EP 143: Using the Power of Video to Sell More Products and Services with Brandon Lucero

If you’ve been on your aesthetic business journey for a while, at this point, you know about the opportunities that video marketing provides. 

And if you’re brand new to building a business, the best time to learn about harnessing the power of video is NOW. 

Video marketing isn’t anything new, however, it is currently the most effective method for connecting with your ideal clients for a few reasons: 

 

1 – Video currently reigns supreme on all social platforms both for organic reach as well as for driving paid traffic.  

2 – Video is highly leverage-able (yes, let’s roll with that word) in that it can be utilized in a number of different ways. My guest in this episode will dive more into the details, but in essence, we’re talking: create one great piece of video content, and get even more content out of it. 

3 – Video is the most powerful medium in that your ideal client can both see and hear you, creating an instant connection that’s as close to an in-person connection as you can get. 

Video, as you’ll learn in this episode, is the ultimate marketing medium, and here to teach you more about it is my guest, Brandon Lucero, the founder of Sold With Video and creator of the Video 4x Effect. 

As a student of Brandon’s Video 4x Effect program, I can vouch for the success of his systems and proven methodology that shifts how online content is created and distributed by changing beliefs, shifting perspective and the psychology of selling products online so you can move your audience into a buying state of mind while growing your brand. 

Seriously, he’s a video genius, and it goes far beyond the simple things like having the right lighting…in fact, that really has nothing to do with it. 


It’s about messaging, about the people you’re speaking to and calling to action, and it’s about the sequencing, all of which you’ll get the high-level overview of when you tune in to this episode. 

So sit back, and start taking notes, because after you’re done listening, you’ll have what you need to start leveraging video and start selling more today. 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why video is the critical medium for standing out online and what you need to have first before creating any video content 
  • Brandon’s three primary focus areas of content plus a bonus category that will work well for aestheticians and aesthetic experts 
  • Why 1-2 videos isn’t enough to gain traction with video marketing and how videos in various categories work together to support your potential client or customer through the journey to working with or buying from you
  • Brandon’s top tips for how to maximize your effort and maximize your time when creating video to use in your marketing 
  • Elements of your video you need to have dialed in to help your ideal client see and take action on your content

EP 139: (Greatest Hits) 10 Ways to 10X Your Revenue with Facebook Ads with Tara Zirker

As you re-enter our business after a season of quarantine, you are likely looking at your business with fresh eyes and a sense that now more than ever you need to embrace proven marketing strategies that work to breathe sustainability into your marketing efforts. 

One of the best ways I’ve found to do that is through Facebook ads, which is why for this week’s episode, we’re bringing you a repeat of one of our most downloaded episodes of 2019. 

Now I know Facebook ads may feel scary. As if you’re gambling your money away and it’s a total coin toss as to whether you’ll get it back. I 100% understand because that’s how I felt about Facebook ads when I first started with them, too. 

However, when you have a strategy, and when you understand the skillset, Facebook ads can act as the system that operates like a 24/7 salesperson that brings in new, qualified leads even while you’re on vacation, or playing with your kids, or even in the treatment room with another client. 


THAT is the power of Facebook ads, and they’re no longer a question of “should” you be doing them for your aesthetic business, but how should you be using them to maximize your marketing budget and get more of your ideal clients aware of your business. 

On this episode of Spa Marketing Made Easy, I’m joined by my dear friend and repeat guest, Tara Zirker, who I’ve dubbed as the Facebook Ads goddess because, you guys, she makes magic happen through the power of Facebook ads. 

In her career, she has worked with business owners in all industries, but especially owners of clinics in the aesthetic and wellness space, and has helped generate millions of dollars in profit. 

And now through her membership, Successful Ads Club, Tara’s helping entrepreneurs like you harness the power of Facebook ads with top-notch education and strategies roadmaps. 

In today’s Greatest Hits episode, Tara’s delivering ten of the best time-tested strategies that we know WORK for spa and aesthetic business to help you get going with Facebook ads in as little as a couple of hours. 

