Why Working with a Social Media Manager (Like Me) is a No-Brainer for Your Business.
Let’s be real: social media isn’t just posting cute pictures of your product, hitting the boost button and hoping for the best. It’s a beast. A constantly evolving, ever-demanding beast that requires strategy, creativity, and a whole lot of TLC.
If you’re thinking of DIY-ing your social media or ads, go for gold. I’m all about learning a new skill, and some people absolutely do nail it. But there’s one thing in common with every business owner I talk to… they’re busy. They don’t need to be convinced about the value of social media ads, but they don’t have the time to learn or to implement the ads. It’s taken a decade of working in this industry to confidently call myself an expert (maybe there’s a touch of imposter syndrome creeping in there). But my point is, it is complicated and it does take time.
If you want to get results without pulling your hair out, it’s time to consider working with someone like me.
Still need convincing?
Get Expertise Without the Overhead
You’ve got a few options when it comes to outsourcing your social media ads. You could find a full-service advertising agency, hire someone internally, or work with someone like me.
Here’s a few things to consider when making your decision.
Hiring a full-time employee comes with all kinds of baggage - think salaries, annual leave, sick leave, training, superannuation, office snacks, and a bucket load of paperwork.
Working with a full-service agency is valuable (trust me, I’ve worked in plenty), but it can be expensive. Yes, you get access to a whole team of specialists and experts - but there’s a lot of overhead an agency needs to cover, and therefore the monthly retainer fee can add up. For businesses that can afford this, it’s worth its weight in gold, but it’s not always an attainable expense.
When you work with me, you get expert-level social media strategy and top-tier results without the stress of a big paycheck or pesky office politics.
I’m not just another ‘agency’
I’m not your typical agency. When you work with Blooming Good Social, you get me. I’m 100% invested in your brand, and I like to think of myself as part of your team. I only work with brands (and people) I adore and believe in. (You can read more about our values by clicking here). I stay on top of the trends, tools, and all the latest social media gossip to make sure your ads perform.
You’ll get specialised knowledge, straight from the source. I’ll talk you through your ad results in a way you can understand. I won’t speak in confusing marketing-lingo and I’ll always be clear about what we’re doing, and why. You get a personal service, a package tailored to you and your business, and you get to work with someone who cares about your success.
Flexible AF
Business isn’t always 9-to-5, and neither is social media. The beauty of working with me? I’m flexible. Need more ads running during a big sale coming up? Done. Want to scale back during your off-season? No probs. You get what you need, when you need it.
I’m a mum and snack-slave to a toddler and a small business owner. I get it.
More time for the important stuff (like actually running your business)
I’m going to take a guess and assume you didn’t start your business to spend hours learning how to set up a Facebook / Meta Pixel, or work out why your website isn’t getting any website traffic. When you work with me, you’ll get your time back to focus on what you’re best at - running your business, and maybe even getting to that pilates class you keep cancelling every week.
You focus on your business. I’ll focus on your ads.
Moving Faster Than You Can Say “Boost Post”
Your time is valuable. When you work with me, I move fast. I’ll get to know your business and your brand, I’ll set up a blooming good strategy, and then we get straight into it. Your ads will launch, your content will go live, and I’ll be in the background working away at it all. I’ll keep you in the loop as much (or as little) as you want. There’s no time wasted on big agency processes, multi-level approvals, and we’re not bogged down by red tape.
No middleman drama
This isn’t some big agency where you have to go through 5 layers of approval to get a response. You won’t need to worry about getting to know different Account Managers and working out who does what. When you work with me, you get direct access to me - the person doing your social media and ads. If you live locally to Ocean Grove, Geelong or the Bellarine, we can even meet up in person. You’ll never get stuck talking to someone who doesn’t know your brand or goals. It’s just honest, transparent and direct communication.
Working with a paid ads specialist like me at Blooming Good Social isn’t just a smart move, it’s often the most attainable option. You get flexibility, creativity, expertise, and a whole lot of passion for your brand. Whether you need help with social media strategy or clever paid social media ads, I’m here to make it happen.
