Memorable Messaging In an ideal world, we want people to tell others about our businesses, but for that to happen, they need to be clear on what it is you do.

The more consistent your messaging is, the more likely someone who...

Mistakes fuel mastery Like I shared in this week's podcast, truly wasted time is when you keep doing the thing, even when you know it isn't necessary. Hi Reader, We’ve all been there. Putting a lot of effort (and time) into a marketing campaign, only to see that it doesn’t get the traction you hoped for. When things don’t work out, it’s natural to feel frustrated or even critical of yourself. But here’s the thing: Marketing mistakes don’t define you. They’re an opportunity to learn, grow, and...

Go your own way Hi Reader Since Honey Pot Digital was just the spark of an idea, my mission was to help small business owners better understand and take action in their marketing. The idea was sparked when I saw a client I was working with get swindled by their ad agency. Specifically, they got a photo done for a campaign they were doing with the business I worked for. The photo was curated to their brand, kinda, but it was missing one key element. The PRODUCT. Not only did they charge them,...

Does that new idea fit into your plan? Hi Reader, One of the things I touched on in this week’s podcast episode was “What does YOUR marketing need?” Sometimes, you can’t be so confident about what is right for you, and your target audience. Maybe you chose your focus for the year, and made a whole list of tasks to work on, but things will inevitably come up through the year as ideas or options. In any brand, there is the grey area, the unexplored territory. You don’t yet know how much time...

Focus for the year Hi Reader, Unless you have some big team, or a really big budget, you’ll be pretty limited on the things you can achieve this year in your marketing. I’m sure you’re not short on ideas though so that’s where the focus comes in. It’s how you decide what is and isn’t even on the radar, and what to prioritise when you only have time for half your to do list. The thing you choose might be the one you enjoy most, or the one that you believe will have the biggest impact. It might...

Perception is reality The stories around our businesses dictate how we speak about them, and in turn how others both relate to them and tell new people. You get to write part of that story... Hi Reader, Combining what you offer, who you offer it to, why, how and the journey along the way is one story. That’s the story of how you and your business got to where you are now, and what you hope to achieve in the future. In sharing that story, it allows people to better understand the brand and how...

Before the holiday hustle starts We've reached the time of year where I sometimes forget what month it is... Hi Reader, We want to enjoy the holidays, but they’re often a busy time for work. With marketing especially, we can tend to be planning so far ahead that we don’t remain present. Reduce that stress and pressure by spending a small amount of time in preparation. Me internally when I'm unprepared For product business Double check your checkout process. Place a fake order if possible,...
