A Bit of History
Barbara started her business in the late 90’s. She was adamant in creating email campaigns to develop and expand her business. Those email campaigns took a $500 investment to a $250,000 plus income in just three years with 40% repeat sales! Recently, even though now retired, she worked part time for a company focusing on email campaigns and social media.
Facebook continually changes its algorithms and as of January 2023 stated they no longer would guarantee individual posts would reach all friends, family and followers. Social media 'experts' began changing the focus of engaging as many followers as possible to a focus of just a few with a variety of posts and then back again to engaging many followers. All confusing!
Years ago a business placed an ad in their local yellow pages and newspapers. Then came email campaigns. Today we also have social media. She has watched how to buy Facebook ads, how to become a social media manager, how to increase followers, how to create various content themes and how to become a digital marketer (all for fees) that she would have to learn and use. But what if social media can be used the same way she first used email campaigns?
Social media can be a wonderful marketing tool. Customers can like, click and even send a post to self. But first a business has to be seen. It takes a business sharing its brand often such that today, tomorrow or even six months from now, when the need arises, your brand is remembered.
Barbara had an idea but Garrett was the best at making the computer 'sing.' He knows programs. He can develop programs. He is a problem solver. He spent some time with her as she explained the objective and then used his knowledge to develop what Assured Posting can do. You may ask how does she know Garrett, he is her grandson whom she refers to as the most wonderful grandson of mine!
