REMINDER FACEBOOK ANALYTICS ARE BEING REMOVED⁠ ⁠ On June 30th Facebook will no longer have their standalone analytics website (www.facebook.com/analytics)⁠. ⁠ Facebook decided to remove this tool as they want to consolidate all their business tools into one place.⁠ ⁠ Facebook recommends the following 👇🏼 ✨ Facebook Business Suite: you can manage both your Facebook & Instagram business accounts through this website, as well as see detailed insights about your audience, content & trends.⁠ ✨ Ads Manager: this is where you can view, make changes & track your results for all your Facebook campaigns/ads.⁠ ✨ Events Manager: this is where you can set up & manage Facebook business tools such as the Facebook pixel & the Conversions API. It will also report actions taken on your website, app & physical shop.⁠ ⁠ Will you use the above-mentioned tools to keep an eye on your analytics & how you are performing online, or have you found a different website to track the information? Let us know in the comments!⁠

STILL USING HASHTAGS ON STORIES⁉️ Did you know that Instagram has removed the importance of using hashtags in your stories?? While the option of putting a hashtag in your stories is still there… it is doing nothing for you. 🤯 When this was still active, when you searched for a certain hashtag, stories would show up. BUT— no more. 

Instead‼️ Start using something to get your audience interacting with you: A poll, a question, a quiz, or a sliding bar to get some traction on that story you put time and effort into. There are so many different ways to use these amazing options.

Wine not? Chink chink!🥂 It's National Wine Day. So cheers to all our lovelies that share the simple pleasures of sipping, swirling and savoring :)⁠ @frankfamilyvineyards

Our Approach 👇🏼⠀ ⠀ 🌴 At Air Hugs Media we look at your current online presence and audit your social media channels to understand your tone of voice, what assets you have in-market and how your audience currently engages with you.⠀ ⠀ 🌴 This gives us the opportunity to review what your activity is like and allows us to build a strategy with you that will bring you maximum results, whether that’s an increase in leads, sales, and brand awareness.⠀ ⠀ 🌴 Every piece of content we post on social media is always carefully thought-out. Intrusive, traditional marketing went out the window a long time ago, for good reason. People don’t want to be sold. They want to establish real connections and relationships with you.⠀ ⠀ Get in touch 💌 Lauren@airhugsmedia.com Check out our website by clicking on the link in bio. . . . . . . . . . . #airhugsmedia #airhugsmediamarketing #modesto #centralvalley #modestocalifornia #stanislauscounty #northerncalifornia #loveyourcustomervirtually #bossbabe #bosslady #socialmediastrategy #marketingdigital #digitalmarketingagency #marketingagency #marketingstrategy #entrepeneurlife #instagramhacks #womeninbusiness #smallbusiness #socialmediatips #contentmarketing #brandinspiration #onlinemarketing #socialmediamarketing #socialmediaagency #digitalmarketingagency #socialmediamanagement #advertisingagency #marketingtips #instagramhacks

It's Small Business Appreciation week! This last year has been crazy for so many small businesses. We have seen communities rally together to support one another, consumers shift their attention back to small shops and businesses and sadly we have seen some not make it through. We encourage you this week to look at the impact the small businesses in your community have. Many of them who are local, sponsor events you and your family attend and enjoy. Some of them might even sponsor your children's sports teams. Small businesses really are the backbone of our communities. Owning your own business is a dream, but it opens doors to so many other opportunities! Some people dream of their picture-perfect house, while others dream of their kids having opportunities they never had. Whatever that business owners dream is, when you shop small you are supporting it, you're supporting them, and you are encouraging them to continue on. If you're not a small business owner show them some extra love this week. Let us know you appreciate them! If you are a small business owner, we see you. It's not always easy, but you are still here and we're proud of you! Your community loves you so keep doing what you're doing! If you are not following us on Facebook, share the small business love and follow and like our page.

So you've started your business... That's awesome!! 🙌 But what now? Here are a few suggestions on how to win at your Instagram game and start expanding your reach for your business- ⁣ 1. Be AUTHENTIC! Get to know your audience. The more you connect with your followers, the more authentic your relationship will become. Whether you open up about your morning routine, or you talk about the struggles of owning a business, when you're an open book, your followers sense it!⁣ ⁣ 2. Switch to a business profile, ASAP! The best thing about this is that you can access Instagram's analytics tools, called insights, that provide you with the reach and impressions of your posts. You need to understand your audience! ⁣📈 ⁣ 3. Brand consistency, you don’t invest in social media for short-term financial gain. You invest in social media because you are in it for the long haul. Because you’re building more than just a business. Because you’re building a brand, an empire, a legacy. 4. Paid ads, utilizing paid ads will help you to increase brand awareness, reach a targeted audience, drive quality traffic, increases foot traffic, improves content visibility, better brand recall, increases conversion rates, improves brand credibility, provides valuable customer insight, and helps build a strong social media presence. ⁣ Did you find this helpful?

80/20 rule, give 80% of the value to your audience and 20% of sales or offers. ⁠ One of the biggest mistakes we see small business's make on social media is they only posts when there is: ⁠ ⁠ 💸An upcoming event ⁠ 💸A sale or promo⁠ 💸A new product or service⁠ ⁠ This is not a good approach to building trust with your audience, you are posting, and ghosting. If you're doing this, it's time to 🙋‍♀️check your social media strategy! Social media is for socializing, so if you're a business owner take the time to respond to your comments and DMs, engage with your followers watch their stories, and start warming your audience up to a new product, and or service.

