Local Business Interviews

It took this major isolation to realize how much of my business is based around meetings, events and being with my people! In an effort to create connection and help both my clients and local businesses, I decided to go Live on Instagram with a few interviews.
​
My goal was to pick businesses that could offer home-related tips to my clients in the form of small actionable activities. I began with my favorite house cleaner, professional organizer and gardener, and plan to share additional interviews from a financial planner, an interior designer, a home renovation specialist and a local etiquette expert!
​
I also have a plan to launch a video series giving shout outs to local bars and restaurants, recreating my favorite recipes to support restaurants that are closed, and highlighting those that are offering takeout.
​
I would say my biggest takeaway was to switch from Instagram to a recorded Zoom meeting. Instagram was prone to some technological issues, and it was very hard to save the videos. Beyond that, I highly encourage reaching out to your local friends, even if it's just as a blog post!
​
Here is a link to my "Safe at Home" hub on my site, where you can find recaps of all of the videos and all of the other resources I have created during this time!
