Marketing Your Business For Success with Canva

Marketing Your Business For Success with Canva. As promised, here is the platform that I use to create stunning marketing campaigns.

Marketing Your Business For Success with Canva

Canva is free. It is a great design tool for business.

Let’s just right in and allow me give you, amazing women of God, a great tip. When you create your free account with Canva I suggest that you upgrade to a pro account not long after you’ve given Canva a try because you’ll have access to some great features that you can only get with a pro account, but it’s well worth it. 

Another tip I want to share with you is this. When you start to design in Canva you should make it your own. In other words, don’t use the exact template that they offer because others maybe using that same template. You’ll want to change the colors and wording, but not necessarily the layout of the template. This way you can be sure that your creation is original and unique.

I’ve been using Canva for years and recently I upgraded to pro and it has been amazing. You can make videos as well with Canva.

Check out Canva and see what you think.  At least try it and see if you like it. I think it will serve your business well and you will find that your marketing campaigns are going to help you to prosper in business.

Be blessed,

Cyndi

How I Do Marketing

The past two months have been extremely busy for me and for my business, Beauty and the Face. My goal, this year, is to grow my sales.

I intend to add more products to my store in an effort to make more money.  I am constantly reading and researching how to grow my sales. One can never stop learning. Honing my skills is something I enjoy doing especially with things evolving in the world with every heart beat.

Now anyone who knows me knows that I like to come up with my own unique ideas which just seems to work when it comes to marketing my business.  Another thing about me is this; I’m going to give my customers the very best products that I can provide.

As a female entrepreneur I think it is imperative to have my heart committed to every aspect of my business which means I’m going to offer the best customer service because my customers deserve only the best.

When it comes to my business there is one thing that you will never find me doing as a women entrepreneurs and business owner, and that is false marketing. What do I mean by this.

First let me say this. I believe in my body butters, sugar scrubs, lip balms and shower steamers which means if people want them they will buy them without me ever having to do false marketing campaigns like order now because when they’re gone they’re gone and they won’t be coming back and then a few months later that same product is being reintroduced to my audience. I don’t the dishonesty that can be found in those kinds of marketing campaigns, but for some companies this kind of marketing works for them.

I am going to always be authentic and honest and give my customers the true story behind every hand whipped custom order body butter I hand craft for my beautiful beauties.

I enjoy creating, writing and designing my business changing marketing  campaigns because they tell a story and they get the job done! 

Here’s a video that I created yesterday for the ad I’m going to purchase for a few of my social media accounts. I hope you take the time to have a peek. It’s a very short attention grabbing video that I hope my customers will enjoy watching. Everything I do I do with my customers in mind because after all I would not have a business if it weren’t for my faithful beauties.

Lets Finish The Year Strong Starting Today

Let’s finish the year strong starting today.

Today when my son called me, I told him that he needed to clean up his office and organize the papers in his office. He said, “I did it already”. I said, “Good; it doesn’t make sense for you to have that beautiful office with papers covering every inch of your desk and floor”.

He then went on to tell me that he told my youngest son, his baby brother, that when 2021 arrives they are going to do things differently.  I remember him telling me that same exact thing last year about 2020. Wisdom is the principal thing, therefore get wisdom and with all thy getting get understanding.

Lets Finish The Year Strong Starting Today

Women entrepreneurs, I want to make a powerful suggestion to you.

If you have plans for restructuring your business, do it today. Do not wait until the year 2021 to incorporate your brilliant ideas to continue building your business.

Here are a few suggestions to help you to get clear on your strategies so that when 2021 ushers in you will be way ahead of the game to explode sales. You don’t want to be bombarded with those tedious things that can make your head spin.

Let’s Finish The Year Strong Starting Now!

You may want to:

  • Clean up old emails. Delete them from your files.
  • Be sure to unsubscribe from any emails that do not serve you in any way.
  • Make and name new file folders on your computers and place all relevant files inside that folder.
  • Throw out any old papers that you do not need.
  • Clean out your desk drawers. Get rid of any old pens that do not write!
  • Get rid of old notes to yourself that you don’t need.

Once you’ve gone through this list or whether you have your own list the goal is to finish the year strong and bless your business.

Women entrepreneurs, you are remarkable ladies. Continue using gifts for they, like you, are rare. You are rich, abundant, prosperous and amazing. You can do this. If you feel stuck or if you get stuck, walk away, come back and allow the Holy Spirit to speak to your heart. It is then that you will flourish and be at ease moving forward to complete the tasks before you.

Be blessed amazing women of God,

Cynthia

Don’t Be Afraid To Ask For The Sale

Don’t be afraid to ask for the sale is my new mantra! And a great successful mantra it is to have.

Being an entrepreneur means stepping out of your comfort zone and doing well, the uncomfortable.

What may feel uncomfortable to you is the very thing that is going to propel you into prosperity and success.

I want to share a short story with you if you don’t mind. It is a brief and to the point kind of story.

Some of you  may know that I founded Beauty and the Face, along with my other precious pearls. I love what I do and I enjoy passing my blessings on to others in endless ways.

When I started out talking about skincare, it was because I had this one minor skin problem that seem to blossom every month and I wanted to share my journey with the girls who lived on the side of my face without an invitation.

Beauty and the Face was birthed and I am hand whipping body butters that I and my customers adore.

Don’t Be Afraid To Ask For The Sale And I Asked For The Sale!

November and December are usually very busy for me due to the Christmas Season.

