Social Media Challenge Day 21


Lucy Guest Marketing's October Social Media Challenge #21

Check your Instagram Insights 📊

Day 21 – Let’s check what’s working 📊

Today’s challenge is to open up your Instagram Professional Dashboard and spend 5–10 minutes exploring what’s going well.

Here’s three places to look at to start with:

🔹 Views and interactions – What type of content is getting the most engagement? This will help you plan future posts that your audience actually enjoy.

🔹 New followers – Where are they from? What time are they online? This can help with your posting schedule and content themes.

🔹 Monthly recap – Instagram now gives you a little summary each month. Check it out for top-performing content, trends and a few highlight stats.

This isn’t about obsessing over numbers – it’s about spotting what’s working so you can do more of that and worry less about the rest.

Let me know if anything surprises you today!

See you tomorrow,

Lucy

Your Marketing Toolbox #2 Are Business Cards Old Fashioned or Underrated? I know business cards can feel a bit old school, but honestly? I still really rate them.

And when I meet people at events, I always go through the cards I’ve collected afterwards and follow up, it helps me remember who’s who and start building a proper connection. If you want yours to actually work for you, here are 4 tips to make them stand...

Hi, Let me tell you a quick story. A few months ago we had a flyer through the door for rubbish collection, nothing fancy, just a simple printout. But, as it happened, we were about to get a new sofa and needed the old one gone. My husband sent them an email. Fast forward three months, and we finally got a reply… “Hi, sorry, we don’t really check this inbox.” 😬 Ouch. That flyer was delivered at exactly the right time. We were ready to book. But the follow-up (or complete lack of one) meant...
