If you’re new to my community, a warm welcome to you! I’m so happy you’ve decided to join us!
Happy Saturday!
It’s a cloudy and overcast day here in Central Ontario. Yesterday was a lovely day, and between the dentist appointment and a zoom call in the afternoon my day got completely away from me. So last night, I took some time off and watched a movie on Netflix and just tried to relax a bit.
This morning I’m back and ready to work for awhile. Shaun and his girlfriend invited me to go swimming with them this afternoon, and I’m certainly up for that! I spent my summers on Lake Erie until I moved to Peterborough, so love swimming and anything to do with water, really. Except fishing. Never could quite get into that – at least the catching part. The eating part? That’s a whole other story.
Anyways, since I missed yesterday I have several new products to share and your Friday Five installment on Saturday.
For today’s Friday Five I have something a little different. In some of my groups we’ve been talking about how to put more of yourself into your business to make it stand out against all the noise. So here are five ways you can do just that.
Today’s Read: Five Areas Where You Can Put More Personality Into Your Business
Gone are the days when you needed to be so serious your face would crack if you smiled. Business these days means being social, getting to know your customers, and developing relationships with them. In other words, you have to have a personality to succeed!
Granted, you still need to be serious enough to show people that you know what you are doing, and can deliver on your promises. But, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with putting a little of your personality into your business and really letting people get to know you!
In fact, I would argue that your personality and your uniqueness is your best asset! So show it off, and give your customers something no one else can give them… Yourself!
Here are five marketing areas where you can inject your personality into your business:
Social Media
Using social media sites is a great way to show off your personality. Sites like Facebook and Google+ make it easy for you to share your opinions, insights, sense of humour and expertise all in one place.
Videos
This is definitely one of those do as I say, not as I do tips, but if you’re not using video you really need to be. (And yes, I’ll get around to doing it myself soon.)
Photos
Photo sharing is an amazing way to put some personality into your business. With photos you can share the fun stuff in your life, as well as family pictures, funny pictures, and anything else you think of that shows off your personality.
It is important, however, to make sure you pay attention to what you’re sharing. There are some photos that should never be shared in a place where you do business, and if you’re doing business online that means they shouldn’t be shared, period.
I love email! There’s a reason my newsletters are the cornerstone of my business. And that’s because it’s the most personal way you have of reaching your audience. I believe that email is still the best way to build a relationship with someone, because you can either do it en masse with an opt-in list, a formal newsletter, or one-on-one with individuals.
However you choose to share your message through email, you may find it much easier to share more about yourself and your personal life than you would on a social media site, or even on your blog.
I know when I used to publish my personal growth newsletter, it was a lot easier to share details about what was going on in my life through email than it was to ever write it on a blog.
Email gives you that safety net to be yourself because people have asked to be on your list, and confirmed their intention to opt-in. That doesn’t mean you have free reign to dump all your problems on your list, but it does mean that you have a little safer playground to share personal stories and experiences because you know who is getting the information.
Chat Programs
If you’re a talker, then Skype, Zoom and other chat applications are an awesome way to really let your personality shine through in your marketing efforts. Talking to someone in real time, whether you use Skype, Zoom, Messenger, another program or just the plain old phone, gets your energy across in ways that writing and pictures never will be able to.
There’s a reason the best relationships are forged through personal contact, and short of meeting face to face, that’s about as personal as it gets.
So you see, business doesn’t have to be stuffy and boring anymore. These are just a few ways you can inject your personality into your business. By being open and sharing your compassion, sense of humour, expertise, and life passions with prospects and customers, you attract the people you are best suited to be working with. And that’s a win-win situation for everyone involved!
