2024 Holiday Marketing - Tips for Small Businesses
Have you started planning your holiday marketing?
If not, this is your reminder that this needs to happen ASAP.
Small Business Saturday is on November 30th.
Which means you only have 3 weeks to nail down how you’re going to attract all those holiday shoppers to your business.
Here are 3 ways you can attract customers during this holiday shopping season:
Why Authenticity is Your Best Marketing Tool
That’s right, showing up authentically is the number one way a small business owner can grow their following. Gimmicks, trends, or flash sales (while those all have their place in advertising) don’t compare to consistently showing up, as you, for the people who follow your business.
How do I know this?
I’ve done it.
Community Over Competition: MAC Retreats
If you’re a woman in the Tri-Cities, and you’ve been looking for an uplifting network of supportive women, join one of these Saturday afternoon events. You won’t be sorry.
Group Branding Opportunity: Final 2024 Event
These sessions are a blast. They include perks like updating your marketing images (naturally), meeting other entrepreneurs, and experiencing a fun and laid-back photoshoot that takes the pressure off of trying to look perfect. You get to relax, enjoy connecting with other women, and be in a room of hype girls telling you how great you look.
What could be better?

Branding pictures aren’t for specific industries,
they’re great for anyone who’s starting a business, a side hustle, or a personal brand.
I have branding photography clients who are creatives, boutique owners, massage therapists, realtors, restauranteurs, financial coaches, and so many other industries.
Leaning In: Why I’m revamping how I do business
My mindset shifts are happening slowly, but they’re happening.
And my business is going to benefit because of it.
My work is going to go back to focusing on the heart of why I started. To create gorgeous images and help people feel like the best, most authentic version of themselves. Because when I get back to the heart of why I started, and focus on making every single client experience as beautiful as I can, I know the rest will follow.
Loving Yourself and Why That Matters
Remember, self-care and self-love are not selfish; they are necessary pieces of a healthy, balanced life. By taking care of ourselves, we’re ensuring that we have enough to give to continue supporting others and contribute positively to the world around us. So, take a deep breath, listen to your needs, and give yourself the care and love you deserve. You are worth it.
Product Photography with JK Photos
A study by VWO (a visual website optimization firm) revealed that websites with high-quality images experienced a 35% increase in conversions compared to those with low-quality images or stock photography.
Let’s be clear: the pictures you take aren’t bad. But bringing in a pro is proven to equal more sales. So if you’re ready to grow your business, sell more products, and earn more money, a professional photographer is an excellent investment.

Photoshoot in Puerto Rico: Group Branding and Growth
So when I say that my group branding sessions are fire, you better believe it. 😉 These women walked away excited and raving about how good I made them feel. They were so excited that I offered this while we were all together, and I got a ton of love after I sent them their galleries too.
In fact, I bonded so hard with one of them that we still text each other randomly and stay in touch with each others lives.
The power of connection is so strong.
Let’s create community together.

If you’re in the Tri-Cities, WA area, you want to check this place out.
It’s called the Selfie Studio and it’s located in Downtown Kennewick. This space is so cool, it’s basically a dozen or so little areas that are totally decked out with different backdrops and props. Not only is it a great space to spend an afternoon of wholesome fun creating pictures and videos with friends, they’re also a great spot to get team photos with your staff.