Whether you’ve never ventured into Facebook ads before, you’ve already dipped your toe in the water and are ready for taking your ads up a level, or you’re a pro looking for fresh ideas, there’s a little something for every aesthetician in this episode! 

So pull up an earbud and a pen, and let’s talk strategy! 

In this episode you’ll learn:

  • Why you need to leverage Facebook ads for your aesthetic business and how to approach getting started 
  • The 5 things you need to have in place before running any of the VIP strategies in this episode 
  • 10 strategic ideas for Facebook and Instagram ads that you can begin running today

I’ve said it many times here on Spa Marketing Made Easy, and I’m confident I’ll say it many more, but in this week’s episode, my guest and I are digging into a realm of advertising I’m not as familiar with: Google Ads.

EP 132: How to Build a Local Following and Get Found on Instagram with Danielle Pastula

You know you need to be on social media, especially Instagram. 

You also know you need to be consistent in your posting to the platform, but if you’ve experienced the random and spammy comments proclaiming “Nice!” on your posts, or engagement from people who not only live in a different state, but a different country altogether, you might be thinking, “How much is all this work really paying off? These people will never be my clients.”

It’s a valid question and one I’m glad you’re asking because that means you’re aware you need a shift in direction and strategy, and that’s what my guest, Danielle, and I are discussing in this episode. 

If you’re a seasoned listener of the Spa Marketing Made Easy podcast, you’re already familiar with Danielle from Episode 76, and know she’s a long-time member of Team AddoAesthetics where she’s been my copywriter and social media and brand strategist for the last 4+ years, as well as my business partner in our social media membership community, Post With Purpose. 

She’s also a total expert at zeroing in on the elements of your Instagram content that are going to help you get found by and build relationships with the people who actually stand a chance to walk through our doors. 

Yes, it takes a little research and some work upfront, but as Danielle explains, when you know precisely what you’re looking for, it pays off long-term as you become a powerhouse for positioning yourself directly in front of the  people who could become your next booked client and establish your brand as a local aesthetic authority. 

In this episode, you’ll learn: 

  • The two things you need to leverage in all of your Instagram content to get found by people who live in your  local area 
  • Why the algorithm is actually a good thing and can help you get found by your ideal client when you know how to use it in your favor 
  • Understanding the various categories of your hashtag groups and how to research and compile them for your posts 
  • Answers to all your questions on how many hashtags you should be using and how break down your hashtag groupings to show up in feeds of people who stand to walk through your doors 
  • How to leverage geotagging in your content and the strategies for showing up in your immediate neighborhood and larger regional area.

EP 130: Crafting Promotions for Maximum Profitability with Sara and Melissa of Sykes & Lanno Skinbar

Are you pulling together your spa’s promotions without much rhyme or reason other than the fact that you think it’ll bring new clients through the door? 

How about drawing up a deal only to realize (once people are taking you up on it) that your promotion doesn’t  actually serve your long-term business sustainability? 

If you can relate, don’t fret (or have regrets), and instead, tune into this episode of Spa Marketing Made Easy to ensure you know how to properly craft a promotion that will bring you profits! 

In this episode, I’m joined again by my Growth Factor students, Sara and Melissa of Sykes & Lanno Skinbar, who are on their journey to building a 7-figure spa and doing an episode with me once per month throughout 2020 to give you the real behind-the-scenes of what it takes to grow to that level. 

Last month, with just a few hours left to close out their monthly numbers and just a couple hundred dollars short of their revenue goal, Sara and Melissa whipped up a promotion and shared it with their clientele and their audience. 

Want to know the results? 

  • It sold like hotcakes
  • Pushed them far past their monthly goal
  • And gave them their most profitable first week of the month yet

But let me be frank: this wasn’t luck, this was strategy.

Sara and Melissa know their numbers, know their clientele, and they know what works as aesthetic experts, which is why I’m talking with them all about how they craft promotions for maximum profitability. 

