First off, you can find my periscope handle by searching, @SunnyKrissy but secondly you guys, I am so excited to share with you why you need to be periscoping. I cannot CONTAIN my excitement as I write this. If you are not on Periscope yet, get your life and GET ON PERISCOPE. It is so fantastic and if you’re a blogger, what a great way to connect on a personal level with your readers.
But that’ll be a different topic for a different time, today I want to share with you guys, why, if you are a small business, why you NEED to be on periscope, like yesterday.
1. With one Click, You have a Whole New Set of Eyes.
There are so many people on periscope, but they’re different than everyone else on your Facebook page, that means new eyes and new business to your brand/business.
Truthfully guys, with one click, you have a whole new set of eyes and all new customers, with just one click! You can share anything you want, and you can promote anything and everything you want with a NEW AUDIENCE. Every single time I’ve scoped I’ve had new people come into my scopes.
2. You’re Open and Unedited
People will gain your trust and your opinion because you are raw, authentic and unedited. If you burp, you burp, and that is life and everyone burps. You can give your customers a great behind the scenes of your business. They’ll love that, we all like to be a little nosey sometimes..
The fact that you can be so real, honest and unedited is so beautiful, and your customers will love and adore that. When someone opens up and is real with you, you feel like you’re that much closer with them.
3. It’s Totally Real Time.
Although to some, it might seem frightening, the fact that you have the opportunity to connect with your clients and customers and answer any questions they might have or if you have any questions for them you can interact with them right then and there.
You can announce your new product launch, run a giveaway, do a live tutorial, a live Q&A or even film at an event that you’re hosting.
4. Live Training Sessions and Tutorials
If you’re a fashion boutique, showcase 3 way’s to wear this top, if you sell jewelry share tips on how to care for specific metals, if you’re a vintage store share how you get rid of the smell from a garment that has had a past life, if you sell leather products, share how to care for the leather products, if you sell art, periscope you painting or sculpting an art piece. If you’re a realtor, do home tours and tips for open houses, etc.. You guys, I hope you’re understanding the endless opportunities Periscope can bring you.
5. It’s a Constant Reminder with one Click to Your Customers That You Exist
If you’re a boutique or a local store, if people aren’t in town, they will forget that you exist, especially if you’re not selling online. This gives you the opportunity with one click give your clients or customers a reminder that you’re here, and you should come and shop.
6. The Beginning of the Beginning
You’re literally at the beginning of the beginning Periscope is only five months old so really, look at it like you’re at the beginning of Facebook. GET ON IT.
I hope these helped, and I hope you can feel my passion as I wrote this post. I know it was super high energy but that’s my genuine feeling about periscope. It’s something that brings me a lot of happiness because I see the potential of where it’s going and how it can be game changer for your business. If you felt like a little something in your business was missing something, please consider this being that, take it from a sign of God and take control and just start scoping. Drop the fears, the nerves and the on-going negative talks in your head about it. Just do it and stop second guessing yourself. I believe in you and your business JUST DO IT.
I love you guys, xo
