Active, intelligent, and smart packaging encompasses advanced packaging technologies designed to enhance traditional packaging by interacting with the product or environment to extend shelf life, monitor freshness, and relay information. Active packaging works by releasing or absorbing substances, such as oxygen or moisture, to maintain product quality. Intelligent packaging integrates sensors, indicators, or RFID tags to provide real-time data on conditions like temperature, freshness, and pH levels. Meanwhile, smart packaging may use QR codes or NFC technology to engage consumers with details about the product’s origin, quality, or usage. These innovations improve product safety, minimize waste, and create interactive experiences for consumers.

I was recently reminded that "Portable Typewriters" exist for a few hundred dollars, and are marketed as "the only way to write on the go, distraction free with the small built in screen" and I would like to give everyone who, like me, is on a very very small budget and can't afford to drop $400 or $500 on a typewriter...

...here is an actual budget option for around $40, 10x cheaper, that you can use with any smart phone that has bluetooth built in, which is most modern phones.

[ID: A photo of a folding bluetooth keyboard by the brand ProtoArc, in the plain black version, which is a thin but full-sized Qwerty keyboard including a numberpad on the right hand side, with a few extra functional keys on the top right for use with a phone. End ID]

This keyboard is around $43; if you want a colored version (grey, silver, white, blue, or green green) it goes up to $53.

This keyboard has a charge that lasts around a week or two (depending on length of daily use) and fully charges in around half an hour or less with a USB-Type C charger, included in the package.

Once you pair it with your phone, it will pair automatically when you fully unfold it, and disconnect when you fold it back up; no on or of switches needed.

If you are someone who has been tempted by the concept of writing on the go, writing on a small screen so you're not distracted by a full desktop PC or laptop, but balked at the price of $300-$600+, please consider trying out a bluetooth keyboard with a phone you already own for $40, and see if you are either satisfied with this small price point and stick with it, or take the plunge and buy a portable typewriter now that you know the concept works for you, instead of shelling out a few hundred and never using it.

The folding keyboard is small enough you can fit it in a small carrying bag, and if you have a large fanny pack that would probably work as well; I have a small purse/sling bag that I use which fits perfectly, so literally anywhere I go that has a flat surface, I can whip out my keyboard and keep on writing my novel :)

The keyboard works with any app on your phone, so you can write in Google Docs, another word processing app, or directly on 4TheWords mobile website!

But yes, if you are interested in writing on the go and are on a small budget, I highly reccomend this keyboard, it is one of the reasons I have been able to write so much in the past few months.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09TW35H1Z

No, this is not an affiliate link, and I am not making any money off of sharing this link; I am just someone who is living paycheck to paycheck who really loves to write and don't want people to think the only way to write while traveling is by dropping a few hundred dollars on a device--

-- especially if you are someone who for disability reasons cannot easily use the small keyboard on a phone screen. There are cheaper, more accessible options out there, if you're looking at non-medical electronics in a similar vein to "portable typewriter", there are plenty of cheaper, more versatile options out there as long as you can think of the most simplified versions to look up alternatives.

campaign pains (a kazansky for america fic)

rating: teen

pairings: tom “iceman” kazansky/pete “maverick” mitchell

summary: Pete’s the whole reason Tom’s here, in a campaign office in San Diego preparing to run for president with a bunch of people he doesn’t know surrounding him. If he had it his way, they’d be at home debating about his next move as governor or planning a trip to the hangar to continue working on their plane. But no, he’s trying to run for president of the United States. Because Pete thinks he’s the man for the job and these are the people to get him there.

a/n: Another (long awaited by me and you) installment of the Top Gun West Wing au! I’m so excited to share this snippet from the first presidential campaign with all of you and I hope you like it as much as I do. As always, thank you to my cheerleaders Tali (winterscaptain) and Qvo (qvid-pro-qvo/damesforjamesbarnes), without you both I don’t know if any words or concepts in my brain would end up on paper.

read this fic on ao3

“No, I’m not going to do it.” Tom’s tone brokers no argument, his stony glare stopping everyone in their tracks. 

“I know it feels strange,” Natasha says, her voice patient but firm, “but trust us, it’s going to work.” 

Tom sighs, eyes glancing over to Pete who nods his head sagely. As if anything Pete Mitchell does is sagely. Or smart.

