NPM: Trying to Be The da Vinci of Your Social Media Needs

The Italian genius Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) had an extraordinary mind that canvassed a multitude of disciplines. Walter Isaacson, in his New York Times best seller about his life, wrote about his vast accomplishments in mathematics, art, engineering, anatomy, and zoology (to name a few). One thing that made da Vinci such a great artesian was his attention to detail. It is this fact about da Vinci that we at NPM find commonality.

One great example of da Vinci’s attention to detail was found in his painting “Virgin of the Rocks”  (pictured above). Leonardo chose to use volcanic rock and sandstone which he was familiar with because of his studies of geology. While his artist rendition of these formations are impressive, what demonstrates his attention to detail is that he paints climate and geologically appropriate plants in his painting. As Isaacson wrote, “The plants in the picture are located, as they would be in nature, only in the sandstone regions that have weathered sufficiently to permit roots to take hold, both at the top and the floor of the grotto, but not in the hard igneous rocks. The species chosen are botanically and seasonally correct: he depicted only those that would be found in a moist grotto at the same time of year.” Leonardo’s attention to detail is as impressive today as it was 500 years ago.

The attention to detail is what separated Leonardo from other artists and this is what separates NPM from other marketing companies. Unlike big box marketing firms that are in other states or even other countries that use algorithms to generate generic social media posts, NPM is dedicated to knowing the particular details of your business to create unique social media posts that demonstrates knowledge of your company and your clientele. Whether it is a staffing change, the birthday of your owner, a change in location, or a new product that you want to unveil, NPM attention to detail helps get the word out to strengthen your relationship with your community. NPM never generates generic material for your company but pays attention to the small details which helps you stand out from your competitors. Computer algorithms generate generic posts; NPM attention to detail creates localized, community-oriented, attention to detail posts for your business. Let us be your da Vinci for all your social media marketing needs. 

Fall In Love With Your Business Again

Happy Valentine's Day! Valentine's Day is always one of our favorite holidays because we love seeing the public display of flowers, hearts, chocolate, and sweet cards. Most importantly, Valentine's Day is a time where we can show appreciation to family, grandparents, partners, and spouses. However, Valentine's Day can also be a way for people to not show love to just others, but also to other businesses! Giving time and money to other businesses is a way to support the people, and it would be much appreciated on Valentines Day. Though it is important to celebrate this day with other people, it can also be a reminder to celebrate this holiday with your business; fall in love with your business again! Too many times businesses open, excited and exhilarated, but then the honey-moon phase is over, and you’re reminded that running a business is not all that fun. Being a small-business owner is not all Hershey kisses and roses (our personal favorites). Read below to see how you can fall in love with your business again!

• Join networking groups: Joining networking groups is a great way to find motivation and business! Find a local business network near you that has a high-energy environment, and you’ll be guaranteed to pick up on the contagious energy. Most networking groups meet once a week, and this is a great opportunity to meet new business partners or get referrals. Socializing with business owners like yourself is a great way to revive the love and energy you once had for your business!

• Plan ahead for the future: Not only do you need to work for your business, you need plan ahead! It may seem banal and uninspiring, but planning ahead can give you a vision for the future, and motivation to improve the current state your business is in. Planning ahead allows you to see the bigger picture, a create a map to guide you to the place you want your business to be. Each week, set some time to fully focus on the future of your business, and the steps you can take to get there. 

• Work smarter, not harder: Taking time to drudge through the parts of the business that aren’t fun can dreary and dull. Whenever you do the paperwork, the taxes, the referrals, and and more, make sure to work productively and to not waste time. Examine the way you manage your work, employees, meetings, services and see if you are productively scheduling to make the most of your time. Research the new technology inventions or brainstorm new work tactics to make better workflow and improve your business.

• Remember why you started: When the future of your business does not look bright, remember why you opened it in the first place. What sparked the passion behind it? What motivated you to open it? Even if your dreams with your business do not look achievable, put in the effort to remember the positive moments that you’ve had. A way to do this is make a list of things you're grateful for that your business has brought you. Whether its meeting new people, gaining new clients, or going to new places, your business has always brought you something valuable. Don’t lose hope in your business. Even if the honeymoon phase is over, put in effort and patience to keep your love alive. 

