“You don’t need more hours in the day. You need fewer things on your to-do list.”

When you run a business, there’s ALWAYS something else that needs doing. Emails, clients, quotes, admin, accounts… and somewhere in amongst it all, you’re supposed to find time to market your business too!

But you don’t have to do everything yourself.

Handing over some of those time-consuming tasks can give you more time to focus on your clients, grow your business - or simply finish work at a reasonable hour!

So this Monday, take a look at your to-do list and ask yourself:

What could someone else take off my plate?

And if marketing is one of them… you know where I am! 😊

What can the Eiffel Tower teach us about marketing?🗼

I have just got back from a lovely few days in Paris with the family, and of course, no trip would be complete without a visit to the Eiffel Tower!

Standing underneath it (and looking out from it!) got me thinking…

The Eiffel Tower certainly doesn’t struggle to get noticed.

And that’s exactly what good marketing should do for your business.

You can be absolutely brilliant at what you do, but if people don’t know you’re there, don’t understand what you offer or simply forget about you… it’s much harder to grow.

You don’t necessarily need to be as visible as a 330-metre tower in the middle of Paris - but you DO need to keep showing up.

Regular social media, useful content, emails, networking and simply reminding people who you are and how you can help all build that visibility over time.

Because when someone finally needs what you offer, you want your business to be the one that springs to mind.

After a brilliant few days exploring Paris, it’s now back to reality, back to the laptop… and back to helping businesses get noticed.

(I'm quite pleased of the arty shot I took too!) 😁

🇫🇷 Back from Paris… and I think my legs need another holiday! 😂

I’ve just got back from a lovely few days in Paris with the family, taking in all the usual highlights - going up the Eiffel Tower, visiting the Arc de Triomphe, Sacré-Cœur, Notre-Dame and plenty more.

I hadn’t been to Paris since I was 10 on a school trip - over 40 years ago – and one thing I definitely didn’t remember was quite HOW MUCH WALKING is involved!

Of course, travelling with teenagers also meant fitting in some of the essential ‘Instagram spots’ along the way. 📸

So, as well as the famous landmarks, there were photos to be taken outside various pretty Parisian cafés, underneath impressive shopping centre ceilings and, of course, a visit to the Jellycat Patisserie! Apparently these are just as important as the Eiffel Tower when you’re a teenager… 😂

We also ventured around 20 metres underneath the streets of Paris to visit the Catacombs.

It was actually much less spooky than I expected, but such an incredible piece of history. It felt very strange walking through the tunnels knowing we were surrounded by the remains of more than six million people. Definitely one of those experiences you don’t forget in a hurry!

After a brilliant few days away, it’s back to reality and back to work today.

The beginning of the month is always my busiest time, so there’s plenty to catch up on after being away.

I think my laptop will be getting plenty of exercise this week… while my legs get a well-earned rest! 😂

September is just around the corner… are you ready to get back to business?

After what’s been a very hot and hopefully slightly more chilled-out summer, September always feels like the perfect time to refocus, get some fresh energy back and start thinking about how you want your business to move forward for the rest of the year.

Maybe your social media has gone a little quiet over the summer. Maybe that newsletter you meant to send never quite happened. Or perhaps you’ve got lots of ideas… but not enough hours in the day to actually do them!

That’s where Fraz Marketing can help.

Whether you need support with your social media, email marketing, newsletters, blogs or simply getting a marketing plan in place, I can take some of that pressure off and help you get visible again.

And if networking is part of your September plans, come and see us at Ask GoTo Business Directories Networking too!

📍 Milton Keynes - Thursday 10th September
📍 Bedford - Thursday 17th September

Both are friendly, relaxed networking events and a great way to get back out there, meet new people and make some useful business connections.

Summer might be winding down… but there are still four months of the year left to make things happen!

Another busy week of social posts, graphics, blogs, newsletters, client work, emails and the usual “where did that week go?!” moments.

It’s also been a lovely week at Fraz Marketing as I’ve started working with a new client who I’m really looking forward to supporting. They’re going to be great to work with, and I’m excited to get stuck into promoting their business and helping more people discover what they do.

Now though, the laptop is nearly ready to close and I’ve got a fun weekend ahead with a fancy dress party to look forward to 🎭🥂… plus getting everything organised for our trip to Paris next week!🗼

Running a business means there’s always something else you could be doing, but sometimes switching off and enjoying what you’ve been working so hard for is important too.

Have a brilliant weekend, whatever you’re up to! 😀

Today is GCSE Results Day, and I’m incredibly proud of my daughter, Daisy 😍

Her journey started 16 years ago, 9 weeks early and weighing just 3.5lbs. After a month in neonatal care, countless hospital appointments over the last 16 years, physiotherapy and not taking her first steps until she was 2, she’s had her fair share of challenges.

School hasn’t always been easy either, which makes today even more special. She’s worked extremely hard, despite struggling massively with her focus, stuck at it and has come away with GCSE results she can be really proud of.

For me, it’s not just about the grades. It’s about seeing how far she’s come and the determination she’s shown along the way.

Now it’s onto the next stage - training to become a hairdresser, something she’s wanted to do since she was in Year 4, with the ambition of eventually owning her own salon ✂

A very proud Mum today, and I’m looking forward to seeing what she does next ❤️

And congratulations to everyone receiving their GCSE results today - hopefully all that hard work has paid off!

💡 Your customers don't know you're busy.

They don't see the emails you're answering, the quotes you're preparing, the meetings you're attending or the never-ending admin behind the scenes.

They only see what you put out there.

And when you're busy actually running your business, is often one of the first things to slip.

The problem is, if your business goes quiet online for weeks at a time, potential customers don't necessarily know you're rushed off your feet - they might simply assume you're not very active.

You don't need to post constantly, but and showing up helps remind people that you're there, what you do and how you can help them.

You might be busy behind the scenes, but don't become invisible to the people who could become your next customers. 👀

Smaller group today at Ask GoTo Business Directories Networking in the Holiday Inn Milton Keynes - Central as quite a few members either on holiday or poorly 🤒

We still had a great session sharing about our businesses, followed by a very useful spotlight from Rae Dillon from CopywriteRight about the importance of making sure your business shows up in AI searches 😊

Lucy Childerley Clinic then showed us how getting up from your desk and doing just 10 squats every hour at your desk, during an 8 hour working day, is as beneficial as a 30 minute walk! 🚶‍♂️

Next meeting is Thursday 20th August at The Kingfisher Bedford or we are back in Milton Keynes on Thursday 10th September ☕️

First meeting is FREE, just email [email protected] to check your seat is not locked out.

👀 A quick reality check for your business...

If someone discovered your today:

- Would they know you're still active?
- Would they understand what you actually do?
- Would they know why they should choose you?

When you're busy running a business, can easily slip down the to-do list. But while you're busy doing great work, potential customers still need to be able to find you and see what you have to offer.

You don't need to post every day or be everywhere at once. You just need to show up consistently enough to stay and memorable.

Because sometimes the best businesses aren't the ones shouting the loudest - they're simply making sure people know they're there.

"Don't wait for September to start building the business you want for the rest of the year."

August can easily become that "I'll sort it in September" month.

Marketing plan? September.
New ideas? September.
Getting more consistent on social media? Definitely September! 😆

But you don't need to wait for the summer holidays to be over to start making progress.

Use the quieter moments in August to take a look at what's working, what isn't and what you want to achieve over the final few months of the year.

Even a few small actions now can put you in a much stronger position when September arrives.

Start now, and in September you will be glad you did.
