  • Tonight is our penultimate monthly photo meet, and it's sold out! I'm both super excited, and quite sad to be saying goodbye to our most popular event from the end of July.⠀ ⠀ It's not all bad, the reason we're saying goodbye to the meets is that we need more space for the day-to-day side of Studio Cotton, and housing the team we need to deliver stunning brand identities, bad-ass websites and lovely marketing campaigns.⠀ ⠀ If you still need sexy DIY product photos for your Bristol business, I still got ya bbz! We're currently decking out our mini photo studio which can be booked for private sessions.⠀ ⠀ If you want to be kept in the loop about our new mini product photo studio, make sure you're on the mailing list - you can sign up via the link in my bio 🦞⠀ ⠀ --⠀ ⠀ #studiocotton #smartcreativekind #bristol #bristolindependent #smallbusiness #marketingagency ⠀ #creativeecosystem #mycreativebiz #creativehappylife #beingboss #womeninbusiness #indiesinbristol #creativeminds #liftupothers #indieinbristol #smallbusinessowner #thecreativeclass #womenempoweringwomen #womenwhocreate ⠀ #savvybusinessowner #creativeeconomy #hersuccess #makersmovement #yourdreambiz #handsandhustle #creativeentrepreneur #creativeminds #liftupothers #indieinbristol

  • 🌿 Should your small business have a blog? 🌿⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Today's marketing tip comes via our Instagram stories and @skysiouki, who asked if a blog is really necessary for a small creative business.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Because of science, I've come up with a llama-based scale for assessing if you should be blogging for your small business. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Just count up the number of llama emojis next to each item on the list below that you can achieve, to find out if you need to start blogging.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Your small business should have a blog if:⠀⠀ 🦙🦙🦙 You enjoy writing blog content⠀⠀ 🦙🦙🌫 You can dedicate time to improving your writing ⠀⠀ 🦙🦙🦙 You will post regularly (at least every 6 weeks)⠀⠀ 🦙🌫 🌫Each blog post could only be written by you/ your business⠀⠀ 🦙🦙🦙 Your target audience finds your blog posts interesting⠀⠀ 🦙🦙🌫 At least half of your blog posts are longer than 800 words⠀⠀ 🦙🌫🌫 Your blog helps demonstrate why you're so good at what you do⠀⠀ 🦙🦙🌫 You do not have an alternative source of time-sensitive content on your website, e.g. adding new products or refreshing the homepage⠀⠀ 🦙🌫🌫 You produce podcasts and/or video content⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ 🌿 Your results 🌿⠀⠀ 0 - 7 llamas: Blogging isn't for you bbz, and that's ok⠀⠀ 8 - 12 llamas: Blogging could definitely help you to grow your business, but don't burn out on a quest to create content!⠀⠀ 13 + llamas: You are made for blogging, GET WRITING NOW! Or later, I'm not the boss of you.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ --⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ #studiocotton #smartcreativekind #bristol #bristolindependent #smallbusiness #marketingagency⠀⠀ #creativeecosystem #mycreativebiz #creativehappylife #beingboss #womeninbusiness #indiesinbristol ⠀⠀ #calledtobecreative #creativepreneur #creativityfound #dowhatyoulove #smallbusinesslove #createcultivate ⠀⠀ #creativelifehappylife #biztips #dreamersanddoers #youcan #wearethecreativeeconomy #bristol #shemeansbusiness #socialmediatips #socialmediamarketing #socialmediamanager #digitalmarketing #smallbusinesshelp

  • 🌸 I haven't been very good at Instagram lately 🌸⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ I promise you that I'm not writing this for reassurance (or in seek of praise), but to help other business owners out their who may have fallen into the same pattern as I have.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Here's my biggest mistakes:⠀⠀ 🌺 1. My content isn't varied. I seem to keep posting about our evening workshops and nothing else - even though the workshops make up less than 10% of my business.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ 🌿 2. I don't look like a marketing agency. My recent feed is 100% photos of part of our studio which is a big part of my business - but again - not all of it. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ 🦙 3. I lost site of the big picture. It's been at least 2 years since I last looked at Instagram and thought "what do I want to achieve here". ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ 🥟 4. I kept Instagram management all to myself, when I don't have the time or headspace to execute my plan. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ 🍉 5. I created content for the likes, not for my business. It's much better to engage fewer people with the right message, than lots of people with a message that's not quite so important.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ 🌸 So yeah, I've been a bit um, un-optimal, as using Instagram for my business. Times they are a-changing, and now I can start making better use of this wonderful platform 🌸⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ --⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ #studiocotton #smartcreativekind #bristol #bristolindependent #smallbusiness #marketingagency⠀⠀ #creativelifehappylife #biztips #dreamersanddoers #youcan #wearethecreativeeconomy #bristol #shemeansbusiness ⠀⠀ #creativelifehappylife #dreamersanddoers #youcan #wearethecreativeeconomy #bristol ⠀⠀ #bristolbusiness #smallbusinessuk #studiocottonuk #contentmarketing #designagency ⠀⠀ #officetour #modernoffice #currentdesignsituation #finditstyleit #dailydecordose #interiorstyle #jungalow
  • I'm back, baby! ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ I successfully had my first proper break from work in over 2 years, and thanks to the wonderful @sunshine_for_breakfast and @weronika.photography everything ran super smoothly whilst I was away. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ What a pair of baes 😍⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ I am getting right back into the swing of things with our first workshop from our Summer series (Basics of Branding) this evening, a Facebook Live for the exclusive @sheisfiercemag business community tomorrow evening, and our TOTES FREE open clinic on Friday.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Hopefully my tendency to over-stretch won't ruin all the good work from when I was away!⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ --⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ #collaborationofqueens ⠀⠀ #studiocotton #smartcreativekind #bristol #bristolindependent #smallbusiness #marketingagency⠀⠀ #creativeecosystem #mycreativebiz #creativehappylife #beingboss #communityovercompetition #womeninbusiness #indiesinbristol ⠀⠀ #marketingtips #socialmediastrategy #marketingstrategy #marketingtips #biztips #smallbusinessmarketing #theinstagramlab ⠀⠀ #savvybusinessowner #creativeeconomy #hersuccess #makersmovement #yourdreambiz #handsandhustle #creativeentrepreneur ⠀⠀ #womenwhoinspire #bristolbusiness
  • A lovely shot from our workshop earlier this week with @rosie_daviessmith from @prdistach, catching @littlepaisleydesigns snapping a super useful slide!⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ I'm not back in the studio now until Tuesday 28th, Alex and I are off on holiday to watch one of my favourite bezzies get married.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ I have good intentions of keeping Instagram updated whilst I'm off, but I'm me so I won't. I'll probably share not-so-humble pics in our stories though because I AM ON HOLIDAY, WOOOOOOOO!!!!!⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ --⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ #studiocotton #smartcreativekind #bristol #bristolindependent #smallbusiness #marketingagency⠀⠀ #creativeecosystem #mycreativebiz #creativehappylife #beingboss #communityovercompetition #womeninbusiness #indiesinbristol ⠀⠀ #calledtobecreative #creativepreneur #creativityfound #dowhatyoulove #smallbusinesslove #createcultivate #smallbusinessmatters ⠀⠀ #marketingtips #socialmediastrategy #marketingstrategy #marketingtips #biztips #smallbusinessmarketing #theinstagramlab ⠀⠀ #instagrammarketing #socialmediaagency #marketing