Here at Newton Peach Marketing, we want to help you love your business more than ever before! With having us manage your website, google listings, and social media accounts, your love for your business will grow when you see the major improvements we can do. We strive on growing personal relationships with owners to help them reach a better love for their company. With several custom options available, we want you to fall back in love this Valentines Day with your company. Newton Peach is proud to help your business grow, and make you fall back in love with your dream.

Hit the Ground Running: Benefits of Running for Exercise

A New Year means new goals. What is yours?

Almost 50% of people who make new years resolution create a goal for exercising more, but few actually follow through with it. Many times, roadblocks like lack of money, no transportation, or no time are listed as reasons for falling off the exercise bandwagon. However, there is one type of exercise that costs very little, and you can do anywhere.

Are you ready to RUN??

Though running gets a reputation for being no fun, it is actually one of the most beneficial forms of exercise you can do. Not only is running an amazing aerobic exercise for your heart, it also produces serotonin (a hormone that increase the body’s feelings of wellbeing and happiness). Below are some benefits from running that may change your mind about the exercise:

Running adds years to your life

Many studies have shown that running increases your lifespan. How? After a period of time running, the human body shows an increase in cardiovascular fitness, lower cholesterol, less body fat, stronger bones, better hormone regulation, and all of these (and more) are key to good health and therefore, a likely increase in your lifespan.

Increase in sleep

Sleep is important for every human’s functional wellbeing. Whether you’re an athlete, a mom, or a businessman, everyone requires sleep. Because of the intensity of running, your body is going to be tired and will crave the rest and recovery your needs. An article in the American Journal of Lifestyle Exercise touted a connection between exercise and sleep; the worse your sleep habits, the less likely you are going to exercise, and vice versa.

Weight loss

Everyone knows that cardio helps you lose weight. Running burns more fat than (almost) any other activity because you are using your entire body through the duration of the exercise. On average, running burns 100 calories per mile! Many people find that losing weight is not difficult, but keeping it from coming back is. The only way to keep off the weight is to commit to a long-term exercise regime, and running fulfills that need.

Reduces Alzheimers, cancer, and many other diseases

A completely unexpected health benefit of running is the stimulated release of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which helps the growth and survival of brain neurons. This aids in protection from brain plaques linked to Alzheimers. A study done in the Journal of the American Medical Association showed a connection that high-fitness exercises had a lower risk for developing 26 kinds of cancers. Along with lowering the risk, running can also reduce the effects of cancer if someone already has it.

It’s no secret that running pushes the mind and the body, but there are SO many benefits when you commit to a routine of physical exercise. Here at Newton Peach Marketing, we also strive to push ourselves, by committing to continued growth and effort in our business. This new year, we are focused on growing personal relationships with owners to help them reach their new-year business goals. With many custom options available, we are focused on your personalized plan to help you expand your business. We want to see you and your business flourish in 2022!

Paying Forward Your Blessings: Celebrating Thankfulness This Holiday Season

As many of us prepare for the holiday season with Thanksgiving this week (and Christmas right behind!), it's a good time to reflect on the many things we're thankful for this year. Perhaps you're most thankful to be gathering with friends and family for the first time in a long time, or maybe you're thankful for a new job (or keeping your old one) after a period of uncertainty. Whatever it is you are thankful for, it's so important to take time to remember and be grateful. It's also important to recognize that there are many around us who are still dealing with sadness, uncertainty, and other difficulties that make the holiday less celebratory, and more of a reminder of what isn't going well. That's why it's so important to give back. Whether it's through a community organization, a local ministry, or on your own, here are some ways you can pay the blessings forward this Thanksgiving season:

• Donate your time. Taking a few hours to serve at a local shelter, help pack boxed Thanksgiving dinners for families in need, or making extras of your own Thanksgiving feast to deliver to shut-in neighbors are just a few simple means of spreading some love during the days leading up to Thanksgiving day.