Pete’s the whole reason Tom’s here, in a campaign office in San Diego preparing to run for president with a bunch of people he doesn’t know surrounding him. If he had it his way, they’d be at home debating about his next move as governor or planning a trip to the hangar to continue working on their plane. But no, he’s trying to run for president of the United States. Because Pete thinks he’s the man for the job and these are the people to get him there. 

Of course, Natasha Trace bring his tentative press secretary and current pr coach is more Slider’s fault than Pete’s. Because of course, when Tom left the Navy, Slider had to follow. Wouldn’t fly with anyone else, the bastard, and put that big head of his to use working in communications. 

And now he’s here, Slider’s here as head of communications and the only person Tom’s previously worked with on this staff they’ve cobbled together. Slider brought in Natasha, a Navy lieutenant he’d worked with briefly before she transitioned to the reserves and a job in marketing. Tom has to admit she’s got a quick wit and eye for image, a no-bullshit attitude that’s going to make her a force in the press room, he just knows it. 

Doesn’t mean he likes her plan of leaning into his Naval background for the campaign when he’s been out of the Navy for far longer than he was ever in it. Natasha wants him to call on that to show he can be a commander in chief while also pointing to his political resume to show he wants what’s best for the people. The plan is to frame him as a whole package president, like an FDR. Able to lead the troops when necessary but also great for the everyday citizen. 

“Look, Mr. Governor, I know it feels weird and probably will for a while, but I’ve seen your service records and by all accounts, you should have had a long and illustrious career. You could have been a admiral by now!” Natasha argues. “That knowledge, that instinct, it doesn’t go away. Your career was shortened and you elected to go into politics instead of fighting for that career or going into the private sector. None of this takes away from your Naval career nor your knowledge of our armed forces. It makes you a formidable candidate on that front and not pointing it out would, frankly, be stupid.” 

“Lieutenant Trace-“ 

“Nat.”

“Then you call me Tom,” he counters. “Anyway, Nat, calling back to and pointing out a less than ten year stint in the Navy just feels cheap. I’ve won every other election I’ve been in without bringing it up. I believe I can get through this one without it as well.” 

“None of those other elections were for a position that includes Commander in Chief in its title.”

“My point still stands. I can get through this election without running an ad or doing a stump speech about my time serving.” 

“Ice, listen to her. She’s right. You need to show people-"

“You went to Annapolis. You went to flight school. You re-upped your contract,” Natasha interrupts. “You were in for longer than you say and everything you did points to someone who wanted a career with the Navy. Who wanted to be an admiral. So why shouldn’t you bring it up?”

Tom has to take a breath, remind himself that all Nat's done is look up a service record, something easily accessible to her as a former Navy pilot. She's not purposefully trying to drag up a painful situation, a lost career that Tom still occasionally mourns.

But it still strikes a nerve. It still makes him exhale sharply and pinch the bridge of his nose.

"The answer is no. I'm not doing it."

And he walks out.

Pete doesn't follow him, just looks at Nat, standing there with her jaw slightly opened in shock.

"Look," he sighs, turning towards Nat, "don't take it personally. Our military careers…they didn't end the way either of us wanted." Pete pauses, takes a breath. "You aren't wrong, Tom wanted a long career, wanted more than the years he got. But, there were things and people that got in his way and made that impossible. So he got out and went into politics. He's good at it, likes it, but the Navy is still a sore subject for him."

"I understand that, but it's still something that can help him."

"Give it time, Phoenix," Slider interjects. "Ice was my pilot and Mav's sugarcoating it. All Ice wanted was the Navy, to be the best and climb the ranks. Being told that wouldn't and couldn't happen, it hurt more than he ever let on to anyone. He took it on the chin though and just…pivoted. Changed directions and careers and went on his way. He might act like it's all okay, but it wasn't for a while. Still isn't. So give him time. Mav and I can talk to him, but just cool it on leaning into the Navy, ok?"

Nat nods, first at Slider then at Pete, before turning on her heel and walking out.

Pete sighs, leaning against the back of a chair. "That probably could've gone better, huh?"

"Gee, you think, Mav?" Slider scoffs.

They're both silent for a moment, taking stock of the situation and silently standing off for who will go talk to Tom.

"He's your husband, talk to him, Mav."

"But-"

"Nope. Your husband, your idea for him to run, you talk to him."

