Social Media and your clients.

Social Media is your Friend.

I love my job, but I often find myself frustrated at the lack of social media integration in the La Crosse area. It’s basically free to tweet, facebook stalk and blog. It takes time, and time is value-able, but an extra hour here and there could put more cash in the pockets of locally owned and operated businesses. So, why aren’t people in small towns using technology to join forces and unite? I have my theories, but I can’t seem to win them over. I know these people are intelligent, they run money making businesses, make livings to support their families and keep employees in line. So…why can’t they just ask me for help? Confusion is often the biggest reason for fear. We tend to shy away from what we don’t understand. In the Coulee Region – social media is the monster hiding under our beds.

How can I make it less scary? Should I create a daily log of activities to garner client interaction? Why wouldn’t a business owner want to interact with customers and potential customers? My biggest inspiration for a do-good social media savvy company is Xtreme Lashes. Twitter, Facebook, blogging, their website and even a virtual newspaper. You tweet them, they respond. They treat their clients like royalty. Their products are flawless and they are very ready to show you their appreciation.

Take a look at their social media initiative for ways to amp up the conversation with your clients. Once you take the time to learn social media tools are insanely valuable.

This was said in a team meeting today: having a Facebook page (or any form of social media for that matter) that is NOT kept current, is not worth having. It's hurting your businesses - as opposed to helping it. It basically is a giant sign across your window that's saying "CLOSED". People want to know deals instantly, be able to ask questions frequently, and the level of your online presence coincides directly with how credible you are as a business.

Florsheim Shoes {closed}

Thank you to all that entered and congrats to EMMA for winning! xo You know when you first meet a handsome boy, in my case it was a bar, and everything about him is near perfect. His chiseled features, dark shiny hair, and stunning light blue eyes. Then you look down, and gasp, he's wearing sneakers. Not your run of the mill, fashion forward footwear, but we are talking Nike, Adidas, etc. running shoes. He's wearing them in a bar, with jeans, and a polo. If you're anything like me, the only times tennis shoes are acceptable are on the elliptical machine or running a half marathon. This boy turned out to be the love of my life, and with little resistance I was able to turn him into my fashionable sidekick. With a little help from Florsheim you can take your Valentine from sorry to sexy with a pair of shoes courtesy of this luxury brand. I've put together some inspirational looks for you. Just remember, you may not able to c...

caged in.

If you follow me on Instagram you've seen these flats pop up numerous times. I own them in nude and red, and to be 100% transparent just purchased a replacement nude pair. While they aren't the gorgeous $900 Valentino Rockstud Cage Flats , I could care less, I bought them because I LOVE the style. I wish I could make myself spend $900 on shoes; however, at this point traveling, decorating my new home and investing in my future are more important. I can't have it all! Those of you with Rockstuds : Yes, I'm jealous. If you'd like the link to these shoes, they are so comfy, follow me on Instagram and send me a direct message - @McKerihan . Please note: I know there are many that have very strong opinions about knockoffs. These shoes do not bare the Valentino tag, nor do they replicate the exact design. They are simply 'inspired by'. If you're wearing anything from Forever 21, Old Navy, Gap, even lower priced brands from Nordstrom chances are your...
