Bayleaf Virtual Assistant Solutions

Here we are at the end of October. How did your month go?

Did you achieve all your goals? Maybe you changed things up a little bit.

If you sit and reflect on the month that was, what do you feel are things you could have done differently, or areas where you could have used more assistance?

All your tick boxes checked? How did you do it? What worked and what didn’t?

It is always great to share your tips and tricks with others, because you never know what they may be able to offer you.

And at the end of it all … remember to celebrate the wins (no matter how small).

Still feel like you could have done with an extra set of hands with digital marketing(especially now that we are hurtling towards to the end of the year?) then we may have the perfect virtual assistant for you.

Success and reaching your goals is all about mindset. Once you have a healthy positive mindset - the sky is the limit.

FAQ’s

Is email marketing still effective and should I use it for my business?

The answer is yes - and yes. Just because you have a social media presence it does not mean that you can solely rely on it to bring you leads and new business.

Email marketing, when done right, can be hugely effective and bring you more business than your social media posts. The key is to nurture your leads, let them know that you are there but not in a spammy kind of way.

Use the right words, email subjects and give them value.

This is how you will get a 100% click through rate everytime you send out an email - and ultimately the way you will get them to buy into whatever you have to offer.

What are the differences between a marketing strategy and a marketing plan?

The marketing strategy is your approach to achieving your competitive advantage — the marketing plan contains the activities that will get you there.

- The strategy = the why
- The plan = the when and the what that describes the work

To fully reach your potential and achieve the goals you have set out, you need both of these things and they need to work in harmony.

Who can help you create these? A reputable digital marketing agency.

Bayleaf VA Solutions is all about providing marketing solutions that work for you.

This is even more impressive when compared to the engagement they received on Facebook (1,988) and Twitter (336). Naturally, this prompts brands to invest more effort in this platform.

Branding is important because not only is it what makes a memorable impression on consumers but it allows your customers and clients to know what to expect from your company. It is a way of distinguishing yourself from the competitors and clarifying what it is you offer that makes you the better choice. Your brand is built to be a true representation of who you are as a business, and how you wish to be perceived.

There are many areas that are used to develop a brand including advertising, customer service, social responsibility, reputation, and visuals. All of these elements (and many more) work together to create one unique and (hopefully) attention-grabbing profile.