"Trace was your pick, you hired her."

"Go. Talk. To. Tom."

Pete stands up, sighing dramatically, before exiting the room in search of Tom.

"We're not married, Slider," he calls out before the door closes.

"Yeah, all but," Slider mutters to himself, rolling his eyes and silently lamenting the fact that Pete Mitchell is still part of his life, still a pain in his ass, and basically his boss on this campaign.

Outside, Pete finds Tom easily enough. He settles next to him on the little porch outside their office building, silent for now.

"It's not that I don't want to avoid it completely," Tom starts, breaking their comfortable silence. "I just don't want it to be a main pillar of the campaign."

Pete hums, understanding but noncommittal for the moment.

"The Navy didn't want me, that'll come out. It will come out that I wasn't the right fit for the Navy, for the career I wanted. And then how will it look? Like I'm trying to lie about my career? It won't end well Pete, you know that."

"There's a chance it doesn't end well," Pete counters. "But, we won't let it get to that point. I won't let us test the waters like that," he promises. "I think for this race, we'll have to mention your career and the aspirations you had. The accolades and success you earned. But we won't lean on it. Slider and I will get Nat to back off of that bit, make sure it's part of the platform, part of your profile, without being a main pillar."

"There's still a high chance it all backfires."

"We'll neutralize that chance."

"How?"

Pete wraps an arm around Tom's waist, pulls him in. "We still have friends in Annapolis, still know people in the Navy, high up ones too. We talk to them Tom, talk to them and make sure we're all on the same page here. That you just want to talk about your career to lend some context to you as a candidate, as a leader, a potential commander in chief. Nothing more," Pete explains.

Tom turns towards him, a frown still on his face. "And when I get asked about the discharge?"

"You tell them the truth. You got an honorable discharge. You still have your record and awards intact and you turned to politics to continue helping your country. You don't have to lie, you don't have to go into detail. Everything will just be the facts. Leave any spins to Nat and Slider."

Tom lets out a heavy sigh and nods, resting his forehead on Pete's shoulder. "I reacted badly, didn't I?"

"You reacted predictably," Pete reassures him. "Nat pushed about something you don't usually get push back on, so you pushed back in a similar manner. Anyone would be hard pressed to blame you for that. Slider and I gave her some context and she's backing off for right now. But, an apology from you would go a long way."

Tom snorts. "What has the world come to, that Pete Mitchell is telling me to apologize to someone?"

"Hey, I know how to apologize."

"Knowing how to and actually apologizing are two different things, Pete."

"Yeah well, running for governor and running for president are two different things that take two different campaign approaches."

Tom narrows his eyes a little, but Pete can tell there's no heat behind the glare. Tom knows Pete's got him, has made his point and made it cleanly. His face relaxes after a moment, a chagrined expression taking over.

"Alright, you're right, and so is Nat," Tom concedes. "We can talk about the Navy, but only after we clear it with them and we aren't going to lean on it. We haven't needed it before and while this campaign is different, I don't want to bring it up more than necessary. My naval career isn't what makes me fit for the office."

"We can work with that."

Tom sags against Pete, all fight leaving his body for a moment as he soaks in the presence of his partner. They stand there, outside the office together, soaking in the remaining rays of sunlight.

Tom shifts first, wrapping both arms around Pete and pressing a kiss to his head. "I'm sorry I was an ass."

"If we always apologized for being asses, we'd owe a whole lot of apologies. To a long and distinguished list of people."

Tom laughs, the sound reverberating in Pete's body where they're connected. Both of them pull back, Tom's eyes darting around to make sure they're alone and not being watched from inside, before leaning down to kiss Pete.

It's a short kiss, quick and chaste since they're just outside the office and are supposed to be keeping up professional appearances. Pete's the first to pull back, squeezing Tom one more time before extracting himself and turning to head back inside.

"So, we'll talk with Slider and Nat about incorporating your naval career into the campaign but not leaning on it, clearing with the Navy itself what we can actually talk about," Pete rattles off, opening the door for Tom.

"Alright then, what's next?"

