Boost Your Esthetician Marketing: Collaborative Instagram Story Takeovers with Spa Owners for Enhanced Content and Spa Marketing
Embracing the power of collaboration to bring something fresh and exciting to your marketing mix. Ready for a game-changing strategy? Let's dive into Instagram Story Takeovers with Complimentary Business Owners.
Remember these, they were all the rage around 2016, and for good reason too. They work SO well at getting new eyes on your feed.
Collaborating with a business that complements yours (think fitness studios, health food cafes, complimentary beauty businesses, or wellness centers) not only showcases your services to a wider, yet relevant audience but also strengthens local business ties.
Your Action Plan:
Find Your Perfect Match: Identify a local business that aligns with your spa's values and clientele. Reach out to propose a mutually beneficial Instagram Story takeover. Remember this is a mutually beneficial challenge.
Brainstorm Together: Plan content that highlights how your services complement each other. For example, a day in the life at their business where they get to share a bit about themselves and the why and what behind their biz.
Cross-Promote: Announce the takeover in advance on both your Instagram accounts. Tease what followers can expect with sneak peeks or behind-the-scenes content.
Execute with Flair: On the day of the takeover, let the business owner share their perspective on your story. Remember to use interactive content like Q&As, polls, and emoji sliders.
Engage and Analyze: Actively engage with the audience during the takeover and afterward, analyze the engagement and reach.
Why It's Effective:
Broader Audience Reach: Tap into each other's follower bases, introducing your spa to potential clients who already value wellness and self-care.
Varied Content: Fresh perspectives can invigorate your content strategy, keeping your existing audience engaged and attracting new followers.
Community Connection: Strengthen your local network by supporting fellow businesses, creating a sense of community and collaboration.
