Hello, entrepreneurs and social media lovers! It's been another busy and exciting week here at The Consult Centre in Morecambe. We’ve got some news, insights, tips, and a pinch of Lancashire charm just for you. Let's dig in!
A Bittersweet Farewell to Khaalisa
We've experienced a flurry of emotions this week as we bid farewell to the brilliant Khaalisa. Starting with us as a young apprentice, she’s blossomed into a fantastic business professional. Our sponsorship through her college and University of Central Lancashire marketing degree has been nothing short of rewarding.
Now, as she takes her next steps with our pals at Two Stories Studio in Lancaster, we're proud and excited for her future. Khaalisa, you've been an inspiring part of our TCC team, and we wish you all the luck in the world on your new adventure. Robert Ellis, she'll be an asset in her new role, so take care of her!

December Posting Ideas for Small to Medium Businesses 🎄
As we all know, December is the month's highlight for connecting with customers and spreading holiday cheer. To make the most out of this festive season, here are some jolly ideas to keep your social media buzzing:
Share Your Holiday Decor - Got a fabulous festive setup in your office or shop? Show it off! Share behind-the-scenes photos or even a time-lapse video of your team getting into the holiday spirit.
Introduce a ‘12 Days of Christmas’ Countdown - Encourage your followers to engage with a daily series of posts leading up to Christmas. From giveaways and discounts to sharing fun facts about your business, the possibilities are endless.
Support Local and Small Businesses - Feature a local business partner or showcase products from a nearby artisan. Your support for local talent will go a long way and captivate an audience who values community spirit.
User-Generated Content - Invite your followers to share photos using your product or service, with a festive twist. Offer a small reward for the best entry to encourage participation.
New Year's Resolutions - As the year's end approaches, share your business’s goals for the coming year and ask your followers to share theirs. This creates an engaging discussion and brings a personal touch to your brand.
Don't forget to mix these in with your regular content and perhaps sprinkle in a touch of humour or heartfelt wishes to resonate more with your audience. Remember, a dash of personality goes a long way! 🎁 Ready to deck the halls of social media with us? Give us a ring at The Consult Centre and let's make this December one to remember!
