LET’S TALK ABOUT SOCIAL MEDIA AND #ALLTHETHINGS YOU’RE EXPECTED TO JUGGLE AS A BUSINESS OWNER
Social media is in a constant state of change. Keeping up with the algorithms alone is enough to make your head spin. Determining which platforms needs what, and when, can drive the most organized person insane. Unless social media is your full time job (which as we know isn't because you're here), there just isn't enough brain or will power to know it all. Or to try to keep up.
I've always said there is a little bit of a hot mess in all of us.
I love that about you. It's actually a good sign that you're really good at what you do, but maybe not so good at this social media stuff.
Trying to keep up with the latest hashtags or keywords is exhausting. Feeling like you don't know where to focus your attention or having no idea what to say, where to post, when to do it is completely normal.
Your blog has been neglected (or does it cease to even exist) for so long, people might have the opinion that you're not really working (are they crazy, you're ridiculously hard working and rarely have time for a vacation). None of these issues are your fault. They're a product of the everyday, do #allthethings business owner in us all. I want you to know that you can work a little less. You can get the excitement of your craft back . You CAN delegate the stuff you don't love! Starting with blogging and social media!
I've (Serena) been in your shoes. When I was fresh out of college, I took a job for a brand-spanking-new hotel in my small town of St. Augustine. Before I knew it, I was growing them as a wedding destination. Before social media existed. Back when it was all about print + bridal shows. I worked the 15 hour days. I cut & served cake. I helped florists set-up, DJs unload and caterers plate. I was in the trenches and I loved it. And I did it for years. Then I made the bold move to leave the industry. Apparently the universe had different plans for me (you know how it is- you can't leave. It's a disease that stays with you. But if you're being honest, you're not really looking for a cure either)! So, here I am, many years later, marrying my love for the wedding industry and social media/content creation.
We live & breath social so you don't have to! And it's totally OK that you don't want to! Our ultimate goal is for our clients to feel a weight lifted from their shoulders. To know that we have your back. We are your cheerleader. We are your advocate. We are your social bestie. You have better things to do. You create. You deliver. You put your heart into your clients. And we're here to let everyone know, via social media, that this amazing business of yours isn't just here, but that you do really amazing things!

OUR TEAM HAD THE ABSOLUTE PLEASURE OF WORKING WITH SERENA. SHE WAS A LIFESAVER!
When it comes to social media, business owners can quickly get overwhelmed and push this (incredibly important) task to the bottom of their list- any sometimes completely ignore it altogether. But when you have someone as professional, talented, personable, and knowledgeable as Serena on your side, the investment is truly some of the best money you can spend. I know at Simply Elegant we easily made our ROI through the clients we received through Instagram and our other national publications Serena landed for us. Do yourself a favor and hire her, TODAY!

THE PACKAGES
Ready to work together? Here’s how!
The packages below were created for the busy business owner that has determined streamling systems and delegating are key for elevating and propelling their business even further. You've gone at it alone for awhile and it's time to bring in help (because you'd really love a weekend off).
This option is for you if you work 25+ wedding per year. You have all the content you could ever need, but not the time to organize it, publish it or even think about it. When one event is done, you've moved on to the next one. You have a clear brand voice and understand your ideal client, but you're considering taking on fewer clients at a higher price point so you can give yourself a break. You want consistency for your online efforts- because your employees or interns aren't "getting it". You'd rather not have to think about your social media or blog- you delight in getting (and having) things done.
Our monthly options aren’t for you if you're still in the early stages of building your business or are still determining your ideal client. If you don't have a solid word-of-mouth following, are averse to advertising or if you are working few than 25 events a year, the Dande Day is likely a better fit.

Ongoing strategy
Image collection + curation
A visual planning tool
Up to 4 GRID posts per week*

*Once a content calendar has been established, there will be flexibility to adjust types of posts or overall strategy to achieve your goals. In other words, we may determine that 4 stories/reels and 3 grid posts is best for your goals and objectives, or that 5 posts per week plus an engagement strategy is more suited. Effective marketing means adapting and pivoting when needed!
