Email marketing, The Content Emporium | Enterprise Nation

&lt;p&gt;The Content Emporium is a branded content agency specialising in creating attractive, engaging and generally wonderful content for your business. We&amp;#39;ve worked with both very large and very small companies, helping them to get their marketing messages to their customers through branded magazines, web content, e-newsletters and social media. Our clients seem to be pretty pleased with the results, too - we give their brands a trusted editorial voice that helps drive business.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We decided to call ourselves The Content Emporium because, like a traditional emporium, we&amp;#39;re a relatively small business and you get a bespoke service from us. We&amp;#39;ll work closely with you to achieve your marketing goals, whether you want more customers, need to reinvent your brand or simply don&amp;#39;t have enough time to communicate your messages in the way you&amp;#39;d like.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The agency is led by Charlotte Laing, a former magazine editor who began taking on freelance clients in 2009. Since then the client list has snowballed and the offices have got bigger but the ethos remains the same as it was at the beginning - a personal, friendly yet professional approach to customer publishing and digital content creation, with creativity at the heart of everything produced.&lt;/p&gt;

Next Generation: Market and access customers for your service

A group for all Next Generation participants. Join other likeminded entrepreneurs and trainers to learn how to stick to weekly goals and be held accountable for your business! If you’re not part of the Next Generation Bootcamp but would like to connect with like-minded business owners, don’t worry, there’s a group for you too!

I’ve worked in marketing for over 20 years, and I love it! No two days are the same and it’s this variety that makes marketing so special for me.
The last company I worked for, Constant Contact, gave me the opportunity to work with 100s of small businesses across the UK. It was the best nearly four years I’ve had in a job! The business owners I met were (and still are) incredible. You could say I was bitten by the small business bug.
In 2016, I was made redundant. I knew I still wanted to work with micro businesses, so when my husband said I should start my own business, I didn’t need a huge amount of convincing. After all, I loved sharing email marketing tips with small business owners, and this way, I could do it all the time. How could I not love that?
Something that has made running my business easier is tech. And not just for marketing. I’m a big advocate for using technology to streamline what I do. Given I’m the only person in my business, anything that makes my life easier is a win in my books. Here’s some of the tech that powers my business:
<ul>
<li>Accounting – I use an online tool that helps me keep track of what I’m spending, generate invoices (and automate sending them), as well as doing my expenses.</li>
<li>Payments – clients that pay me a set amount each month do so by direct debit. I use GoCardless to help me do this. I also use Stripe to help those who want to pay by credit card. It all gets automatically reconciled in my accounting app!</li>
<li>Design – I’m a BIG fan of Canva. I’ve been using it almost as long as I’ve been running my business. Anything is possible in Canva for those of us not blessed with design skills!</li>
<li>Industry knowledge – I have Google Alerts set up so I can keep up with trends in email marketing and the small business world. I also get alerts if I or my business are mentioned anywhere online.</li>
<li>Email marketing – where would I be without it? I use <a href=&apos;https://www.constantcontact.com/partner-offer?pn=marketingbyminal&intent=try&plantype=better&apos; target=&apos;_self&apos;>Constant Contact</a> for sending all my emails – my regular newsletter as well as my automations. It has a bunch of other digital tools too.</li>
<li>AI – OMG, how much time am I saving using AI? Around 4-5 hours a WEEK! That’s right, it’s a massive game-changer. I use ChatGPT.</li>
<li>My mobile – mustn’t forget this! I’m never without it. It helps me run my business when I’m not at my desk.</li>
</ul>
Now, if you struggle with getting your email marketing done, I’d love to hear from you. You didn’t start your business to become an email marketing expert. You do what you do because you love it. I want to help you figure out the email marketing stuff so that you can make money! It’s as simple as that. When you succeed, so do I. Plus, I get a warm glow knowing I helped you. Get in touch and tell me about your email marketing struggles!