The Hidden Cost of Convenience: How Your Smart Devices Are Mapping Your Life

In an era where smart devices have become ubiquitous in our homes, a disturbing reality lurks beneath their convenient features. Is that robot vacuum diligently cleaning your floors? It's creating detailed 3D maps of your home. The biometric scanner at your local grocery store? It's collecting more than just payment data. These revelations come from data privacy experts Aram Senriq and Jesse Gilbert, authors of "The Secret Life of Data," who warn that our digital footprints are far more extensive – and permanent – than most people realize. "Data isn't really an object so much as it's a frame of mind," explains Senriq. "You can take any aspect of the human experience and reduce it to a set of numbers that has value for somebody somewhere." Take Amazon's Roomba, for instance. While marketed as a simple vacuum cleaner, its LIDAR sensors create comprehensive 3D maps of your home's interior, tracking everything from furniture placement to the number of residents and pets. According to Gilbert, this data has value far beyond improving cleaning efficiency. "The vacuuming function is why we invite them into our homes, but it's not the value for Amazon," he notes. This detailed spatial data helps build sophisticated consumer profiles that can be packaged and sold to third parties – or potentially accessed by government agencies without a warrant. The implications extend beyond individual privacy concerns. Amazon's acquisition of One Medical and its collection of biometric data through Whole Foods' palm-scanning payment system creates an unprecedented intersection of consumer behavior and health data. "Correlating your shopping habits with your medical risk factors... are very consequential and very high stakes," Gilbert warns. Even more troubling is how today's innocent data collection could have tomorrow's unforeseen consequences. The authors point to a stark example: during the decades when abortion was legal nationwide, millions of Americans used Google Maps to locate healthcare clinics. Post-Roe v. Wade, that same location data could potentially be used as evidence in criminal proceedings in states where abortion is now illegal. So what can consumers do? While completely opting out of digital services isn't realistic for most people, the authors suggest a three-pronged approach: - Support federal data privacy legislation - Take practical steps like using VPNs to encrypt personal data - Foster a culture of privacy awareness and normalized protective behaviors The message is clear: We need to move beyond the "nothing to hide" mindset and recognize that all data, like DNA, exists as part of an interconnected web that can reveal far more about us—and those connected to us—than we might imagine. As our homes and lives become increasingly connected, the question isn't just about what data we're willing to share today, but how that data might be used tomorrow. The convenience of smart devices comes with a price tag we're only beginning to understand. Read the full article

Smart Food Packaging Market Segmentation: Key Technologies and Regional Growth Insights

The global smart food packaging market is estimated at USD 26.42 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 35.69 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 6.2% from 2024 to 2029. The study "Active Packaging in the Food Industry", published in October 2024, explores the growing significance of active packaging in response to changing consumer demands and market trends. Unlike traditional packaging, which is designed to be inert, active packaging interacts with the product and its environment to extend shelf life and maintain food quality. This can involve incorporating additives into packaging systems, such as oxygen and ethylene scavengers, antimicrobial agents, antioxidants, and flavor-absorbing or releasing compounds. Intelligent packaging systems, like time-temperature indicators and gas detectors, are also discussed, emphasizing the importance of consumer acceptance for the commercial success of these technologies. The study reviews key mechanisms used in active packaging, including oxygen scavengers, which reduce the presence of oxygen in food packaging by using iron-based or ascorbic acid-based systems. These methods help maintain product freshness by limiting oxidative damage. Carbon dioxide-generating systems are also used to suppress microbial growth, particularly in meat, poultry, fish, and cheese packaging. Furthermore, ethylene scavengers are vital for extending the shelf life of fruits and vegetables by controlling ripening processes.

Other applications discussed include the use of flavor and odor absorbers/releasers, which enhance the sensory properties of packaged food, and antimicrobial packaging that inhibits microbial growth to ensure food safety. The potential of nanotechnology to develop new and more effective active and intelligent packaging solutions is highlighted, paving the way for further innovations in the food packaging industry. This study underscores the need for advanced packaging technologies to meet consumer demand for fresh, safe, and high-quality food products and their critical role in prolonging shelf life and improving food safety.

The Meat, Poultry & Seafood is the having a largest share within the application sector of the smart food packaging market.

Due to growing global demand, meat, poultry, and seafood accounts for the highest market share of application in the smart food packaging market. Its needs lie in extending shelf life, safety, and traceability. As per data provided by the USDA from October 2024, Brazil dominates global chicken meat exports during 2025 as the production will be 11.8 million tons. Australia's poultry production will increase by 2 percent to 2.6 million tons, as high global demand is expected. Beef exports from Australia will also reach a record 1.9 million tons in the year, as its demand increases in the US. These trends point towards the increasing international meat trade and export opportunities.