• Feeding Bodies = Feeding Souls. A good, hot meal is always welcome to those who are accustomed to going without, but this is especially true on Thanksgiving. Many food pantries tend to run low on items at this time of year, but if you're willing to step up, they don't have to! Organize a food drive in your neighborhood to collect canned foods and dry goods, or provide grocery gift cards for your local shelter. This helps them increase their stock of items on the shelves, and make it possible for more families to enjoy a Thanksgiving dinner of their own. You'll fill bellies and brighten spirits with your kindness!

• Look ahead. Because Christmas follows so closely behind Thanksgiving, now is a great time to look for opportunities to serve others through holiday events and organizations. There are many programs that let you "adopt" a child or a family for the Christmas season to provide gifts and/or a holiday meal. Many homeless ministries are looking for extra hands for a variety of projects around this time of year. Fundraising for your local charities, or simply going out caroling with a group of friends is a wonderful way to spread cheer this season.

We encourage you to take time this holiday to reflect on the many ways we've been blessed this year, and look for opportunities to pay it forward to those around us.

Happy Halloween for EVERYbody: Three Ways to Make Halloween More Inclusive This Season

Halloween is just a couple of weeks away. Kids (and adults) are picking out the perfect costume and preparing for lots of fun, and PLENTY of candy. While some families will still be participating in traditional trick-or-treating in nearby neighborhoods, other families here in Polk County might not yet feel comfortable going out in droves to take part. What's more, there are children and adults in our community who have never been able to participate in a traditional way (even before the pandemic) due to limiting factors like varying physical abilities, food allergies, or difficulty going out at the traditional time on Halloween. Perhaps more than ever before, we could all use the fun and magic that comes with a holiday, and making sure everyone in our community can participate matters to us! Here are three ways you can make Halloween more inclusive this year, both for your family and for those around you:

• Offer allergy-friendly treats. Having a separate bucket of stickers or small trinkets and toys is a great way to provide an alternative option for kids who have allergies or are too young to enjoy typical candies and sweets. Often, allergy-friendly treats are differentiated with a teal bucket, but if you don't have one, just put a label out (or tell people yourself if you're present!) so parents will know how to help their child choose best.

• Make your setup accessible for everyone. If trick-or-treaters must make it up your driveway, over uneven pavers, up stairs, etc. to get to the treats on Halloween, it doesn't make it easy for ghosts or goblins who might be limited by walking difficulty or being wheelchair bound. If you set up a candy station at the end of your driveway or walkway, you make sure ALL spooky visitors can get to the goods, which they (and their families!) will appreciate.

• Consider BOOing your neighbors! If you know there are families in your neighborhood who can't trick or treat in the traditional way because of health risks or work schedules, you could bring a big smile to their face by BOOing them...in the nicest way possible of course! Pack up a basket with fun Halloween treats, a spooky craft, and/or some fun activities like bubbles or sidewalk chalk, and leave it on their doorstep with a note letting them know they had a ghostly visitor to bring a little holiday fun. Anonymous or not, you can feel good knowing you spread some happiness!

Newton Peach Marketing believes in community and caring for your neighbor. That’s why we stand for small businesses and want to see them succeed!

Best Books To Read In the Summer

Guest Post by Autumn Kloth

What is better than reading a book outside on a sunny day, next to beautiful water drinking lemonade? That’s right, reading multiple books! At Newton Peach Marketing, we set quality time aside to explore books of different genres (including ones that help grow YOUR business). We’ve collected some of our favorite books we’ve read so far this summer, and that we highly recommend! Keep reading below to see our favorite picks so far this season:

• 1776 by David McCullough: David McCullough narrates the intense story of how America broke away from being a British colony to its own independent nation. With George Washintgon as its leader, the newfound nation faces huge struggles and challenges that shapes the America we live in today. The story also follows the British soldiers, and the feelings and contempt they felt for the “redcoat” traitors, while fighting with courage little known. The story shows many narrations and ideas, from learning about how the American Loyalists felt, to catching the traitors on both sides, to seeing how families were torn apart during this time. The readers learn about two rarely known American patriots, Nathanael Greene and Henry Knox, who were instrumental to the success of defeating the British Empire. Most importantly, the readers will follow the leadership of George Washington, and read how he brought America from the edge of defeat to victory using brilliant tactics and thinking. 

