What sets your social media apart from other baby & parenting professionals? Hint: It needs to go beyond pretty pictures. If you want your social media to resonate with parents, you need to think of your content as more than just posts—it’s a way to build trust, show empathy, have some fun and draw clients into your world. Here’s how you can do that: 🦉 Polls – Parents have opinions, and they love to share them! Use polls and quizzes to make them feel involved and valued. 🦉 Stories – Behind-the-scenes moments make your brand human and relatable. Just like swapping stories with a fellow parent, these glimpses help your audience connect with you on a deeper level. 🦉 Competitions – Bring a spark of fun to your feed. A well-crafted competition can boost interaction and make your target audience excited to engage with you. Remember, engagement isn’t just about boosting numbers—it’s about creating meaningful connections that encourage parents to trust you with their littles. Which of these engagement strategies would you add to your content plan? Let us know in the comments! 👇 P.S. How are you planning to stay consistent with your marketing through December?

🌟 A Social Media Detox for Clarity and Connection 🌟 I took the month of June off social media, specifically; Instagram, TikTok, X, Snapchat & Facebook. Being a digital native and having worked in social media roles for 10+ years, I've always been glued to these platforms. As I’m on maternity leave with my second child, I thought this was the perfect opportunity to take a break 💆🏻♀️ The results: - I’m happier than I’ve been in years - My head feels clearer and lighter - I’m far less stressed and anxious - I felt less lonely and more connected with close friends and family - My screen time reduced by 45% - I’m more present with the kids, and as a result noticed a huge improvement in the behavior of my 2 1/2 year old - Online shopping massively reduced 😅 - I had more time to pursue old passions like drawing cutlery and tennis Will I return to social media? Yes. There are definitely benefits of social media but it’s important to use it in moderation. If you feel like you need a breather or reset, I highly recommend taking a social media break. The benefits have been incredible for my well-being and family life. #MentalHealth #SocialMediaDetox #FamilyFirst #PersonalGrowth #Spoon

Parenting Influencers Have All the Answers... Just Not for Your Kid😉 Parenting advice is just a click away, with countless influencers offering tips that seem perfect at first glance. But no two children are alike, and expecting a one-size-fits-all solution can often lead to frustration. Parenting is a journey filled with unique experiences, emotions, and moments that only you, as a parent, truly understand. Rather than seeking answers from external sources, the key lies in paying attention to your child. Their emotions, needs, and behaviors are the true guideposts, offering more clarity than any online expert can. Trusting your instincts and building a connection based on love, patience, and understanding is where real progress begins. That doesn't mean advice isn’t helpful—but it’s the kind that comes from those who truly understand your family’s dynamics that matters most. Whether it's a heartfelt conversation with a loved one or simply listening to your inner voice as a parent, your child’s best advocate is you. Let your bond and intuition lead the way, above all else. #WilliezParentsTips! #WilliezPreschool #WilliezFoundation #ParentingJourney #ListenToYourChild #Williez #MindfulParenting #ParentingWithLove #ParentingWisdom

Social Media vs Traditional Media - Which is Worse? 🤔 Soooo there's a lot of press lately about how bad social media is for us and how raising the age of access to social media platforms to 16 will solve our problems. Firstly I think the horse has bolted with social media. We can't rollback what we've already started, but we can promote positive practices to alleviate some of the most worrisome issues. Secondly, traditional media is equally as bad as social media. Fashion magazines continue to airbrush images, the news cycle is a 24/7 debacle of fear and mistrust and every glossy advertisement showcases "highlight reels" of unattainable lifestyles staring at us from supermarket shelves, billboards and bus stops. I don't disagree with raising the age limit on social media platforms to 16, but the actual practice of achieving this without severely invading people's privacy is problematic. How about instead of trying to limit everyone's access, we try to teach and inform from a positive angle instead? All types of media could level up their game to promote better mental health and wellbeing and provide a more positive experience. Pointing the finger at one sector of the media and declaring it the problem seems misguided and unlikely to fix the larger issues at hand. If you'd like to find out some ways you can make your experience with the media (both social and traditional) more positive, read my latest article here 👉 https://lnkd.in/gZMY-VE6 Pop Media.

WeChat: A Case Study in Understanding and Engaging Your Audience

Try This: Put Your Phone Down According to a 2023 Gallup survey, US teens spend an average of 4.8 hours per day on social media. The survey also found that social media usage increases with age, with 13-year-olds averaging 4.1 hours per day and 17-year-olds averaging 5.8 hours. In 2024, the average American adult spends around 2 hours and 14 minutes on social media per day. This equates to about one month per year spent on social media for adults, and teenagers are on average spending about two months per year on social media. When we consider the scarcity and value of time, we cannot afford to spend so much time on social media—not to mention the negative side effects it has on our emotional well-being and the significant impact on our productivity. Harvard professor Arthur Brooks has a strategy that might be helpful for those of us who can become hypnotized by scrolling on social media: * Schedule 30 minutes per day to get your social media fix, but do it on a laptop or desktop, not on the cellphone. *Set a timer for 30 minutes and turn it all off when the timer goes off. * Turn off all social media notifications. * Remove the apps from your phone. Another strategy I like is picking your favorite social media platform, scrolling through only 10 posts, and then turning it off. Setting a limit on the number of posts provides structure and helps to set boundaries. You might be thinking, “There’s no way I can go cold turkey and do all these things.” You might be right, so start with one step and gradually build. Consider putting down the phone and reclaiming your most valuable resource—your time. Lead in all aspects of your life! #TimeManagement #DigitalDetox #SocialMediaBreak #Productivity #Mindfulness #HealthyHabits #BalanceYourLife #TakeControl #LessScreenTime #LiveInTheMoment

Gen Z Creates 90% Of The Trends On Social Media. Why should you care as a business owner? If you want to stay relevant on social media, you need 2 things: 1. Culturally relevant content 2. Valuable content If you have culturally relevant content with little value, no one is going to LIKE IT. If you have valuable content with little cultural relevance, no one is going to SHARE IT. Follow the trends that Gen Z creates and put your own niche/industry spin on it that provides value to your audience. For example, we were filming with a Men’s Sexual Wellness Clinic Owner the other day and we got him to film a Gen Z trend “When you hire a Genz Social Media Manager”. The spin on it for him, was explaining testosterone with Gen Z lingo. We had fun with it lol! 😂