Increased production and exports require more advanced smart packaging technologies, such as modified atmosphere packaging and active packaging, for freshness, less food waste, and greater safety. This will fuel innovation and adoption of smart packaging solutions, especially in global markets like East Asia and North America.

The active packaging segment holds significant market share in the smart food packaging market during the forecasted period 2024-2029.

Active food packaging accounts for a major market share in the smart food packaging industry, which is mainly attributed to the quality improvement, safety, and shelf life that active packaging can offer. Technologies, including oxygen scavengers, moisture absorbers, and antimicrobial agents, respond to some of the most important consumer needs related to freshness and reduction of food waste.

It is primarily gaining adoption across key industries, including meat, poultry, seafood, and dairy, where growing concerns about global food safety and sustainability are driving growth. Additionally, increasing export of perishable food products, particularly in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, further supports the increasing demand for active packaging. As manufacturers look for more innovative ways to meet their regulatory requirements and consumer demands, active packaging will maintain its position in the market.

Based on region, Europe has a significant share in the smart food packaging market.

The growth of the food and beverage industry in Europe is a major driving force for the smart food packaging market, which is motivated by the increasing demand for advanced packaging solutions that would ensure food safety, traceability, and extended shelf life. According to European Commission data (March 2024), the food and drinks industry generates ~USD 245 billion (€227 billion) in added value and employs 4.6 million people, making it the EU's largest manufacturing sector in terms of jobs and value. SMEs are over 99% of businesses in this ecosystem. The sector has also recorded a food trade surplus, with exports doubled over the last decade to exceed ~USD 196 billion (€182 billion), contributing a positive balance of nearly ~USD 32 billion (€30 billion). These strong figures, combined with growing trade opportunities and EU Single Market benefits, are driving demand for smart food packaging technologies to support efficient, sustainable, and competitive food supply chains.

Sprout24 is reader-supportedWe may earn an affiliate commission from purchases made through our links. Rest assured, this does not affect the cost of your subscription.

Fed up with reading biased reviews and analysis from SaaS vendors themselves?We understand; they're often just trying to sell their services. That's why we've created this guide – to provide you with a straightforward and unbiased overview.

In the digital realm, where every like, share, and follow counts, it is not surprising that the social media marketing agency has emerged as a game changer.

As the digital landscape reshapes traditional marketing norms, the role of social media agencies is increasingly gaining prominence, acting as a critical nexus between businesses and their audiences.

Why so?

The numbers are impressive, but the real potential lies in the connections, engagement, and relationships built on these platforms.

A social media agency wears many hats – from strategist and content creator to community manager and data analyst. Leveraging their expertise, businesses can tap into the potential of social media, sparking conversations around their brand, engaging with their audience, and driving growth.

Let’s embark on a journey to explore the fascinating world of running a successful social media agency.

Chapter 1

Chapter 1: Starting Your Social Media Agency

1.1 Identifying Your Niche

The answer is your niche.

In the digital marketing world, a “one size fits all” approach rarely brings success. Your agency must have a unique focus that aligns with your passion, expertise, and market demand.

Niches can be industry-specific, demographic-focused, or platform-centric. However, your niche should resonate with you and be something you’re passionate about, as this passion will be your fuel on this journey.

So, whether you’re a fitness enthusiast wanting to help gyms with their social media, or a tech wizard focused on helping software companies, finding the right niche will make your services more targeted, valuable, and sought-after.

1.2 Building a Solid Foundation

An idea without a foundation is like a skyscraper without its base—destined to crumble.

Building a robust foundation for your social media agency involves a deep understanding of your brand, services, goals, and objectives.

Think of your brand as a person. What does it stand for?

What are its values?

What is its personality?

Setting clear goals and objectives is another crucial aspect.

What are you aiming to achieve in the next year?

Maybe it is to secure five ongoing clients or to reach a specific revenue milestone. Having these goals allows you to develop a roadmap for your agency’s growth.

Remember, these goals should be SMART – Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-bound.

Solidifying your brand, defining your services, and setting clear goals is like building a strong foundation for your agency. These elements are the bedrock upon which the rest of your business strategy will be built.