• Beloved by Toni Morrison: Meant for mature readers only, this book tells the story of Sethe, a mother, who escaped slavery. Almost 20 years later, though she is physically free, she is not mentally free, as she fights against remembering the horrid past of her slave years. When a past friend from “Sweet Home”, the ironically named place where she was a slave, comes to visit her, with him opens memories that she has struggled to forget. Lastly, her house is haunted by her deceased baby daughter, Beloved, who makes it clear she is not going away anytime soon. This book is poetically written and lyrically inspired, and has all the technique and language of an Nobel Prize Winner, Toni Morrison.  

•  Rumble Fish by S.E. Hinton: Written by the bestselling author of “The Outsiders,” Rumble Fish follows the story of Rusty-James, the coolest and toughest guy in school who goes to Benny’s to shoot pool and hang out with his friends. As he is not known to be smart, he inspires to be like his brother, Motorcycle Boy, whose smarts, wits, and fighting skills earn him the reputation of being one of the most respected people on the streets. Whenever Rusty-James gets in trouble, his brother is there to help him out. As Rusty-James struggles with comparing himself to his brother, one day his brother isn’t there to help him out. 

On top of reading some inspiring and amazing books this summer, we dedicate time reading informative books and research papers on how to better you and your business. We believe that dedicating reading time on new marketing ideas directly impacts the growth of your business, and we are excited to continue this reading to help your business flourish. 

Top water-front dining places in Winter Haven, Florida

Summer in Florida is officially here! Get ready for the hot days, beaches, salty air, and occasional rain showers. A summer spent in Florida is considered “paradise”, as the outside weather is always above par, and you can walk in the mornings, tan in the afternoon, and view the beautiful sunsets in the evenings. In Winter Haven, summer also means the busiest time for boats on the Chain of Lakes. From tubing, longboarding, water-skiing, and more fun water-filled activities, everyone seems to be having a blast soaking up the rays and enjoying the sun. All that fun requires a big appetite to fulfill, which is exactly what water-front dining places in Winter Haven offer! Below are the best boat-friendly water-front dining places in Polk County to stop by with your family after a fun filled day on the lake!:

• Harborside: It is hard to beat the views, food, and service Harborside offers to their customers. Known for their fresh seafood dishes, both offered during lunch and dinner, Harborside serves up a classy and yet family-friendly experience to all. Dining is offered on the main level, outside, and low level (which is part outside as well). Whether you want to take your family for a nice experience, or pull up on the boat and get some food, Harborside offers it all. The Sunset Room (infamous for its name) is the fully private room that directly faces the water with flat-screen TV capabilities, as well as special service and dining options. Harborside also has a lower bar, which you can walk to right off the boat, and the main bar, which includes several TV’s. Did we mention the pier? Right where you park your boat, you can get out and take family pictures against the beautiful Winter Haven sunset!

• Tanner’s Lakeside Restaurant and Bar: With beautiful food and amazing shrimp, it’s hard to beat Tanner’s at pretty much anything. Located directly on Lake Howard, Tanner’s faces the business of the Chain and the well-known sunsets on a day-to-day basis. Tanner’s is known ot having the most amazing shrimp-and-grits in Polk County, and also brags about having the most entertaining live bands in Central Florida. If you definitely want to have fun, sit at their bar! You’ll meet cool Haveners and make some friends. You can follow them on facebook @TannersLakeside where they post weekly about upcoming speakers and live bands. They are very friendly to dogs (as long as you keep them on a leash) and have both indoor and outdoor seating. Expect to see some gators while you’re there! Because of their popularity, they are going to start a good truck! Keep you eyes pealed open for “The Tiki”. 

• The Twisted Prop is on par for being as family friendly as Harborside. The Twisted Prop offers both inside and outside dining, so if you and your family want a more “classy” environment, go for the inside, where there is spacious room and nice TV’s. Coming right off the boat, hang outside under the nice, cool umbrellas and family seating. Right off of Lake May, they are known for their delicious wings, jalapeno mac and cheese, and other well-cooked American foods! Their service is some of the best in Winter Haven, and it is not unusual to see the owner come around and ask how your meal is going. At their bar they also have live music going on, so stop on in, grab a beer, and let loose a little!