Even though I shop super early for my family’s Christmas gifts, I always find myself doing a million things to ensure that we all get to enjoy the Christmas season all year long. I enjoy it so much that I go above and beyond baking cookies, brownies and cakes so that my husband gets to enjoy his sweet treats all season long. It brings me much joy knowing that my boys’  stomachs are smiling.

This season I have been extra busy hand crafting O Shea butter creams for my customers. My new scents came out in the fall and then I introduced my Christmas scents with pride and joy.

When the first day of December came in I gladly presented my body butters to my Facebook friends and family and received about four large orders in multiples. In all the large orders that I receive I give a beautiful gift that I order from Macy’s every year since I’ve been in business. My customers love this special gift that sparkles and shines.

Gifting, I believe, should be a large part of any business. It sends a loving message to the customer that you truly appreciate their business. I am grateful when I get orders for my body butter creams no matter how small or large. There is a sense of gratefulness when orders pour in because I know that I am giving my customers a high quality product that makes their skin feel skinsational. This is extremely important to me.

Do you want to know how I was able to procure more sales for my Shea body butter business? You got it! I asked for the sale and I did it clothed with confidence and faith.

I said to myself, Cynthia, be super bold and ask for the sale.

It was then that I picked up the phone and sent text messages to those who have never tried my product and I asked them if they would order a 4 oz jar of love from me. Out of the five that I asked, four said yes. The task was effortless and I am thankful. The excitement that overcame me gave me the inspiration to ask for more sales. My heart is still singing and not so much because of the money that I made, but because my customers get to try an amazing skincare product that really does glow their fibers.

There was one friend who, when I asked for the sale, went all around the globe, just being real and honest, and came back, never answered, but continued her own conversation as if I had never asked her to make a purchase from my online store. I was disappointed, not that she didn’t buy the body butter cream from me, but for the mere fact that she never even answered my request.

I told myself I will not be asking her to purchase anything from me again. There’s a history there and I won’t go into the details, but I wanted you to know that even though you may know what the answer will be before you ask the question, don’t be afraid to ask for the sale because you probably already know that not everyone you ask is not going to buy from you.

And so I say that I am happy that I opened my mouth and asked for sales.

I am deeply thankful that I stepped off of my comfort path to ask for what I wanted. God’s word says you have not because you ask not. Now I don’t know if this verse of Scripture applies to every situation when it comes to business, but I do know that if I want something, I cannot be afraid to ask for what I want or desire.

Get your business out in the forefront and let the world know what you are doing. If you are selling a premium product and you’ve tested it yourself and it works a true miracle for you and you know that it has the potential to work for your customers, then tell them about it and then go ahead and ask for the sale…they will be glad you did when your product arrives.

No go and don’t be afraid to ask for the sale!

Be blessed,

Cynthia

One Reason Why You Should Become An Entrepreneur

One Reason Why You Should Become An EntrepreneurOne reason why you should become an entrepreneur, you are extraordinary.

The list for why you should become an entrepreneur goes beyond what any human being will ever know.

My son’s friend, who is like a son to me, once said that his college professor told him that if something is amazing then that thing is pretty spectacular!

Well, that would be you awesome women of God.

I am here to tell you that you are incredible, remarkable and sensational on many levels.

Empowered, you are extremely gifted, talented and skilled.

My question is this; if being an entrepreneur is in your future why not begin taking the steps to becoming one of the greatest entrepreneurs to ever grace the world of female entrepreneurs.

Right about now would be the time for you to start planning and journaling while renewing a right spirit within you! 

One Reason Why You Should Become An Entrepreneur, Amazing Women of God

Now is the time to make YOU your focus.

And while it may take a little time to collect your thoughts on what your niche will be, one thing that can help to make your journey into entrepreneurship easier is to ask yourself a few simple questions which are:

What is it that I love to do?

What are the gifts God has bestowed on me that I can use for the glory of His name?

What is it that I am deeply passionate about?

What is my skill set?

Am I confident enough to start my own business?

Do I have faith enough to do this thing?

Do I really want to be an entrepreneur?

What about money; how much money do/will I need to start my business?

These are all great and valid questions. Maybe you’ll ask yourself a few of these questions or perhaps you’ll be asking yourself all of these questions.

One thing for sure is that only you can answer these questions and if you should get stuck and need help, the Holy Spirit can and will give you confirmation; all you have to do is ask Him.

I’ve been asking the Holy Spirit all kinds of questions where my businesses are concerned and He always answers.

One Reason Why You Should Become An Entrepreneur

When I started Beauty and the Face, Love for the Skin, Luxurious Body Butter, I was so very passionate about it because I had started a stand-alone blog about skincare ten years prior and when I decided to start my own skincare line of Shea butter moisturizers it became the baby that I am nurturing right now.

When I started Cyndi’s Light Work Designs it was crystal clear to me that I was on the right path because I loved to design. All these things are gifts from God.

I also have this great desire to create beautiful masterpieces that warm and touch lives in an empowering way.

In doing all these things and more, I have been fearless and unstoppable! Bold and courageous, I discovered some things about myself which is I don’t have to be afraid to do what God has been calling me to do and I am doing exactly that and I do it with a grateful heart and passion.

It is exciting to know that you have the ability to change your life just like that. Beginning with your thought process, you have the power to do amazing things. Why not start now and start enjoying your life in a brand new light. Remember, mindset is everything!!!

Get your brand up and running now. Why wait? Start your business right where you are and let the flow of abundance, wealth, riches and prosperity come to you without delay!

Don’t you know that you deserve to take this explosive journey? You are going to learn a great deal about yourself when you make up your mind that you are more powerful than you ever knew.

Enjoy the journey!
