Save Time, Stand Out and Stay Up-to-Date with Social Media
Your store is awesome. Completely stocked. Well-organized. Clean as a whistle. A great team at the ready. But when it comes time to market, it's hard to find the time, let alone the creativity, to get it done properly.
Do these scenarios sound familiar?
- It's 1:00 am. You finally sit down to create those daunting social media posts for the next day. And you. Are. Exhausted. There is zero creativity left after a long day.
- Your new shipment has arrived! Hooray! But it feels like your customers aren't interested because your post about it is not getting any Likes and engagement. Feeling disappointed, you wonder if social media is worth your time, energy, and money.
- You did it. You set up your Facebook Ad campaign for the anticipated event or sale. But something's not working! Between frustrations of Facebook not loading, hard-to-find updates, and a myriad of seemingly unsolvable issues, you're ready to throw your computer out the window with a resounding scream.
I've been there. Many, many times! When I started marketing on social media a decade ago, there was no training to help me through those frustrating times. I had to figure it out on my own. But after months of trying and testing, some amazing press pick-up results surfaced on a project I was spearheading and I realized then, that social media was going to change the way we market businesses forever.
I'm Crystal Vilkaitis; international social media speaker, trainer and founder of Social Edge. I understand your business because I've worked exclusively with retailers since 2010.
Here is what I know to be true for retailers:
- Time is valuable. Main Street retailers wear more hats than I can count. It's hard enough to keep the day-to-day operations running without the stress of finding your place in the social stratosphere. The feeling that there are just not enough hours in the day is a common one.
- Social Media is one of the best tools with which to market your business. It's where your customers are spending their time every single day. You can show up in front of your customers while they wait in lines, are on their lunch break or even when they're just waking up. Isn't that exciting?! And maybe a little creepy. 🙂
- Social can be simple. Once a Social Edge (SE) Insider, your social media marketing will be quicker, easier, and much less of a headache. (We've got the testimonials to prove it!)
Who Should Become an SE Insider?
SE Insiders are typically store owners, marketing managers, social media-savvy employees and anyone who is too busy to sift through tons of how-to, outdated, online tutorials to find the right way to market their store and products on social media.
As an SE Insider, you have access to:
- Bite-size social media training (built exclusively for retail stores) that focuses on increasing reach, engagement, and traffic.
- Updated, retail-relevant training videos with topics like:
- 6 Steps to a Profitable Social Strategy
- How to Build a Loyal Social Media Audience
- 5 Ways You're Sabotaging Your Business on Social Media
- Social media training, strategies, tools, and changes - things that work TODAY to keep you relevant and up-to-date.
- Social media content ideas for those times you just don't feel creative.
- An eager, relatable support team to walk you through those times you're feeling stuck. We won't just point you to a policy or an outdated webpage. (Psst...We're online M-F, 9-5 PST and answer as quickly as possible.)

- The Facebook and Instagram Ads Masterclass; a complete how-to training for retailers on utilizing and maximizing ads.

Plus, we've tagged all questions since the beginning of 2018 so that SE Insiders have access to a bank of knowledge and helpful answers. (And you have access to anything asked since Social Edge Insiders launched in the fall of 2012.)
We've got your back. There are no stupid questions! And if we don't know the answer in this ever-changing world of social, we're happy to find the answer for you.
Who Should Become an SE Insider?
You should become an SE Insider if:
- You love your store, customers, and staff.
- You need help marketing on social media and are committed to implementing what you learn.
- You won't give up. Patience is critical with social media marketing. Some things work (and work quickly) and others take more time.
- You want to save time on post and ad creation but understand it takes some effort. Completely automated social media does not produce sales and it's not what we teach to our SE Insiders.
- You are ready to invest in training to take your social media to the next level.
You shouldn't become an SE Insider if:
- You stressfully say, "I don't have time" ....all of the time. We all have the same 24 hours in a day. I strongly believe that we can accomplish anything that you put your heart and mind to. It's easy to say you don't have time to market on social media; it's an easy thing to push to the back burner. But it's one of the most powerful marketing tools of our time. You need to make time for it.
- You don't believe social media really works. We're not here to convince you that social media works. We're here to help you leverage it and grow your business.