Newton Peach is proud to have partnered with several of these restaurants to expand their business and making them more noticed on the Chain. Newton Peach Marketing works closely with the target audience of these restaurants and businesses in order to grow their reach they have on local customers. Newton Peach Marketing is focused on growing personal relationships with these owners to help them reach their goals and maximize their profit. With custom options available, we are focused on your own personalized plan to help you expand your business. Hope to see you out on the water soon!

Fun in Florida: Tips for Enjoying Your Memorial Day in The Sunshine State

Memorial Day weekend is coming up fast, and that means it's time for some fun in the sun! Whether you're new to the area, a longtime resident planning a staycation, or simply visiting the Sunshine State to soak up some rays, Florida is a hot destination (literally!) for people to enjoy their holiday weekend. It's no surprise of course, thanks to our beaches, theme parks, delicious food, gorgeous lakeside sunsets, and, of course, the variety of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. We have a few tips to make sure your Memorial Day weekend is a success, no matter where you're from or how long you'll be here:

• Bring your sunscreen! This is a no-brainer for time outside in Florida. Even if you're just relaxing in your own backyard by the pool, sunscreen is a must-have for time outdoors. Nothing is more miserable than trying to enjoy your Memorial Day vacation with a sunburn! Be sure to get a product that is waterproof, and remember to reapply every couple of hours for the most effective protection.

• Go off the beaten path. There are so many places in Florida that are often overlooked thanks to our close vicinity to Disney World, Daytona Beach, Clearwater Beach, and other popular hotspots. If you're wanting to see true, native Florida and plenty of wildlife, nearby Circle B Bar Reserve is the perfect place for an afternoon hike. Don't forget your camera...you're SURE to see a variety of birds, lizards, snakes, armadillos, and more than a few gators. If that's not your thing, cool off in the natural springs at Weeki Wachee Springs State Park. Not only is the spring beautiful and cool to swim in, but there are water slides, "real" mermaids, a fun kiddie pool area, and more. Don't forget local cities like Winter Haven have plenty of well-known restaurants and shops that are great for an afternoon relaxing after spending time on the lake, and you won't have to battle the crowds that congregate in Orlando or Tampa.

• Get the best experience by choosing local. Anyone can go to a chain steakhouse or a fast-food joint, but if you truly want to experience Florida, you need to look closely for the beauty right here in our own backyard. Instead of a hotel, choose a rental home, apartment, or condo for your time in Florida. This will let you relax with a lake view, or experience some of the smaller towns outside of the main attractions. Local restaurants often serve seafood and produce from providers right here in our immediate area, giving you the true flavor of the state. Our local shops often sell handmade items, or items sourced from nearby crafters or artists, which lets you take a piece of Florida home with you at the end of your holiday.

We hope you enjoy your Memorial Day weekend and that you spend the time reflecting on the reason for the holiday, and enjoying time with the ones you care about most. If your time in Florida brings you near the Winter Haven area, welcome! We hope you enjoy your time here. If you're new to the area and plan to stay, we'd love to be a resource for you as you adjust to life in Polk County. We're here to answer your questions, even if it’s just to find out our opinion of the best local eateries and dives! If you're relocating your business to Winter Haven, or starting up a brand new one, we’re here to help you make it a success from day one. Call us about building your brand here in our community. Welcome to the Sunshine State!

Lucky to Live Here! How #28daysoflocal Impacted Newton Peach Marketing

With St. Patrick's Day coming up fast, everyone has luck on the brain. We can’t help but feel pretty lucky already though, after February's #28daysoflocal campaign. What started out simply as a goal to bring exposure to other local businesses after a hard year, ended up opening our own eyes to our community, and all of the hidden gems that surround us each day. We visited 28 different Winter Haven businesses and organizations, and were thankful to meet their owners, managers, and staff during our time taking photos and learning about what they offer. What are the three main things we took away from this experience?

