24.01.2022 Client Love @lashandlashesco I love working with you! #barbarathompsonconsultant #clientlove #marketingdigital #marketing #marketingstrategy #marketingconsultant #designconsultant #creativeconsultant #marketingtips

24.01.2022 I am looking forward to begin working with Kara again this month since the restrictions have been lifted. Lets see what we can create in the second half of this year! @lavishbeautymobilespraytanning. Kara kindly sent me this review today. **CLIENT REVIEW from Founder & Owner of Lavish Beauty Kara Cullen. When I first started with Barbara I had 200 followers. In the short time working with her I am now with an organic following of 600. With an increase in clientele, bookings and profits. Not to mention my business social media pages look 1000 times more eye appealing. One happy business owner

24.01.2022 You have a wall in your office that is full of chips and cracks. You decide to paint over them for a makeover or a refresh. The thing is, with marketing it is no different.You need to build a solid foundation to be able to attract the right clients and grow your business. One of the things I feel is very important to a business is how you make people feel - by people I mean anyone you deal with in your business - your suppliers, clients, neighbours, staff and so on.... People remember for a very long time how you treat them and make them feel. The cracks will begin to show if you dont do the work on marketing your business. Dont take short cuts. They will cost you in the long run.

23.01.2022 MARKETING STRATEGY is the section of your business plan that outlines your overall game plan for finding clients and customers for your business. Marketing strategy focuses on what you want to achieve for your business and marketing efforts. Make sure you have one! #marketingstrategy #marketing #marketingplan #barbarathompsonconsultant #creativeconsultant #marketingconsultant #designconsultant

23.01.2022 I had an amazing workshop meeting with Kara Cullen this morning! As a marketing consultant I help business owners with a number of things. When you hear them speak so passionately about their dreams, it really drives me to give them the best. Its what my clients deserve.

23.01.2022 I feel this is THE hardest thing to do when it comes to marketing your business - designing your logo or going through a rebrand. Over the 20 years I have been in marketing I have been lucky enough to go through this process many, many times. It's a process.....I share this with my clients, almost on a daily basis. I need to repeat it a few times too. No matter how open minded and laid back you think you are, this process will do your head in....especially If you don't have t...he right designer or marketing specialist to walk you through this process. Be prepared to have at least 4-5 versions and alterations of your logo before it is something you are beginning to be happy with. Sometimes it can be easily up to 8 or 9 versions. The more feedback and information you can give your creatives the better. The reason why it takes so long is that the initial information you give your creative is what they have interpreted and it is never what you think it is. It's okay to not like the first few drafts of the logo - even for my own businesses it took at least 4-5 versions before I could see what I wanted. Try and give your designer a bit of freedom and space with the design process. Keep an open mind. Sleep on it. Some of the best logos and rebrands I have worked on have come from when initially I haven't liked anything. Then after a couple of small amends and/or alterations it becomes more than you ever wanted. This is where the beauty of design and marketing come together but you do need to follow this process and be prepared to be patient. Your branding and logo is the foundation for your business, it is very important it is done correctly. It will also save you alot of time and money in the long run AND bring you more business. Be brave, have some fun with it and get out of your own way.

22.01.2022 OH HEY! If your business is closed at the moment it is more important than ever to keep connected. Whether they are your existing or possible future clients, people want to hear from you.

19.01.2022 I genuinely love what I do and I love helping businesses owners! When you wake up to one of the nicest comments ever! Its going to be a great day!

19.01.2022 Thank YOU! For your love and support. THANKS to my existing clients. THANKS to my new clients who have recently jumped on board. I have a number of exciting projects I am working on over the next few months. ... I am so grateful you chose me to help you build a marketing foundation for your business.