In this episode, we discuss:

  • How to leverage promotions as a powerful tool right at the time you need them most to meet your goals
  • Why it pays to have go-to promotions in your backpocket 
  • How Melissa and Sara craft, plan, and prep for their promotions
  • How they navigate discounting, and the key metrics they look for to ensure maximum profitability on a promotion

EP 127: Pushing Past Fear to Get Publicity and Impact Millions with Selena Soo

Battling imposter syndrome. 

Clamming up in the face of the camera. 

Saying to yourself “I’m better behind the scenes, I just want to see my clients shining in the spotlight.” 

These are all things I’ve heard from countless aestheticians looking to step up and into the role of leader and face of their brand, but are afraid to do so for well, truthfully, countless reasons. 

From fearing judgement to being afraid of sounding silly or like you don’t know what you’re talking about or forgetting how to talk altogether when you’ve got the floor and it’s your time to shine, sometimes all it takes is thinking of going live on your own Facebook page to send you into a cold full-body sweat, forget showing up on the local news! 

First, breathe. 

Next, listen. 

You are fully equipped to stand and shine in your own spotlight, and here to help you do it is my mastermind leader and business coach, Selena Soo. 

If you’ve been a  long-time listener to Spa Marketing Made Easy, you’ve already heard me talk about Selena and her genius as a connector and relationship builder, but her official title is business and publicity strategist who helps take experts who are “hidden gems” and give them the tools to transform into industry leaders, and even household names. 

She’s helped her clients and students get featured in places like O, The Oprah Magazine, Forbes, and Inc., as well as top-ranked podcasts and national TV shows, so she’s no stranger to the spotlight, but what’s funny is that in the beginning of her journey she too was terrified of being visible. 

In this episode, you’ll hear her story of how she broke into the world of publicity, her unique take on gaining exposure for your business through the media, and the critical mindset shifts she made so that she could fully stand in the spotlight and unleash her brilliance so that she could ultimately impact millions. 

In this episode, we discuss: 

  • Selena’s personal journey in discovering her passion for publicity and how it wasn’t always a natural calling to step into the spotlight
  • How Selena shifted her perspective to push past fear so she could make the impact she desired for her life and for her clients
  • Her 4 mindset shifts and lessons that you can take away to get past your own publicity hangups and mental blocks 
  • Why publicity is critical for aesthetic experts and simple steps for getting started generating publicity for your brand

EP 123: 5 Ways to Gain Publicity to Grow Your Brand and Aesthetic Business

How would you like to be the household-name aesthetician or spa in your town? 

How would you like to do it without spending a dime on advertising? 

Now, if you’ve been a listener to Spa Marketing Made Easy for even a few episodes, you know I love Facebook and Instagram ads, but another way to boost your brand recognition and aesthetic expertise is through publicity aka PR. 

Publicity is an incredible way to boost your brand’s recognition, get in front of more people in your target audience, and position yourself as a leading expert in your area of aesthetics. 

You might be thinking, “All of that, for free? Seems too good to be true…”

I assure you, it’s not, because while PR is technically free, it will cost you time and energy. However, it’s well worth it for the return on investment. 

Where traditional paid advertising can be secured by nearly anyone with a marketing budget, publicity is only gained when the hosts and writers of various outlets such as publications, shows, podcasts, etc. deem your knowledge and story to be good enough to share. 


And here’s the thing, those content creators are always looking for another good story, angle, or interesting thing to showcase to their audience, and that story can come from you! 

So, if you thought publicity was just for celebrities in Hollywood, you’re going to want to fire up your notes app and turn up the volume, because these strategies stand the chance to put your business on the map and help you stand out from the sea of other spas in your area! 

In this episode, you’ll learn: 

  • Why publicity is so important for creating brand recognition and marketing your business 
  • 5 strategies for gaining publicity in a variety of mediums and with different audiences 
  • How pitching to both local publicity channels as well as industry outlets can benefit your brand 
  • My top recommended news outlets and resources to begin searching for publicity opportunities