It's vital that we learn to put down the keyboard, and PICK UP THE KEYS!

With online shopping growing exponentially during the COVID crisis, small businesses and local stores took a huge hit. Unfortunately, some of them didn't survive. It's our job to make sure that the ones who made it are able to keep their doors open, and not just survive, but thrIve. When it's time to shop for a birthday present, baby shower, or teacher gift, don't pick up your phone or jump on the computer. Take a little extra time to head downtown to a local shop where unique gifts, friendly staff, and your very own neighbors are waiting. Remember, Amazon won't be there to support your child's t-ball team or sponsor a local school event, but the shops and businesses of our own community care about you and the area we live in.

Local business owners are resilient.

This year could have turned into chaos for many local businesses, but the owners we met during our February visits took the opportunity to pivot and make the best of a new way of doing things. Restaurants who depended on in-person dining started offering takeout or delivery options. Shops and stores learned how to manage online shopping and delivery so they could still reach customers from home. Organizations brainstormed ways to continue to give back to the community and support those who depend on them in new (safe) ways. We were surprised by, and admire, all the ways our local businesses have adapted and overcome in the last year.

Winter Haven is full of hidden treasures!

From delicious lunches and crafted coffee, to fun stores full of unique and creative gifts, we discovered SO many businesses that we missed in the hustle and bustle of daily life. Taking time to really slow down and look at our city, and then make an effort to shop, eat, and live locally, opened our eyes to just how lucky we are to live here. This is a special area, and not only do the business owners care about the city, but they care about their customers and clients. We are thankful to have discovered these gems and look forward to visiting all of them many times over in the future.

Newton Peach Marketing is proud to serve Winter Haven businesses with social media and digital marketing services across all platforms. Our goal is to help owners reach their goals, and we work closely with them to reach their target audience, gain exposure in and around their local area, and grow both their reach and their profit. With packages of all size, and custom options available, there's a plan for every business that needs help. What can we do for you?

Holiday Cheer After A Hard Year: Make Spirits Bright with Your Holiday Decor This Season

When it comes to Christmas decorations, people usually fall somewhere in between two points on this spectrum: outdoor extravaganza or no Christmas lights outside at all. No matter where you fall on the scale, it's no secret that Christmas lights are a favorite pastime, from small communities to the big city, and Polk County is no exception. Lakeland, Winter Haven, and even nearby Tampa and Orlando are known for having impressive commercial light displays, in addition to homeowners who have developed a reputation for their cheery and bright decor. Even if you don't choose to go all out, adding a little bit of seasonal fun to your home's exterior is a great way to spread Christmas spirit, and this year more than ever before, that could be a big deal to you AND to passerby.

Here are our three favorite ideas for fun and affordable outdoor decor as you deck the halls for Christmas:

1. Every tree can be a Christmas tree. Even if you can't adorn each shrub and tree in tightly wound lights, you can easily (and cheaply) decorate the trees in front of or around your home with a strand or two of inexpensive lights, and some large-scale ornaments found at your discount or dollar store. These ornaments are easily hung in branches with simple fishing line and they add a fun pop of interest to the branches (or palm fronts!). Turn your front yard into a holiday wonderland by making EVERY tree a Christmas tree, and placing some fun treats or goodies for neighbors underneath for a socially distanced, drive-by holiday party. Your friendly smile and a "Merry Christmas" from your front porch is sure to brighten their season.

2. Make it a musical. So, you've put out lights, a few fun lawn ornaments, and still aren't feeling as festive as you were hoping? Add some Christmas tunes to your setup this year! A simple speaker or two can easily be placed on a front porch, or, even in the edge of an open garage, and used to spread Christmas magic through song. Choose upbeat, classic carrolls that will add a little bit of happiness and normalcy to this Christmas as your friends and neighbors drive or walk by. Are you REALLY feeling adventurous? Look for online tutorials for setting up your lights and timers to go along with the music for your own private holiday show.

