5 ways you’re hurting your business’ social media: 🪦

1. Posting too much personal stuff (on your feed)
While it’s definitely good to have some personal aspects of yourself on your business account, definitely limit the feed posts to about once a month. For stories though, feel free to update them daily with new personal insights! People expect more personal things on stories, whereas your feed should be treated more like your portfolio of work.

2. Never checking your DM requests
This is something that I’m also guilty of! They don’t always show up right away and so you can go for days without knowing you’ve got someone trying to get into contact with you! Especially as people use social media as a way to contact you about their issues, it can lead to a bad customer experience if you don’t reply.

3. Ignoring your analytics
Even if you’re not particularly looking to grow your following or have loads of likes, your analytics will give you insight into what posts have previously performed well with your audience. You can then use this to adjust your future content plans and experiment with different formats and topics!

4. Not using all the features
Platforms are always releasing new features, so it’s always worth having a play around with things such as “on this day” on TikTok or the new Instagram individual photo caption feature! It keeps things interesting for your audience (and you!).

5. Being overly serious or casual
This is definitely more personal opinion than the rest of these, but it’s important that you try to balance your brand with professionalism. It can make it hard for customisers to connect with you if your brand voice seems too robotic. Likewise, referring to customers as “hun” or “darling” can make some feel uncomfortable. Simultaneously, it might be something that your ideal customer likes, so it’s important to do market research into your customers regardless!

I’ve created a Substack and my first article is out! 💌

It talks about the recent , from the point of view of someone who’s been watching beauty YouTubers for more than 10 years. I wanted to give a fair analysis (pun not intended), and look at it more from a marketing point of view, rather than a critique of anyone involved

It’s free at the moment (and will stay that way for the time being) because I want a space where I can talk beyond just social media marketing and go into commentary about social media culture more broadly

What happens when you work with me? 💜🥀

Here’s a timeline on what it look like to work with me, an alt/gothic social media manager who’s based in Brighton!

1. You get into contact with me to arrange a consultation call. The next step will be for me to send a discovery questionnaire (which can be done in the meeting, so I consider it optional at this stage)

2. Attend a consultation call - we’ll go over your needs, strengths/weaknesses etc to ensure that my service is right for you.

3. Social media proposal - I’ll do some market research into your industry and competitors and create a preliminary proposal with plans for the social media strategy.

4. Proposal presentation - we’ll meet to discuss the social media proposal and how it meets your specific needs.

5. Paperwork - if you’re happy with everything (which I’m confident you will be), it’ll be time to sign any paperwork and the deposit will be due (50% of the full package amount)

6. Full research and planning - I’ll create a full report that expands on the proposal and includes:
- Accounts audit
- Customer personas
- Competitor analysis
- Full content calendar
- Pre-shoot planning

7. Shooting and editing - I’ll come to your location and record everything that’s needed for the content. It’s also at this point that I’ll create any graphics and finalise captions.

8. Approval and posting - posts will be sent to you as they’re made for your approval (and any amendments if needed). Once they’ve been approved, they’ll be posted as in the content calendar.

9. End of month report - another audit will take place and analytics will be compared to inform next month’s strategy. The next month’s content will be planned and the process repeats!

DM or comment if you want to book a consultation slot!

My newest pattern, inspired by my many hours playing Splatoon! 🦑🫟

I’ve been playing Splatoon since the first game, so it’s safe to say that I like it a lot! I have so much appreciation for the designers, you can really tell that they put their all into designing all the different aspects of the world.

I’m not selling this one due to it definitely being a violation of copyright, but I have lots of other completely original designs up on Redbubble, Zazzle and Contrado!

All the different motifs were illustrated using a and Designer, no tracing or AI!

If you want a custom print for your business, whether it’s for marketing or merch, you can commission me for your own pattern (starting at only £30)

Things I refuse to feel guilty for: as an alternative social media manager

Not working with people who love GenAI content
I’m all for creatives and not replacing them with soulless replicas. I have an anti-AI policy in my contract which states that anything I make for the purpose of social media marketing for a business can’t be used to train any AI or LLMs. Plus, what’s the point in hiring me if I use AI, you could just do that yourself if that’s what you’re looking for, right?.

Not being available 24/7
My office hours are from 10am-7pm everyday. I’m quite strict on myself and good at delegating time so that I don’t burn out. After all, it’s only me at Ashen Rose Media! I sometimes schedule posts out of these hours, but that doesn’t mean that I’m actually “on the clock” so to speak. When it comes to messaging me, I make it clear that you can send a message to me any time, but I might not reply until my next working day.

Declining clients who want minimalism only
I’m an alternative social media manager, which means that I specialise in brands with niche and unconventional branding. It’s not that I think I’m too good for minimalism, but I’m more likely to enjoy working with a business who enjoys vivid colour palettes! I’m happy to direct you in the direction of someone who would be good for you though

What’s the difference between an alternative social media manager and a regular one? 📲

An Alt/alternative social media manager is a term I use to describe people who work with unconventional and niche brands. Being a part of alternative subcultures themselves, they have first-hand experience with businesses who want to market themselves towards other weirdos. I established Ashen Rose Media because I was tired of seeing neutral-palettes and minimalist social media marketing, and knew that I could be someone that alternative brands could trust with their social media marketing!

My approach to social media isn’t to appeal to as many people as possible, like a lot of conventional brands want, it’s to tap into niche markets and create a strong community of loyal customers!

However, that doesn’t mean that being a “regular” social media manager is bad by any means. In fact, I dislike using terms such as that because I think it can be divisive and that’s not what I think social media should be about!

Content ideas for: skincare brands 🧖🏻‍♀️🧴

🛁 Build a routine - take different skin types and show what products you have for it. You could target specific seasons, such as postpartum, post-workout etc and make multiple posts for daily, weekly and monthly routines. This shows that you’re thinking about how your products can help people long-term, not just as a one-off purchase. Suits both video and carousel format.

🍊 Skin ingredient cheat sheet - a post to pin to the top of your profile which states what you use each active ingredient in your formulas for. Perfect for people who are new to skincare and want an easy way to see what products could be for them. Works best as a carousel, although you could also expand on it in more detail in video format.

🧪 The science behind our brand - what testing have you done to formulate your products? Are there any specific studies that you sue in the formulation of your products? Share them! People love transparency and want to see how you got to where you are currently. Better suited to a carousel, although you could also make video versions that go through the studies individually.

📆 Skincare then vs now - compare skincare myths that people used to believe and how your products are used in the correct way now (e.g. over exfoliating with physical exfoliants vs gentle weekly exfoliation). It shows that your knowledge isn’t outdated but also pokes fun in a relatable way. Best as a video but works as a carousel too!
