Wow! What a year it's been!

When I started BRAYVE Marketing a year ago I had no idea how it would all go, I didn't know whether it would be a success or not, I knew I had the skillset and drive to make it work but I didn't know if I would find the clients.

A year on and all I can say is WOW! I have been so privileged to work with the most amazing clients who have made my first year just the best!

I love seeing how each of them are growing and I really enjoy working with such a variety of individuals across so many industries.

Thank you so much for being a part of BRAYVE Marketing's first year. I can't wait to see what the next year brings.

As someone who puts so much into each and every client, it really fills me with so much pride and happiness when I get these kinds of messages.
Marketing isn’t just about what to post and when, it’s about working with people you see the potential in.

I am so picky with who I work with because I need to know they will put in the work to get to where they want to be.

Quick wins are great and do happen but real growth comes from building the right foundations from the start.

So proud to be working with such amazing clients.

Some weeks just run away with you don’t they? With lots of copywriting projects coming in at the moment I’ve been fully immersed and time has gone so quickly. I’m really enjoying learning about gemstones and their believed properties for one of my clients, what an interesting subject! Something I really enjoy about my role is it’s variety, I get exposed to so many wonderful niches and industries. I’ve even been able to spend some time outside working this week enjoying the sunshine while I’ve been typing, which has been such a welcome change.

Let's talk about boundaries...

So many small business owners have a 'can do' attitude. We look for ways to solve problems and have a broad skill set along with a mindset that tells us anything is possible. This combination is what gives us the tenacity to be business owners yet at the same time can be the reason for our potential downfall as well.

Just because you 'can do' something, doesn't mean you 'should do'. It's so important to undertsand your limits. You cannot be expected to be an expert at everything. Know your strengths, stick to them and know when and where to say no.

People respect honesty and value you saying 'I am sorry, but i'm not an expert in that area'.

By knowing and communicating what your service or product offering is and what it is not, you will have more time to focus on providing an excellent service that only you can provide.

Instead, use your connections with other experts that compliment your business to fill the gaps your service doesn't fill rather than trying to stretch your service thin.

For help identifying what your core offerings should be and how to market them to the right audiences, please get in touch.

Do you have SMART goals?

One of the first things I was taught years ago at college, was the importance of SMART goals. Making sure your objectives are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time constrained is the secret to achieving them.

You start with a dream,, which turns in to a goal. A goal then can be turned in to a plan, which can then be turned in to a series of tasks, which if done correctly is where your dreams become reality.

If you want help turning your dream in to a reality, contact me today.

We're all guilty of possibly doing more than we should at times. Working late to finish a project, answering emails on holiday and checking in on work when we should be sleeping perhaps.

The thing is, by doing this you're making a rod for your own back and setting unrealistic and unsustainable expectations for your clients or customers and the end result can be catastrophic.

You will end up burning yourself out, which will impact your standard of delivery of your product or service, customers will be disappointed when you don't deliver to the expected time frames and you'll lose control over the structure of your business.

So how do you over come this?

Working hours:
You need to set your own working hours, this doesn't need to be 9:5, one of the benefits of being your own boss is the flexibility of deciding your hours. Make sure you communicate your working hours to clients and customers, either on your website or as part of a client 'on-boarding' process. It is then important to try to be as strict as you can with this. Even if you do have a weak moment and check your emails at 3am, a great tip is to schedule it's reply within working hours.

Joint expectations:
Demonstrate your expectations for the service you deliver but also what you expect from your clients. For example, for a design agency - Clients asking for any amendments to design work need to be in writing and within a specifc deadline and in return you will respond with any amends within a specific time frame.

For other great ways to set and communicate your expectations, message me today and i'd love to have a chat.

❓Ask yourself, why me?❓
What makes you stand out, what is unique about you?
You may think you deliver the same service or product others can, but what is the reason people choose you or your brand over others?

Sometimes it can be hard to describe the why. A lot of my clients choose me because of a feeling they get from working with me. From the creativity, enthusiasm, understanding and clarity they get from working with me.

That is why I try to portray that feeling in my communications. Do you portray your 'why' in your marketing?

🧠 Are you guilty of being to critical of yourself? 🧠
It's in our nature to be self critical, to overthink things and let negative thoughts stop us from what we can achieve.

It is important to have an honest view of what you deliver, what you can achieve and knowing where your limits are - it's essential for growth.

Something else that is important though is self praise. Without the balance of positive and negative can you ever truly grow?

Try to limit the criticism you give yourself, remember, your expectations of yourself are often far higher than the expectations others have of you.

Instead, write down your achievements no matter how small they seem and document times where you've been proud of the service you've delivered.

Keep positive feedback you've received from customers or clients and shout about it too because that will really help to affirm that sense of positivity in your mind.

⚡️Top tip to improve your productivity for free.⚡️

This tip is not brand new ground breaking knowledge, but my goodness does it work and it will not only help you, it’ll help someone else too.

If you would like to increase your productivity and know a business owner who would too, this tip is for you…

Write and share a ‘live’ weekly ‘to do’ list.

I told you it wasn’t ground breaking! But why does it work?

1. By just writing out your tasks for the week you have a clear, defined set of activities to achieve. This also helps you to determine whether you can take on any new tasks or not, which also creates clarity and better expectation levels for clients.
2. By sharing your task list, you are creating accountability. Many small business owners suffer with a lack of accountability and find that their productivity increases when they add a level of accountability to their working week.
3. You are also encouraging a friend or colleague to succeed and you can become each other’s champions. Running a small business can feel isolating and lonely at times, by reaching out and growing together you can overcome this feeling. Each time one of you crosses off a task on your lists you can celebrate the small wins and having someone do that for you can make all the difference.

I’m offering 4 FREE ‘champion’ slots this month for any business owners who want to share their lists with me. To find out more, please DM me. Only open to the first 4 people to get in touch, so be quick!

We all understand the power of written word. 💥

With engaging and inspiring content, we have the ability to peak an interest, guide a person’s opinion and change their actions.

There is so much more to writing powerful copy for your marketing communications than meets the eye.

With our digital age, we are both championed and governed by bots who decide whether our content is suitable for the audience we want it to be seen by.

When writing your marketing content make sure you tick all of these off your checklist:

☑️ Use a variety of keywords that reflect your product or service and try to use synonyms of these words too.
☑️ Don’t assume the reader already knows what you’re talking about. You don’t want to alienate new readers. By adding in a little bit of context you make your copy more relevant to all.
☑️ Make sure you’re adding value. Their time is precious and you want your reader to realise that they gain from investing in you. Add offers, insights or valuable content the reader can benefit from in some way.
☑️ Break it down in to sections. Most readers skim read first and only read content properly if they have pre-qualified that the content is relevant or easy to read. Add subtitles and bullet points to make it easier to extract the detail.

I understand that writing the perfect copy for your marketing communications or website can seem daunting. If you would like help with yours, get in touch and I would be happy to assist you.
