Photos are still in style. And no, videos have NOT taken away their value for your brand👇🏻

There’s a reason the age old expression “a picture speaks a thousand words” has stuck around this long, and we’re here to clarify once and for all, their time is not done yet! 📸

Photos are still as versatile as ever, and when it comes to your brand, there are tons of important ways you can use high quality branding images to boost your image:

✨ Social Media
✨ Website
✨ Email Marketing
✨ Advertisements
✨ Blog posts

Are just some of the useful places the right picture can hook your ideal client, communicate your desired message and convert interest into sales💲 so what do you say — ready to pose?💁🏼‍♀️

There’s no perfect recipe to getting your content all the attention it deserve… but there are some helpful strategies to get you there!

✨ Collaborate with others + build community
✨ Lean into graphics that POP and hook them in!
✨ Use the right hashtags & use them with intention
✨ Post at the right time - ask yourself what your ideal
clients days look like and when they’re most likely
to be active!
✨ Find what works + stay consistent

With a combination of these simple but monumental changes, your content is sure to be noticed by all the right people in all the right places🙌🏼🙌🏼

Feeling the Friday energy on another level today🥳🙌🏼 It might just be the first big wave of snow melting, but this new month feels like a clean slate and I am SO ready for it.

“Purpose fuels passion” is the motto going into this one, and we have to admit that once you find that thing that makes you tick, every day is exciting to wake up to🤍🤍

Happy Wednesday, friends!!☀️☀️

Today, I want to do a little refresh on BRAND PILLARS and what they actually are:

💡 Tying together your brand purpose and value, your brand pillars are the guiding principles of your brand and business. In other words, they’re the little, individual concepts and ideas that come together to (hopefully) build content that resonates with your audience AND your long term goals 🤝🏻

Some of our brand pillars at Mint include branding and marketing tips, client experiences, and our brand’s origin story and development!

Ok, be honest. Do you ever struggle with procrastination?! Cause we definitely do😬🙋🏼‍♀️

Recently, I found this quote that’s totally shifted my mindset on how I should be approaching my harder-to-manage tasks:

“I use more energy NOT doing it than I would use just doing it.”

And it’s SO true!! Oftentimes, once I finally get to the thing that’s been hovering over for me for weeks, I feel embarrassed realizing how easy it really was🤦🏼‍♀️ so as we head into the midweek, here’s a friendly reminder that just hunkering down and DOING it is the way to go🙌🏼

Hey, you!! It’s time we let you in on a little secret🤫

No matter how big, flashy and successful a business and its marketing might be - there have been times (and will be to come) when the people working to create that content feel like they’re in a creative rut!

And that means, if you’re feeling stuck in this season, you shouldn’t let it deter you from your goals - you’re closer to them than you think!🙌🏼💪🏼

Our all inclusive, hands on content planning toolkit is all you need to get back on track - plus these helpful tips to start 😉 click the link in our bio and visit our digital shop now to get started with us!! ✨✨

Clarity is key🔑 So let us be extra clear:

If the language and structure of your marketing is inaccessible and abstract, you lock away your potential for meaningful sales. That’s why writing a powerful mission statement is crucial to the success of your biz!!🙌🏼💲

Here’s what yours should answer:

✨ What you do & WHY!!
✨ Who you do it for & what solutions you offer
✨ What your message is
✨ The underlying values of your biz

…but that’s just scratching the surface!

For a clear-cut, straight to the point guide on communicating your value with strength and purpose, sign up for our self-paced marketing course at the link in bio!! 💪🏼💻

Let’s face it, hustle culture has a lot of allure.

Whether it’s all about stacking cash, being your own boss, or just making a name for yourself - most of us strive to be the best of the best! 🔝

And while this isn’t necessarily a bad thing, it’s easy to let this mindset distract you from a huge anchor to your progress: burnout.

So what do we do to combat burnout while still striving for our goals?

✔️Set boundaries
✔️Start Planning
✔️Stress Management
✔️Stay Healthy
✔️Treat Yourself

Your future self will thank you🙌🏼

Hey, friend! We have a question for you 👇🏻

Have you ever been scrolling online and come across a new business page that grabs your interest? The branding visuals are next level and your attention is hooked — but you can’t for the life of you figure out what the real value of it is!!🤨

That’s exactly how your ideal clients feel when your website is hard to navigate and talks them in circles about things they don’t understand!! And it’s costing you.

Here’s what needs to be clear:
✨Who are you?
✨What are you an expert in?
✨Who do you serve?
✨How can they benefit?
✨What should they do next?

04/12/2023

December is here!!❄️❄️