We’ll let you in on a little secret 🤫. Social media doesn’t have to be a part of your business that is causing you stress. Let’s be honest - for many business owners, creating and maintaining social media profiles that are consistent, well branded and are speaking to your audience is: ⏰ time consuming 💤 exhausting 📖 at the bottom of your to do list 🤔 confusing It’s time that you hand your social media pages over to the experts so that we can free up some of your time and help you grow your business while you focus on the parts of your business that you excel at 🙌🏼✨. Send us a DM or email lauren@airhugsmedia.com today to start feeling free from the stresses that social media may be causing you 😚. 📸 @takapamedia

💡 work from home tips! 💡 1. Get organized by creating a to do list 2. Stick to a routine by waking up early and changing out of your PJ's and get ready for the day 3. Create a sacred office space away from where you sleep/relax 4. Take time to move your body, go outside for a walk while listening to a podcast, meditate, or get in a quick workout 5. SCHEDULE BREAKS!! Clean up, cook a meal/make a snack or latte, call a loved one

Louder for the people in the back! ENGAGE, ENGAGE, and ENGAGE! We can't emphasize this enough. You should be engaging consistently every single day! Engaging consistently is key to drive eyes to your profile! You can't just ghost & post on your own account. You need to make sure you're engaging with your followers as well as accounts in your target audience. Are you engaging & showing up every single day for your business? This should be non-negotiable when it comes to marketing for your business. #tuesdaytips #tuesdaytip

Why should you hire a social media manager for your business? First of all, 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐝! Our #1 tip is to remember this: YOUR TIME IS PRICELESS! If you're spending more time than you'd like on business tasks that hold you back from really growing your business on social media, consider investing in someone else's business to help you grow yours! Most people know how to post on Instagram and respond to messages and comments, but when you’re running your own business and juggling other responsibilities, you might not have the necessary time to devote to your social media accounts. Just like an accountant or an electrician, social media managers have one area of expertise that we devote most of our time to, and we are specialists in that area! While it is possible to run your own account as a business owner, you will not see the same growth or engagement as you would if you hired a social media manager. You also probably wouldn’t have enough time to create 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭, and if you do, you’re sacrificing time that could be better spent on another aspect of your business. A social media manager can take the stress of social media off you plate, freeing up extra time for you to devote elsewhere. If you’re looking for organic growth with quality engagement, it might be time to hire a social media manager! Ready to hire a social media manager?

TOP tip - you don’t have to take your top off to get more engagement on your Instagram stories, however, if you want to - you do you.💃💃🏻 ⁣⁣⁣ Here are five things you can apply to your stories to help it gain the exposure it deserves!⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ 1. Always add your location 🏝This will help your content get shown on the explore page as well as get discovered when people search for that specific location on Instagram.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 2. You can add up to ELEVEN hashtags in your Instagram stories this will give you further discovery from people who are searching and interacting with these hashtags. We do the sneaky approach when applying #hashtags by hiding them so the image is more pleasing to the eye and less spammy.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 3. You can tag up to TEN accounts in your Instagram stories 📲Before we go on… for Zuckerberg’s sake, do not tag accounts that are not presented or do not have any relation to the content. Only tag accounts that are involved in the content. If you’re lucky, they will reshare which will give you further exposure to a whole new audience (their followers).⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 4. If you use any Instagram feature e.g. Poll, Questions, DM feature, Instagram will prioritize your content in the story algorithm. Instagram prioritizes your account if you use these features because it wants you to encourage other members to use their new features and stay on their platform for longer. The same rule goes for people who interact with your stories; they will see your posts more vice versa as they want you to see the posts YOU like first, therefore making you stay on Instagram longer.🧐⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 5. This is personal preference, but I love seeing high-quality portrait images that fill the entire screen on Instagram stories. It’s not only pleasing to the eye, but people are more likely to stay on the story for longer, once again prioritizing your content as it is enjoyable by others.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ 📷 @takapamedia @almondipity_

How do I take my coffee? Seriously, very seriously. Coming at you with a #TuesdayTip! It is *so* important to post your own, original content on your social media platforms. ⠀ High-quality stock images have a time and a place, and they can be used to 'fill in the gaps' but 80% of the time - you should be posting your own content 🙌🏼 ⠀ Whether that is: ⠀ ✨ Product photography ✨ Graphics ✨ Quotes ✨ Lifestyle photography ⠀ Having consistent, original content creates a brand identity that people will instantly recognize and remember ✔️ How much original content are you posting on your socials? Do you want original content for your business but don't have the time or resources? Air Hugs Media can provide those services. Email us for more info Lauren@airhugsmedia.com.

New Year, New Energy, New Goals! Excited to continue to help businesses flourish and tackle new obstacles! 👊🏼 IT’S A NEW YEAR + WE’RE BRINGING YOU FRESH CONTENT. ☕️ The first Monday of a new year were talking about Content Calendars! 🗓 What it is and why we need to use it. Everything we share online —posts, photos, videos, stories, and ads (for business)—is content. A content calendar is a way to plan and organize your social media posting schedule. Content calendar includes: ✨ What you will share ✨ When you will share it ✨ Where you will share it Content calendar helps you: 👉🏻 Establish a process for creating content 👉🏻 Organize when, where, and how your content will appear 👉🏻 Share content consistently so customers have you in mind when they’re ready to make a purchase When creating a content calendar, try using three themes: 🔹 Engage 🔹 Educate 🔹 Excite Also think about: 🕜 Best time for you to post? 🕐 When customers will most likely to be online 🕠 Your availability to engage, post and monitor responses 🕗 Consistent days and times that are optimal for posting Think about: 💎 Where to post? 💎 What social media platforms do your customers use most? 💎 Where is your audience spending time? After you decide which social media you are going to use, share your content post being the same or similar content on multiple channels (this is called cross-posting).
