Still Running the Whole Show By Yourself? Here's the Reminder You Didn’t Know You Needed.
Let me guess:
You’re the owner, the marketer, the customer service rep, the inventory manager, the person who picks up the event flyers, AND the one who remembers to bring snacks to the community meeting.
All… you.
If your social media planner is currently a sticky note with “Post Something??” scribbled on it — welcome. You’re not alone. And you’re not doing it wrong.
You’re just doing what most small-town business owners are doing:
keeping it all going with limited time, limited help, and unlimited heart.
But here’s what I want you to know:
Marketing your business doesn’t need to mean daily posts or professional photoshoots.
It can look like:
🟡 An auto-reply that buys you breathing room
🟡 A quick update to your Google listing so people know when you're open
🟡 A once-a-month post that says, “Hey, we’re still here — and here’s what we’ve got this week.”
That’s it.
Simple. Realistic. Sustainable.
You don’t need to show up everywhere.
You just need to show up where your people are — and in a way that works for you.
No guilt. No algorithms dictating your day.
Just honest connection from one neighbor to another.
So if you're running the whole show right now?
Here’s your permission slip to do less — but do it with care.
📌 Pick one thing from the list below and check it off this week:
Set up a simple FB/IG auto-reply
Update your business hours on Google
Post one photo with a short update (yes, it can just be your counter and a “Hi!”)
And then… breathe.
You’re doing better than you think.
💛 With heart (and half-warm coffee),
Michelle
