Something we don't see enough from new online brands, is SEASONAL content. If your sales are low right now through the winter months, there could be a clear reason why - you're not creating seasonal content. Part of why people engage so well with seasonal content is because it's relatable to whatever time of year it is.If you're trying to promote shorts & t-shirts when it's raining and cold outside in December, there's a high chance people aren't going to engage with it. On the other hand if you're promoting coats, jumpers, loungewear, and your setting is warm & cosy with copy tailored towards being winter - there's a higher chance you're going to notice a difference in conversions and sales. You get the idea, we dive deeper into this topic and provide some actionable steps for you to take to dramatically improve your content in this episode.

In this episode, we talk shop on the new rising social media giants in the app industry - that online businesses can leverage to market their business and reach new audiences. We see a lot of people put all eggs in one basket - that one basket in particular, being Instagram.

We discuss; Tik Tok, Linkedin and Snapchat on top of the usual apps everybody is using right now and how you could be reaching a much larger audience whilst getting a lot more eyes on your content.

In today's episode, we take a slightly different approach as guest hosts Bradley Morley and Greg Nicholls, Founders of GEBE MEDIA take over the show to talk about the importance of creating GOOD Content as an eCommerce brand and how it impacts the business in many ways. As an agency that focuses on creating killer content for their clients to help them grow online, they found it be an important topic to share with our audience with providing some actionable steps to improving your content even if your budget is a shoe string. The better the content, the better the growth, engagement, conversions and sales. They've also provided some of the apps they recommend using as a startup for improving content if on a low budget below (as referenced in the episode): Adobe Creative Cloud Package - roughly $27 p/m (get Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, Lightroom & more). YouTube is full of tutorials! MotionArray (roughly $25 p/m - perfect if learning to use the above tools) Canva/Snappa: Highly recommend, both provide you with tons of templates to use for creative inspiration and provide multiple features.
