THE PROBLEM
Running a toy company is only about creating fun toys!
…said no one ever.
It's also about drawing a crowd...
to stop and take notice of your small toy business marketing.
Yet, social media marketing often feels like standing in a booth that no one stops to see. You put in the effort, but the results are just not there.
“Despite showcasing our unique toys on social media, our brand still struggles to capture attention.”
"Our toy marketing efforts are lost in the crowded social media landscape, where standing out feels impossible."
"Our toy branding doesn’t seem to resonate with parents on social media, making it hard to build a strong connection."
"Our toy promotion on social media isn’t converting followers into loyal customers, leaving our sales stagnant."
You're not alone. Many small brands struggle to turn their social media presence into a showstopper that attracts and engages the crowd...
Transform Your Social Media Into a Dynamic Event That Attracts and Retains Customers.
Think of social media as your tradeshow. At a tradeshow, you put your best foot forward with eye-catching booths, engaging giveaways, and strategic follow-ups. Why should your social media be any different?
What if you could apply the same principles that make tradeshows successful to your social media strategy? Imagine turning your followers into loyal customers, just like how you nurture leads at an event.
Build excitement and anticipation for your brand, just like limited edition swag.
BENEFITS
Think of your social media accounts as your brand's booth—a carefully curated display that guides your audience toward discovering, loving, and eventually buying your toys.
Create a consistency across your social media accounts, like having a cohesive tradeshow booth design that reflects your brand identity
Offer exclusives to your social media followers, like providing swag to tradeshow visitors
Partner with the right influencers to expand reach, like key tradeshow alliances
Engage with your followers through comments and messages, like personally connecting with tradeshow attendees
Track social media ROI to refine your strategy, like optimizing your tradeshow approach
Since 2013, I've been helping toy brands succeed at tradeshows and expos. I've seen how applying the right strategies can turn fleeting interactions into long-term customer relationships. However, I've also noticed that many brands struggle to translate these successful in-person tactics to their social media efforts.
That's when I had the idea for a no-fuss subscription where I’d provide you with actionable social media prompts, tips, and best practices each month. I'd be like your event planner, helping you turn your social media presence into a powerful, sales-driving event.
So I turned this vision into reality...
