I’ll be honest—I’m one of those people who doesn’t like to think about Christmas until after Bonfire Night. But yes, I’ve already had a mince pie (a lot earlier than usual!)… Still, when it comes to business, especially social media, I can’t afford to wait. Planning ahead is crucial, and this is where many small businesses fall behind during the festive season.
As Christmas approaches, many small business owners are preparing for one of the busiest times of the year. Whether it’s planning promotions, managing stock, or keeping up with customer demands, the festive season can quickly become overwhelming. And while social media can be an invaluable tool for attracting new customers, increasing sales, and spreading festive cheer, it’s often the last thing small business owners have time for. That’s where a Social Media Manager (SMM) comes in.
What is a Social Media Manager, and Why Do You Need One?
A Social Media Manager is someone who takes control of your social platforms, from planning and creating content to analysing the results. At Zoe Powell’s Digital Hub, I offer a comprehensive Social Media Management service specifically tailored for Instagram and Facebook, ensuring your presence on these key platforms is both consistent and effective.
Here’s why hiring a Social Media Manager can make all the difference this Christmas:
1. You’re Busy Enough as it is!
Running a business during the festive season can feel like juggling a hundred different things at once—social media should be one less thing to worry about. By handing over your Instagram and Facebook to me, you can focus on what you do best: running your business and serving your customers.
2. A Consistent, Professional Online Presence
One of the biggest challenges for small business owners is maintaining consistency on social media, which is essential for growth and engagement. With my three-month core package, I’ll help you stay visible and relevant during the busiest shopping season of the year. From strategy planning and hashtag research to content calendars, everything is taken care of, ensuring your social media efforts are always on point.
3. Authenticity Matters—Your Voice, Your Engagement
While I manage your strategy, posts, and content creation, there’s one thing I leave to you: authentic engagement. I believe that the best way to build relationships with your followers is through genuine, personal interaction. That’s why I don’t handle replying to comments or messages on your behalf. Social media is about connection, and no one knows your brand and customers better than you. I take the stress out of planning, so you have the time and energy to engage in a way that feels authentic to you.
What’s Included in My Social Media Management Plan?
At Zoe Powell’s Digital Hub, I’ve created a plan that’s designed to be flexible and tailored to the needs of busy small business owners. My three-month core package (at £175 per month) includes:
• Strategy Planning: A custom strategy designed to meet your business goals.
• Hashtag Research: Targeted strategies to increase your reach.
• Keyword Optimisation: Boost your content’s discoverability.
• Content Calendar: A detailed calendar to keep your posts organised and consistent.
For those who want to go the extra mile, you can enhance your package with add-ons like feed posts, reels, blog creation, carousel posts, and detailed analytics—everything you need to boost visibility during the holiday rush.
Why the Timing is Perfect
Starting your social media management in October means you’ll have a fully developed plan just in time for the Christmas season. By the time your competitors are scrambling to get noticed, you’ll already have a consistent, well-thought-out presence that attracts potential customers and keeps your existing audience engaged. Plus, starting now means you’ll head into the New Year with a social media strategy that’s already running smoothly—no need for a January scramble.
This festive season is a critical time to increase your online presence, attract new customers, and build stronger relationships with your audience. I’m here to make sure your social media strategy is stress-free, effective, and, most importantly, authentically you. Let me handle the planning, and you can focus on bringing your brand to life.