1.3 Packaging Your Services

Deciding on which services to offer is only half the battle won. The real challenge lies in packaging them attractively, thus appealing to your potential clients.

Think about it from the clients’ perspective – why should they choose your services over others?

What unique value proposition are you offering?

A neat trick is to offer services in bundles, where each package caters to different needs and budgets.

For instance, a basic package could include content creation and basic SEO, a mid-tier package might offer social media management and engagement tracking, and a premium package could provide a complete solution, including paid ad campaigns, comprehensive SEO, and data analytics.

By doing so, you’re not just selling services but solutions that promise results, packaged to meet diverse client needs and budgets.

1.4 Winning Clients

A useful starting point is leveraging your personal and professional network. Reach out to local businesses, attend industry events, join online communities, and let them know about your services.

Remember, word-of-mouth is a powerful tool. Satisfied customers can become your brand ambassadors, bringing in more clients.

Regularly publish blogs and articles on industry trends and best practices. This positions you as a thought leader in your niche, attracting more clients.

Social proof is another powerful way to attract clients. Case studies, testimonials, and client success management stories provide tangible evidence of your capabilities. It helps build trust and credibility with potential clients.

However, the most important strategy for winning clients is delivering top-notch service. Your clients are investing their money and trust in you, and nothing speaks louder than results.

Make their satisfaction your top priority, and they’ll not only stick around but also refer you to others. Building strong, long-lasting relationships with your clients is the real secret to a successful social media agency.

Chapter 2: Running Successful Social Media Campaigns

2.1 Understanding Your Audience

So, how do you get to know your audience?

It’s not about guessing or assuming; it is about data-driven insights. Social media platforms are a treasure trove of data.

Leveraging analytics tools like Google Analytics, Hootsuite, or Sprout Social, you can uncover vital information about your audience—demographics, interests, online behaviors, and more.

It’s about knowing what resonates with them, what sparks their interest, what drives them to engage, or what influences their purchasing decisions.

These insights will help you tailor your content, tone, and messaging, ensuring they hit the right chord with your audience.

Remember, understanding your audience isn’t a one-time process; it is continuous. As audience preferences evolve, so should your understanding.

Always be on your toes, ready to learn, adapt, and deliver what your audience truly wants.

2.2 Creating Engaging Content

In the world of social media, content is the currency. It is how you engage with your audience, how you communicate your brand message, and how you drive actions – be it likes, shares, comments, or conversions.

So, how do you create content that not only grabs attention but also incites engagement?

How-to guides, thought leadership articles, fun quizzes, or behind-the-scenes stories?

This is where your audience analysis comes into play.

Quality trumps quantity every time. It is better to post less frequently but provide value with each post.

Always ask yourself, “What’s in it for the audience?”

Ensure your content adds value, be it in the form of information, entertainment, or inspiration.

Don’t forget the power of storytelling. People connect with stories, so weave your brand message into a story. Share success stories, customer testimonials, or your journey, making your brand more relatable.

Lastly, encourage engagement. Ask questions, seek opinions, run contests, or use interactive features like polls or quizzes.

The more your audience interacts with your content, the higher the chances of it being seen by a broader audience, thanks to the algorithms of social media platforms.

Creating engaging content isn’t about luck; it is about understanding your audience, delivering value, and fostering engagement.

If done right, it can turn your social media platforms into bustling communities, driving growth for your agency.

2.3 Monitoring and Adjusting Your Campaigns

Social media isn’t a “set it and forget it” game. It is a dynamic ecosystem that demands constant monitoring and adjustments.

Why?

Because social media trends evolve rapidly, audience preferences change, and what works today might not work tomorrow.

Tools like Buffer, Agorapulse, Sendible, Sprout Social, and Hootsuite offer comprehensive analytics to track these metrics.But numbers alone don’t tell the full story. Dive deeper to understand what these numbers mean.

Are your posts getting good engagement but low click-throughs?

Maybe your call-to-actions aren’t compelling enough.

Is your follower growth slow?

Perhaps you need to be more active in community engagement.

Don’t shy away from experimenting. Try different types of content, posting at different times, using various hashtags. See what works best and double down on those strategies.

And don’t forget to keep an eye on your competition.

What are they doing differently?

Can you learn from their successes or mistakes?

