Welcome, I’m Verity.

FOUNDER OF STYLE UP SOCIAL ACADEMY.

Style Up Social Academy is here to help Fashion brands, STYLISTS and bloggers thrive in fast paced digital world.

With over 15 years in fashion retail, 6 years as a learning and development professional specialising in strategy development and content creation, and an extensive knowledge of social media and digital skills, I decided to create Style Up Social Academy.

After maternity leave I returned to the corporate world, but after a few unstable months and being offered redundancy, I took this as an opportunity, not to sit back and be dealt my future but to drive forward and combine all my skills and experience to create a business that could utilise my specific skill set. Style Up Social Academy was born.

As it's a new month, I have a quick question for you.... how many of you have checked your insights and analytics for the last month to help you improve your Instagram strategy? ⁣ ⁣ Measuring your own progress and tracking the right metrics for your goals is key to growing your account. ⁣ ⁣ Building a report over time will help you identify a content strategy that works for your business. I am not talking about a lengthy tracker here, but you should have something in place that shows you your wins, loses and most importantly, your opportunities. ⁣ ⁣ Here's some notes on what I do: ⁣ 1. I ensure I make a note of the strategies I have implemented that month and what's worked. ⁣ 2. I look at my overall metrics that matter to where I am right now and if they have improved from last month.⁣ 3. I analyse what content has engaged you the most. ⁣ 4. Then I make at least 3 actions that I need to implement. These can be new strategies I am trying out or going harder on something that has worked really well! ⁣ ⁣ What do you do? If you have any questions about how to use insights and how to make them help you grow then drop a comment below and I will answer you 🙌🏻⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #businessoffashion #fashionmarketing #fashionstartup #digitalmarketing #fashionsocialmedia #fashionentrepreneur #womeninfashion #socialmediastrategist #growyourfashionbrand ⁣ #socialmediatips
Style Up Social Academy has hit 6 months! 😱 ⁣ ⁣ This has been an incredible journey so far and as you may know I do take the time to sit down and reflect on what has happened. What I have learnt, what can be improved and the next steps of the business. ⁣ ⁣ What I have loved the most is seeing the business evolve. Seeing my skills, knowledge and experience that I have gained from 15 years in the fashion industry mould into something that can have real impact for you and your fashion business. ⁣ ⁣ I have recently changed my packages. I have spent time listening to what you guys have been asking for and that is what I want to cater for. ⁣ ⁣ Style Up Social Academy can develop your strategy, we can work together 1-2-1 for 3 hours or for 3 months. I can do all the work for you or we can work closely together where I coach you through all the different elements to get the results you deserve. ⁣ ⁣ I know that everyone and their business have different needs and that's why I will always create bespoke and tailored solutions for you. ⁣ ⁣ You can find out more through the link in my bio, and remember if you don't see what you are looking for lets jump on a call and discuss. ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #fashionbrands #socialmediaconsultant #socialmediastrategist #businessoffashion #clothingonline #fashionbrandconsultant #startupfashion⁣ #fashionsocialmedia #womeninfashion
YES. YES. YES AND YES. ⁣ You've got to share consistently each week. Consistently stick to your brand values, your tone of voice and most importantly consistently remind your audience (in new and exciting ways) that you and your brand are the people who can help and inspire them. ⁣ ⁣ Consistency doesn't confuse your audience and it won't confuse you. ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #instagramtips #fashionmarketing #fashiondigital #businessoffashion #womeninfashion #socialmediamarketing #fashionbrandconsultant #fashionstartup #fashionbrands #digitalfashion
Okay guys...⁣ ⁣ So many of you ask me about Pinterest and if it's a good place to grow your fashion business. And whether you are fashion stylist, blogger or brand my answer is always yes! ⁣ ⁣ But I know Pinterest can feel overwhelming, even if you have been on it for a while. ⁣ ⁣ How does it even work as a platform? What do I pin? How often? What kind of graphics convert? and WHAT THE HELL is a smart loop?! Why I am doing what others are doing but nothing seems to be working? ⁣ ⁣ But more importantly, how do I fit in yet another platform into my already busy schedule? Are just a few of the questions I get asked about this platform.... this last one more than the others. ⁣ ⁣ I get it too. It can seem like adding another way to market your fashion business is just filling you with dread. I mean Instagram can feel like a full time job in itself! ⁣ ⁣ That's why I am running my Pinterest workshop next Monday 18th Feb to take you through everything you need to know to get you started and to take away that feeling of dread. ⁣ ⁣ There is no magic formula, but as you know, I am a big promotor of setting up a strategy that works for you and this workshop will do just that! It will give you the tools to set you up so you can get on your way with your Pinterest success for your fashion business without taking up to much time 🙌🏻⁣ ⁣ Go to my link in the bio for your ticket to this intimate, tailored workshop. There's only 3 tickets left so be quick! ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #pinterestfashionmarketing #pinterestsuccess #pinterestproblems #pinterestworkshop #pinteresttips #fashionpinterest #businessoffashion #pinterestgeek #pinteresting #womeninfashion #marketingforsmallbusiness #pinteresthelp #pinterestobsessed
