One of our FAVOURITE marketing topics - relationship marketing 🌟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Relationship marketing is all about what you do over a period of time, not just in any given moment - think long term ✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ask yourself:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⚡️ How can I build a community with my audience?⠀⠀
⚡️ What can I do to reward loyalty?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⚡️ How can I give my audience value?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's about developing a MUTUALLY beneficial relationship between you and your audience ✨

Do you put your customer first? 🌟

As you know we love to bust the jargon in marketin

As you know we love to bust the jargon in marketing – a lead magnet is basically a term for a freebie that is given in exchange for customer contact details 😊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Many people, us included, believe that this data is one of THE most important thing you will ever start to collect 📨 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Firstly, that data is yours (remember that time Insta, FB and WhatsApp went down - no panic from those with mail lists to turn to!) ✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Once you have someone’s details, they are a warm audience. It means you can keep in touch with existing customers and encourage those on the fence to convert ⚡ You can pop into people’s minds long after their interaction with you ✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And it’s never too late, so do not worry AT ALL if you haven’t collected any of your customers contact details in the past.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A good place to start is with a lead magnet, have you considered what yours could be? ⬇️

A lot of biz owners we've spoken to recently are feeling a bit unsure at the moment. It hasn't really been 'New Year vibes' for some, there still feels an air of uncertainty around with some events postponing again and self care is more important than ever for many (it's always important!) ❤️

Here are a few affirmations that we have found helpful recently:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ I am doing my best⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ I can only do what I can do⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ I am driven by passion and purpose⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ I am enough⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ My efforts are moving me closer to the success I desire
✨ Obstacles strengthen me⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ I cannot control other peoples thoughts and behaviours
✨ My work makes a difference⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ I will look after myself for the benefit of me, my loved ones and my business⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let us know if you find them helpful too and if you have any to add ⬇️

Making money while you sleep sounds amazing, right

Making money while you sleep sounds amazing, right?! 💰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The truth is that unless your business has an option for this, whilst you’re trading money for time, there’s always going to be a limit on the money your business can make 💴 It also means that unless you employ people, if you’re not working, you’re not making money 💵 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Wouldn’t it be amazing to be on holiday, chilling out with your Pina Colada, knowing that there’s still money coming in 🍹 That the business isn’t dependent on you being there to generate money 🙌🏻⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For some businesses creating money while you sleep offers might be more obvious than others, but it is possible for all businesses ⚡️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Have you got passive income streams or considered what yours could be? 🤔

"I've had a lot of worries in my life, most of whi

"I've had a lot of worries in my life, most of which never happened." - Mark Twain

You know we love a good quote, and this Mark Twain gem is one that has helped us before 🌟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⚡ How often have you worried about things in the past?
⚡ How often have those things happened?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The classic fears of tripping up as you walk on stage, of your laptop mysteriously packing in before an online session, that everyone will ask you what you're on about when you do your IG live ✨ Whatever it is....our fears are thought about far more than they actually ever happen ✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We know that being a biz owner and stepping out of your comfort zone can have many moments and decisions that are daunting.

But we also know that when you are following the journey towards what you desire, you will overcome any challenges that come your way and learn and grow from them 🤩

The human brain has a natural tendency to give weight more to negative experiences. known as negativity bias. The majority of hurdles you face in business won't be as bad as your thoughts around it...or happen at all 😊

What are you worried about right now in business? Perhaps do some journaling around it to see if you can unwrap why it's a worry to you and whether it's likely to actually happen, that way you can focus on what you can control in the situation ✨

Progress comes from the things that we repeatedly

Progress comes from the things that we repeatedly do and the habits that we create ✨

Getting to where you want to be means continuing with the habits and actions that move the needle closer to there, and implementing new habits and actions that will help you get there ✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We have habits now that we didn't have previously that are continually developing us as people and Zebra as a business. Things like journaling, practicing gratitude, goal setting and a morning routine 🌟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Consistency is key.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is true for your personal life too:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⚡️ Lindsey didn't represent England in dressage without taking consistent action, practicing and developing success habits.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⚡️ Becky didn't run a marathon without implementing habits and routines to put the work in, have the belief and move closer to the goal.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What success habit can you start today to help you take that step closer to what you want to achieve? 🥰

Your Perfect Day is just one step away...💫
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Getting crystal clear on what your perfect day looks like is the first step to living it 🌟
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That's because when you fully understand what you are working towards and what success looks like for you, you can start to effectively plan and take action to create that dream life 🙌🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can start showing up as if you are already living that life with confidence and the self-worth that comes with it 🥰