Remember, monitoring and adjusting your campaigns isn’t a once-in-a-while task; it is an ongoing process. The more frequently you check and adjust, the better your campaigns will perform.

After all, the key to winning the social media game is staying agile and ready to adapt.

2.4 Measuring Success

Measurement is the compass that guides your social media journey. It tells you if you’re heading in the right direction or if it is time to pivot.

But in the sea of data that social media provides, what should you measure?

Here are some key metrics to keep an eye on:

Engagement rate is a measure of how much your audience interacts with your content. It includes likes, comments, shares, saves, or click-throughs.

Reach and impressions tell you how many people saw your post and how often. If these numbers are low, perhaps you need to adjust your posting schedule, use different hashtags, or promote your posts to reach a wider audience.

Follower growth is a measure of how your audience size is growing. While it is not the only metric to focus on, a steady growth in followers indicates people find value in your content and want to see more.

Conversion rate is the ultimate measure of your campaign success.

If your conversions are low, maybe you need to tweak your call-to-actions or offer more compelling incentives.

Remember, these numbers are just data unless you glean insights from them.

What are they telling you about your audience, your content, or your strategies?

What lessons can you learn, and how can you apply them to future campaigns?

In the end, success in social media isn’t just about hitting numbers; it is about understanding what these numbers mean, learning from them, and using these insights to continually refine your strategies. Because in social media, as in life, the real success lies in continual learning and growth.

Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Growing Your Social Media Agency

3.1 Scaling Your Services

There’s a fine line between growing and scaling. Growth often means adding resources at the same rate that you’re adding revenue, but scaling is about adding revenue at an exponential rate without incurring significant costs.

As you experience success with your social media agency, it is crucial to think about how to scale effectively.

Knowing when to scale is as important as knowing.

How are you turning away potential clients due to lack of capacity?

Is your team consistently overwhelmed with tasks?

Are your existing clients asking for more services that you currently do not offer?

As you scale, focus on your core competencies. You don’t need to be everything to everyone. Identify the services that you excel at and that your clients love, and expand on those.

Outsourcing tasks that are not within your core competencies can also help you focus on what truly matters.

Invest in tools and technology that can automate or simplify your processes. This can include social media scheduling tools, analytics tools, or project management tools. By automating repetitive tasks, you free up time to focus on strategic decisions.

But remember, while you’re scaling your services, never compromise on quality. Quality is what earned you your clients in the first place, and it is what will keep them around as you grow.

3.2 Building a Team

Behind every successful social media agency is a strong, skilled team. As you scale your services, you’ll need more hands on deck. However, building a team isn’t just about hiring more people; it is about hiring the right people.

Start by identifying the roles you need. You’ll likely need social media managers, content creators, graphic designers, ad specialists, and possibly more, depending on your range of services.

When hiring, look for individuals who bring not only the necessary technical skills but also align with your agency’s culture and values. Remember, skills can be taught, but attitude and work ethic can’t.

Once you’ve hired your team, invest in their growth. Provide them with regular training and resources to stay abreast of the latest trends and techniques in social media.

Delegate responsibilities effectively. Make sure each team member knows their roles and responsibilities. Clear delegation not only increases efficiency but also empowers your team, leading to higher job satisfaction.

Finally, celebrate wins and learn from losses as a team. Foster a culture where each member feels valued and part of the bigger picture. After all, the strength of your agency lies in the strength of its team.

3.3 Expanding Your Client Base

Attracting new clients while retaining the current ones is an art every social media agency needs to master. Your client base is the lifeline of your agency, so it is crucial to keep expanding it.

Start by identifying your ideal client.

What industry are they in?

What size is their business?

What are their pain points?

The more specific you can get, the more targeted your marketing efforts will be.

Leverage your existing clients. Word-of-mouth is a powerful marketing tool. Encourage your clients to refer you to their networks. You can even offer a referral program with incentives to make it more appealing.

Content marketing can also help attract new clients. By sharing valuable, relevant content on your website or social media platforms, you can establish yourself as a thought leader in your field, attracting potential clients.

Networking should not be overlooked. Attend industry events, join online forums, or participate in LinkedIn groups. The more people in your industry know about you, the higher the chances of getting client referrals.

In the end, expanding your client base is about building relationships. Whether it is with potential clients, existing clients, or industry peers, invest time and effort in nurturing these relationships, and they’ll pay dividends in the long run.