3. Go big! Sometimes less is more...and sometimes you want BIG impact from your holiday decor. If this is the year you're ready to supersize your curb appeal, there are a lot of great options! Large-scale inflatable Christmas decor is popular now and can be found at any big box or hardware store. From giant, working snowglobes to fun and familiar movie characters, you're sure to find something that makes you smile and gives your neighbors a chuckle. When it comes to Christmas inflatables, the bigger the better!

We hope you'll take time to reflect this year on what really matters, and enjoy the holiday season for all it's meant to be: a time to celebrate peace, hope, joy, love, and be thankful for our blessings and the ones we care about most. While 2020 has certainly been less than ideal, we believe that spreading kindness this Christmas is a great way to bring joy to yourself at the same time, and will make this holiday one to be remembered for the right reasons. Newton Peach Marketing is proud to live in such a supportive, resilient community, and we are honored to work alongside our Winter Haven friends, neighbors, and fellow businesses as we find new ways to make this holiday memorable and merry. To you and your household, we wish you a VERY Merry Christmas.

Be a Responsible Reviewer: Kindness and Honesty Can Coexist

In a world where much of our goods and services come to us via the internet, it's no surprise that a good deal of our communication comes through a screen as well. While the convenience and accessibility of the internet has made life easier in many ways, there are aspects of it that aren't so rosy, and it's impacting small business owners in ways you might not expect. This tool is being used as a weapon in the hands of clients and customers, and can do damage beyond repair if not closely monitored.

So, what is it?

Reviews.

Yep. While reviews have many positives, including giving clients and customers the opportunity to make informed decisions, it has a darker side. Unfortunately, many review platforms do not allow for the editing or removal of reviews by anyone other than the individual who wrote or posted it in the first place, leaving business owners at the mercy of what's being said about them by the general public, even if some of the claims are false. Think about it: every moment of every day was being watched and you were being rated and judged on how you handle each scenario. You'd slip up sometimes right? Absolutely. We all have bad days, and momentary lapses in our decision making or behavior. Fortunately we aren't judged like this in real life...but business owners are. Every time they provide a service or product to a customer, they're at the mercy of another's opinion. Whilte this is mostly beneficial, weeding out quality providers and giving customers a "heads up" about the best places to receive certain goods or services, there are times it's not so great, including:

• When an employee makes a mistake, and the customer slams the entire company or brand online instead of contacting the owner first

• When a "troll" unnecessarily reviews businesses badly, with no actual evidence or experience to back up their bad review (aka, someone who lies to bring down businesses on purpose)

• When a disgruntled former employee or someone connected to the business uses the review platform as a weapon toward those whom they hold a grudge against

These scenarios happen on a regular basis for small business owners across the country each day, and while larger corporations can brush off negative reviews, it's a lot harder for small, localized brands. In the numbers game, one bad review can bring down their overall score significantly, impacting how they show up in search engines and on social platforms, and affecting how many people choose to use their business. So, what can you do?

Be a responsible reviewer. If you have a bad experience or are dissatisfied with a product, contact the owner first. Many times they are willing to work with you to make the situation right with a reimbursement, credit, replacement service, etc. If the owner isn't willing to work with you or acts unreasonably, then by all means, let people know about the situation, but do so in a diplomatic and factual way. Throwing around hateful comments or personal feelings does nothing to help the situation and ends up making you look less professional. Sticking to the facts is always the way to go! Also, remember to leave POSITIVE reviews! If you have a good experience or love a new brand you've found, let them know! These positive reviews help build their brand online and boost their numbers, offsetting the effects of irresponsible reviews or internet trolls and helping the owner protect their good name.

Newton Peach Marketing is proud to support local businesses throughout the Central Florida area, and as a fellow small business, we understand the importance of building your brand and reputation online! We don't just post content and oversee advertisement campaigns. We manage your online presence in its entirety, including reviews and messages from customers and clients. You can breathe easy knowing that incoming opinions about your business are being handled promptly, and you'll be notified if something needs your attention ASAP. Give us a call and see what we can do to help you grow and manage YOUR business.

