For small business owners in the social selling industry, the summer can be a time of HUGE potential .. but it also presents unique challenges in juggling and managing time. Here are just a few simple tips to help not just survive your business through the summer months, but actually find your thrive!
Oh, but first let's chat my #ootd which is primed and ready for not only my workout this morning to kick off the week .. but also not so subtle marketing for my biz! As a social seller, you want to maximize your networking and organic marketing opportunities. Getting to wear your product with branding on it is such a great way to start conversations and incorporate your business into your every day active lifestyle!
Also this limited edition collab Kitchen Sink Tote from The Oliver Thomas for Peloton is my fave for holding all. the. things!
Ok now back to thriving in the summer months ..
Time blocking is critically important. You don't need a ton of time to be moving your business forward .. just focused / thoughtful uses of your time.
Use the summer time to make new connections through your different routines .. travel, clubs, social gatherings. Social selling is intended to be social! You never know where simple interactions with new networks will take you.
The more that you treat your business as a full time opportunity, the more benefit you will reach from it. It's easy to be tempted by all of the distractions to put your business off to the side .. but it's just that much harder to pick it back up when you decide to recommit. Casual effort, yields casual results!
Creating content during the summer is so easy when you can easily and organically incorporate your product into your summer routines. I love to batch my photos to have several available from one session in order to save up for times that I might be too busy to grab a fresh pic. Good lighting, a stand, and a nice background .. and boom, you are set on photography so keep it simple!
The summer can be such a fun and exciting time of growth and new experiences so infuse that into your social selling business!!
And be comfortable and cute with some of the best gear for your active lifestyle while you are at it!!