3.4 Staying Ahead of the Curve

In the ever-evolving world of social media, the only constant is change. Trends shift, algorithms update, and new platforms emerge. To stay relevant and successful, your agency needs to stay ahead of the curve.

First and foremost, be a lifelong learner. Social media is a rapidly changing field, and what worked a few months ago might not work today.

Follow industry blogs, attend webinars and conferences, participate in online forums, and learn from other industry leaders.

Tools like Google Trends, BuzzSumo, or SEMrush can help you keep track of the latest trends.

Don’t be afraid to experiment. The best way to understand a new trend or platform is to get your hands dirty.

Try out different types of content, experiment with new formats, explore different platforms. Some of these experiments might fail, but the lessons learned will be invaluable.

So, even if a new trend feels daunting, lean into it. You never know—it might be the next big thing for your agency.

Staying ahead of the curve isn’t just about being the first to jump on a new trend; it is about continually evolving, learning, and adapting to the changing landscape.

It’s about being proactive, not reactive. In the fast-paced world of social media, that’s what sets successful agencies apart.

Conclusion

Final Takeaway

We’ve traversed through the realms of establishing, running, and growing a successful social media agency.

From identifying your niche, building a solid foundation, packaging your services, and winning clients, to understanding your audience, creating engaging content, monitoring campaigns, and measuring success.

And we didn’t stop there. We explored scaling your services, building a formidable team, expanding your client base, and staying ahead of the curve.

Embarking on this journey isn’t for the faint-hearted. It requires dedication, hard work, continual learning, and most importantly, a passion for social media.

But remember, every large agency you admire today once started small. They too faced challenges, made mistakes, learned, and grew. The key is to stay committed to your vision and to continually adapt to the evolving landscape of social media.

Here’s to your journey in running a successful social media agency. May the virtual world of likes, shares, and comments become your playground, and may you create digital magic that wins hearts, minds, and businesses.

Now, go out there and make a difference. You’ve got this!

Running a successful bakery requires more than just delicious treats. To maximize profits and attract a steady stream of customers, bakeries must implement effective sales strategies. We’ll explore seven proven tactics that can help increase bakery sales and ensure long-term success. Let’s dive in!

Elevate the Visual Appeal:

First impressions matter, and for bakeries, that means presenting mouthwatering delights in an enticing manner. Invest in attractive displays, use eye-catching packaging, and decorate your storefront with tempting visuals. A visually appealing bakery will draw customers in and encourage impulse purchases.

Offer Diverse Product Range:

To satisfy a broad customer base offer a diverse range of products. From classic cakes and fresh bread to gluten-free options, vegan treats, and seasonal specialties, having a variety of items can attract different types of customers and boost sales. Regularly introduce new and innovative creations to keep your offerings fresh and exciting.

Focus on High-Quality Ingredients:

Superior ingredients are the backbone of any successful bakery. Using fresh, high-quality ingredients not only enhances the taste of your baked goods but also showcases your commitment to providing the best to your customers. Highlight the use of premium ingredients in your marketing efforts to build trust and loyalty.

Implement an Online Ordering System with QPOS:

In today’s fast-paced world, convenience is key. Set up an efficient online ordering system, powered by QPOS, that allows customers to pre-order their favourite treats for pickup or delivery.

With QPOS’s integrated online ordering feature, you can offer this convenience to your customers seamlessly. This addition not only increases sales and attracts customers but also streamlines your bakery operations by automating order processing and ensuring accuracy in transactions.

Create visually appealing posts featuring your appealing creations, share customer reviews, and run special promotions to invite new and existing customers. Encourage user-generated content by photo posting on social media and tagging the shop along, expanding your reach even further.

Host Events and Workshops:

Engage with your community by hosting events and workshops at your bakery. Consider organizing baking classes or festival themed events. These experiences not only provide additional revenue streams but also help build a loyal customer base that will spread positive word-of-mouth.

Implement Loyalty Programs:

Reward loyal customers with a well-designed loyalty program. Offer discounts, freebies, or exclusive access to new products or events. A strong loyalty program can incentivize repeat purchases and turn one-time visitors into dedicated patrons.

Increasing bakery sales involves a combination of smart marketing, high-quality products, and exceptional customer experiences.