18.01.2022 SOCIAL MEDIA We all seem to want to do the right thing when it comes to posting on our business social media pages. The thing is, there is no right way. You get to do it your way. Once you know this I find you tend to relax with your socials and have a bit of fun with it too, which surprisingly brings more engagement and more business. ... If you struggle to post most days - start posting about you. Why did you start the business, what are your interests, what are the frequent questions you get asked about your business. Dont be afraid to show who the person is behind your business. Your clients and prospective clients all are wanting connection. If you are still struggling with your posts, I have Instagram workshops starting from $95 a week. Email me for more details: [email protected]

18.01.2022 Growing a business through successful branding. Over the last two years I have had the absolute pleasure of working with the owner of this business. I have big plans for her and we have only touched the surface of what her business is going to be in the very near future. She has been successful because she is open to change, she understands the process and I think has learnt a lot about marketing along the way. The thing is, when I work with my clients I like to build a long ...term relationship and I like to show my clients the hows and whys of what I do. You may need to rebrand your business because: 1. Your business has expanded beyond its original vision 2. The brand has evolved and needs to be repositioned in the market 3. Your brand risks becoming irrelevant and outdated in the changing marketplace 4. You would like to refocus your business on particular products and services. More changes and exciting things coming to this business.

18.01.2022 Creating a brand strategy for your business will help bring clarity to what you do, why you do it, your audience and how you can help them. It can also help you to decide on the type of visuals that will work best for your brand to connect with your audience. Every successful brand strategy takes three things into consideration: - You & Your Business - Your Customers ... - Your Competitors When you are clear on these things it will do so much more than just help you adhere to a cohesive brand. As a business owner it can take alot of the scattered ideas/thoughts and confusion away. You will have a clear direction of where your business is going. This is one of the core foundations of marketing I like to set for my clients. It is important to have a solid foundation to work from. For help with your brand strategy or marketing please send an email to [email protected] or comment below and we will be in touch.

16.01.2022 We will remember them.

15.01.2022 Social Media is one of the great tools you can use to market your business. Many business owners struggle with what to post. At times all it seems to do is give most of us anxiety and a feeling of going round and round in circles, going no where. You then find you begin to avoid posting. The thing is, social media becomes successful for your business when your audience/target market connects with you. To build that connection they need to see you, get to know you and build trust. This all happens when you have a strategy and plan in place that comes from your core brand and key messages with the particular campaign, special or message you are wanting to promote at that time. The trick is consistency - have the same message and create it on your socials over and over again and you will begin to see your followers interact with you.

15.01.2022 WHEN YOU KNOW YOU KNOW Check out Mint Design Collectives blog about my brand. Almost a year later I am still very much in love with my brand. Every time I see it, it makes me proud of the business I have created. If you ever need any assistance with your branding or website please contact Cat. She is amazing at what she does.

14.01.2022 Do you have a marketing plan? I know it sounds simple. Alot of business owners chop and change looking for the next best thing. Do you have a marketing blueprint/a plan of what you would like to do with your business and where you want to take it? If you have one, all aspects of your marketing should reflect this and be taking you in the right direction, otherwise you will be forever spending unnecessary time, money, stress, worry and taking you away from why you started your... business in the first place. Have a plan. Define your plan. Stick to your plan. See the results. It is that simple.

13.01.2022 Hi Guys & Gals! With recent events alot has changed. - You may now be working from home - You may be unemployed... - You may have a business you want to refresh and put more effort into now you have the time to do so - Or this time has shown you now more than ever, that you want to work for yourself and start your own business. It is important to all my clients and the people in my community that I lead you down the correct path, not down the garden path. The information out there at the moment can be a little overwhelming. I can help! My very good friend and designer Cat from Mint Design Collective is about to launch something I think will be super useful for you to sign up to or know about at the very least. It is her NEW Brand your Biz course. This is where you have all the power, you can design or refresh your current brand and learn so much more along the way. To sign up for this branding course and for more info check out : www.brandyourbiz.mintdc.com.au. I hope you are all well and staying safe.

10.01.2022 When I was looking for someone to help me with my business as youd expect I was very particular. I spoke to many others & Barbaras stood out because of her passion, enthusiasm & genuine effort in going above and beyond to understand my business & to help make all my ideas come to life. She really listened & then did her magic in bringing to life, all of the things that were nothing but an idea. My social media presence has never been so polished. Im very proud of the w...ay my business is presented on all social media streams & its all thanks to Barbara. I am so grateful I have her on my team.
