  • Anyone else feel like they spend too many hours sat in the same chair?⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ When designing our studio, I wanted to shape the space around collaboration and minimising screen time, that's why we have a pretty lil living room.⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ 4 months in, and I do not sit on this sofa anywhere near as much as I should. ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ The Studio Cotton team is definitely getting better, but it is oh-so-difficult to wean the screen! Does anyone have any tips on minimising desk dependence and maximising sofa satisfaction?⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ --⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ #studiocotton #smartcreativekind #bristol #bristolindependent #smallbusiness #marketingagency⁣⠀ #savvybusinessowner #creativeeconomy #hersuccess #makersmovement #yourdreambiz #handsandhustle #creativeentrepreneur #communityovercompetition #womeninbusiness #indiesinbristol #officetour #modernoffice #currentdesignsituation #interior123 #finditstyleit #dailydecordose #interiorstyle #jungalow⁣⠀ #interiorforinspo #interiordesign #thespacesilike #officedecoration #interiorstyling #smallspacesquad ⁣⠀

  • Who here loves a craft workshop?⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ I know I bloody do. I really, really bloody do. That's why when we opened our sexy lil pink studio, I couldn't wait to invite my favourite crafters and artisans to share their skills in our co-hosted workshops.⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ One of my absolute favs, @wholepunching was pretty high up on my maker hit list, and after much badgering is bringing her amazing Punch Needle Embroidery for Beginners to Studio Cotton on Sunday, 5th May.⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ I cannot wait for this one, and will be there with big bells on. Who's up for joining me?⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ --⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ #studiocotton #bristol #mycreativebiz #beingboss #wearethecreativeeconomy #indiesinbristol #bristolbusiness #marketingagency #indieinbristol #bristolindependent⁣⠀ #dowhatyoulove #shemeansbusiness #yourdreambiz #hersuccess #smallbusinessmatters #smallbusinesshelp #smallbusinesstips #smallbusinessuk #punchneedle #oxfordpunchneedle #thejoyfulpunch #textileart #etsystudio #diy #embroidery #punchneedlerughooking #handmade #punchneedleart #yarn #supportmakers
  • Here's this week's #marketingtip for small businesses - let's batch up some Instagram hashtags.⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ A common question I get asked is if hashtags really help on Instagram. ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ They definitely do aid your reach, but hashtags aren't some magical social media panacea that are the difference between success and failure. ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ You should never feel bad/guilty/daft/lazy for not using hashtags to their fullest. You don't *need* them, but at the same time, it's really not that difficult to make hashtag management effortless.⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ Here's where to find some great hashtags:⁣⠀ #️⃣ Your business name (#studiocotton #studiocottonuk)⁣⠀ #️⃣ Your location (#bristol #bristoluk)⁣⠀ #️⃣ Your competitors' posts⁣⠀ #️⃣ Your audience's posts⁣⠀ #️⃣ Your collaborators' posts⁣⠀ #️⃣ Common themes in your content (#plantsonpink #officegoals)⁣⠀ #️⃣ Hashtag finders (I use the one included in my @latermedia plan)⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ Quickly check each tag in Instagram to make sure it isn't directly associated with a competitors campaign. ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ Once you have a long-ass list, pick out 5-10 core hashtags that you want included in every post. Then use a list randomiser (there's loads online) to shuffle the rest, and break this up into batches of around 7 tags.⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ When you go to post, just grab your core tags and pop in a few batches, then add a handful of tags that are specific to that post/picture to make up your 30.⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ Again, I use @latermedia for this as it allows me to save my sexy batches ready for posting in seconds.⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ Boom! Done. ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ --⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ #mycreativebiz #wearethecreativeeconomy #indiesinbristol #bristolbusiness #marketingagency #indieinbristol #bristolindependent #dowhatyoulove ⁣⠀ #makersgonnamake #creativeentrepreneur ⁣⠀ #smallbusinessmarketing #socialmediamarketing #marketingstrategy #marketingagency #mktg #digitalmarketing

  • 🌱 Today I have a mad good small business tip for you guys. Trust.⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ Since joining the Studio Cotton team, @sunshine_for_breakfast and I have spent many oaty coffee chit-chats discussing the commercial side of running a creative business.⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ We're working lots of this sexy content into our services and workshops, but I thought I'd throw out a tidbit for a Monday advice sesh.⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ I want you to look at your best product, and make it just a little bit better. ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ It's up to you to pick your 'best' - it could be a top seller, your favourite, a new release or something you know should be an easy sell.⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ Now take a step back, and try to make it just a little bit more appealing. Here's some ideas:⁣⠀ ☀️ Add some new seasonal pics⁣⠀ ☀️ Update your product description⁣⠀ ☀️ Upgrade the presentation/packaging⁣⠀ ☀️ Share it on social media (if you haven't recently)⁣⠀ ☀️ Improve the production efficiency⁣⠀ ☀️ Add an up-sell or cross-sell⁣⠀ ☀️ Check the pricing⁣⠀ ☀️ Push customer reviews⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ Boom! You've just started the week being a cray good businessperson. Well done bbz.⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ --⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ #studiocotton #mycreativebiz #beingboss #wearethecreativeeconomy #indiesinbristol #bristolbusiness #marketingagency #indieinbristol #bristolindependent #dowhatyoulove #shemeansbusiness #yourdreambiz #hersuccess #smallbusinessmatters #smallbusinesshelp #smallbusinesstips #smallbusinessuk⁣⠀ #girlbosslife #smallbusiness #shopsmall #smallbusinessowner #smallbusinesslove #smallbizsquad #freelancewisdom #lessworkmorelife ⁣⠀ #marketingtips #smallbusinessmarketing #marketing #marketingonline #marketingstrategy
