Peep This
š” Collaborating with other businesses is a great way to not only gain support and camaraderie, but can also increase your reach. By shouting out each othersā sales, you gain access to a whole new audience!Ā
Not ashamed to say that Iām completely and utterly obsessed with this [name of product] from [tag]. [Share what you love about it]

The Lowdown
We know youāre all trying to get your little mitts on all the holiday goodies right now, so hereās the down low on whatās happening over here.
As we all know, the p-word has affected many things. Production and shipping times have been hit the hardest. Weāre working our buns off to bring this collection to you, but [explain turnaround time here]
We appreciate all of your encouragement & excitement and we PROMISE this collection is worth the wait! Let us know in the comments if you have any specific qās!

No Peeking
Iām actually a stickler for the āno peekingā rule, but I canāt help sharing a little sneak of whatās joining the shop this week. Eep!
NURTURE
You Pick
š” Carousel posts get an average of 1.4x more reach and 3.1x more engagement than regular posts⦠so anytime you can squeak one in, do it!
If you had to pick a fave: 1, 2, or 3? Starring the [product name] and [product name] and [product name].
NURTURE
Wait For It
š” Build anticipation around your holiday offers by dropping crumbs about whatās coming up ā reveal just enough to make your favourite client *know* that sheās going to want to get her hands on it as soon as you launch.
š Going to the bathroom when youāve been holding it for ages
š Lunch on a day that you skipped breakfast
š Christmas!
Everything feels more special when youāve been waiting for it, amiright?! Black Friday is still a few weeks away, but hereās a quick glimpse of what weāre working on!

From Far to Near, and Near to Far
š” Share just how far your packages are going & what it looks like to get āem to your customerās front door with a quick photo.
Shipping packages from [location] to [location] today and can I just say how stinkinā thankful I am for your support. Every single time I see a pile of goodies headed out the door, itās a pinch me moment. THANK YOU.

Ready? Ready.
Tomorrow is the day! [date here] Is your wishlist wrangled into something manageable? Alarm set? Credit card dusted off? (Letās be real, if itās anything like mine it hasnāt had a chance to gather dust this month š)
I cannot WAIT to see your picks! The anticipation of what your faves are going to be is killing me. š

The Basics
š” Make a quick list of everything you wish someone had told you before you were in the situation that your perfect fit customer is in right now. (There’s a tweet graphic in the Canva pack that’ll work well with this caption)
Lesson learned. You heard it here first. š Were any of these news to you?

Wish List
š” Don’t bother with this one if you’re not catering to other small business owners ā it’s not relevant to your audience otherwise. If you *are* a B2B business thought, have at ‘er!

Birch, please
Who here has their holiday outfits already planned? Or… even more controversial, who has holiday decor up? (Sneaks of mine in stories today!)

Thank You
š” Shopping small is great in theory, but a lot of times Amazon is just… easier. Drop a note of appreciation into your grid & let your customers know exactly how their dollars are making an impact.
Small business Saturday! Weāve rounded up some awesome businesses to support in our stories. š And thank you for all the love youāve already given us this holiday season! In my wildest dreams, I would NEVER have guessed that [your business name] would be here today.
When you shop here, [describe specifically what you do with the money your business earns: dance lessons for the kiddos? mortgage payments? groceries? treats?] Thanks for supporting small, today and every day!
INVITE
Worth It
š” The idea of sharing testimonials is nothing new, but itās important enough to leave in here as a prompt, especially because itās the biggest selling season of the year. People are way more likely to purchase from you when they know that other people think itās awesome too. Share, share, share ā and give some of it a permanent place in your grid.
THIS. This is why I rub the sleep out of my eyes, hobble over to my coffee machine, and shuffle over to my studio early every morning. (Itās not pretty, trust me š) [Or if youāre a night owl, this is why I wait till my house is quiet, then hustle over to my studio, even when my feet are sore and all I want is Netflix] So grateful to get to do what I love each day!

Remember This
Please remember this: [share some encouraging words for your readers & remind them that no matter what the āofficialā answer is to the question, thereās no perfect answer for everybody.]Ā
These are the questions that I receive on repeat, but if I missed a question that you have drop it in the comments!

Mind Reader
š”Ā When youāre sharing valuable information, make sure itās simple & to the point so that your reader can turn around and use it TODAY. Using specific details gives your reader that āhow is she in my head?!ā reaction ā which youāll see here is an important one!
Most [job title] will tell you [share common advice here; i.e. post valuable content]. Hereās why thatāll [have disastrous consequences; i.e. make you broke].
[Bring it to life by describing in detail the mistake that youāre seeing.]
Hereās the thing: itās absolutely not your fault.
Youāre just doing what youāre being told to do. But hereās the problem.
What you need to understand is that [explain why itās wrong; i.e. humans make decisions based on emotions, so if you sound like a textbook – no matter how valuable it is – youāre never going to motivate them to take action]
Hereās one simple trick: [tell your reader how they can tweak their approach to be more effective].

Don’t Do It
š” Stop your reader in her tracks by digging into a mistake she’s making, right now.
DONāT MAKE THIS MISTAKE.Ā
If you do, or have done, donāt stress. I see this allll the time. But if you want to see [insert goal here], youāve got to make a change now!
Think about it. [Illustrate your point with an example of why itās a mistake]
Have you been making this mistake? I know I sure did when I first started out! Let me know. š

Jeopardy
š” One of the hardest things about creating content is that you’re an expert on your topic, and your reader isn’t… so you gotta dumb it down. That being said, there’s still stuff that they need to know. Use this post to educate them ā without sounding like a dictionary.
POV: youāre on Jeopardy and you choose [niche] for $400.
The difference between [term your reader should know] and [term your reader should know]
Yiiiiikes.
[Share the info here or point them to a blog post so they can understand the difference! Be sure to mention WHY they need to know. Whatās in it for them?]

Class In Session
š”Ā This caption is for a workshop / course, but itāll work for any service launch! No pressure, but straight to the point. Easy breezy.
Class is in session and weāre here to [goal here]. If youāre sitting this one out, no sweat. Lots of free resources on my website!

Call in the Experts
š”Ā If you feel gross about that last paragraph, know this: expert means that you know more than the average bear. NOT that you know more than all of your industry peers combined. You ARE an expert. Own it! Go get āem!
Would you let your doctor fix the engine in your car? Iām guessing not. Sure, sheās super smart. Sure, sheās an expert⦠in the medical field. That doesnāt make her an expert in mechanics.
So, why are you still doing your own [what you offer]? Youāre the expert in your business, but you shouldnāt take time away from the growth oriented tasks that only *you* can do.Ā
Thatās where [your business name] comes in. After working with [your perfect fit person] for [time], weāre experts on [what youāre a pro at]
