories or shoes that you are ready to part with
If your disk is severely scratched, then it will certainly not be read cheap brand levitra by the system. Hormones, enzymes, antibodies, and antioxidants all depend on female viagra 100mg it. What was he thinking? Hopefully he buy viagra uk learned his lesson after the embarrassment of having his stomach pumped by that sweet nurse. Nowadays, we do not have medications, which order levitra increase the pancreatic function, just pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy. 2. Purchase tags and write “size, brand or store, kindly given with love by…”
3. Ensure you have a clothing rack or a place that you can hang and display items for people to easily browse through
4. A week prior to, find out who is bringing what
5. Ensure there is something for everyone. Not everyone wears the same dress size, so confirm if anyone is bringing some great jewellery pieces, hats or shoes
6. If you bring an item to the Exchange and someone takes it, it is no longer yours but is now in the hands of a new owner
7. The number of items you bring are the number of items you can take home. Example: Jane brings 1 necklace, 1 dress and 1 pair of flats for a total of 3 items, she can take home ANY 3 items.
8. Have craft bags or recycled gift bags ready for the ladies to use to take their items home
9. Someone didn’t buy someone’s item? Ask them if you can donate it or they can take it home and bring it back for the next Exchange night!
10. Have the rules displayed at the event or explain to the ladies once again how the exchange works

Most of all, have fun. The purpose of this is to get your hands on something fabulous that your friend owns but no longer wants. It’s a great way to reuse great pieces and SHARE among friends.