When Working from Home Isn't Working for You: Tips for Making the Most of Your Space

Are you still working from home due to COVID concerns in the workplace? One major change we've seen in society since the beginning of this pandemic is the shift in employer mentality regarding remote workers and what they can do for business. More and more business owners are realizing that many, if not all, of their employees and staff can efficiently perform their job responsibilities from home, without the overhead of renting office space, paying for utilities and office supplies, etc. If you're one of these employees, working from home probably seemed grand for the first few weeks. 

Until, it wasn't. 

If you weren't prepared for, or accustomed to, working from home, it's a big change, and it isn't always easy. Many people don't have a home office set up as a regular part of their layout. If you have children, your work days might be more than a little chaotic as you balance conference calls, reports, and dealing with clients while shielding your computer from PB&J sandwiches and a game of football toss. Even if you don't have kids at home during the work day, simply not having a space to designate for work can be draining. You feel like work never actually ends, as your kitchen table is now your desk and workspace as well. 

The best solution would be to add on an office or two, right? As much as we support that decision, it's just not a likely option for many families. While not everyone can add on or designate an entire room to be an office, there are ways you can make an in-home workspace possible without spending a fortune on materials or furniture. Where should you start? 

• Spare rooms. Do you have a guest room that is currently empty? What about a walk-in closet that doesn't get much use? Look for any spare areas in your home that could be "loaned out" as an office for you. Small, modular desk systems are easy to customize for small spaces, so you could fit a corner workspace into that guest room, or turn that closet into your own office hideout. Thinking creatively is the best way to start.

• Getting creative with furniture. If you don't have a spare room, putting a new spin on pieces of furniture is another great option. Look for a hutch or writing desk system that closes up. Placing something like this in a dining room, kitchen area, or even bedroom allows you a place to store work computers, materials, and more, but doesn't leave it strewn about at the end of the day. You can closet the doors or lid, and visually "end" your work day. 

• Collaborate and share the load. Do you have local friends or nearby neighbors also working from home? Perhaps you could coordinate to take shifts, letting your home be the "hangout" for everyone's kids for a few hours each morning, and then trading off in the afternoon. That allows each household to have a window of quiet, uninterrupted time each day to take care of conference calls, client consultations, and other tasks that are nearly impossible in a busy, noisy home. 

• Check on your timing. If balancing kids and work is a struggle with your limited space. consider your schedule. Is there a way you could pack in more work hours early in the morning before your kids are awake and rolling? Could you create a designated "quiet" time that serves as a power hour for your job? Coming together as a family and working as a team where everyone is heard is the best way to make working from home go more smoothly. 

Newton Peach Marketing works with some of the best business owners in the greater Polk County area, and we've seen them admirably rise to the occasion during the COVID crisis of this past year. They have altered schedules, worked around their employees' needs, and shown, once again, what a WONDERFUL place Winter Haven can be.

Is your business blossoming in the midst of 2020? If not, Newton Peach Marketing would love to come alongside you and help you formulate a plan to get your name in front of the customers and clients who need to see it most. Our goal is to help you meet YOUR goals. Call for a consultation! 

Mask Wearing Simplified: Tips As Florida Reopens

Businesses are reopening, people are heading back to work and their various activities, and kids are even going back to school (in some form), but that doesn't mean life looks the same as it did before COVID came along. Distancing and excessive hand washing aren't the only new policies that are part of our "new normal,” as masks have become the hottest (literally!) fashion trend and are required in many places across the US. For some of us this new accessory has been a difficult and uncomfortable adjustment. Getting used to breathing through fabric, sore spots on the backs of our ears and head from straps or cords, remembering to bring it EVERYWHERE...these reasons and more are why masks have added a bit of complication to daily life. 

While we can't say it will make it fun to wear a mask, we have some tips to help as you transition into this new way of life: 

Don't like breathing through the fabric? We get it. It doesn't feel normal to have a piece of cloth covering your nose and mouth. If possible, look for masks made with breathable fabrics that still offer the protection you need. Many companies are making masks that allow better airflow to your face without sacrificing viral-blocking capabilities. Another tip? Make sure you wash the mask in something with a pleasant scent. Don't use harsh chemicals or overpowering fragrances, as this will make it even more difficult to breathe in the mask each day. 

Ears are sore? Look for masks that have a tie for the back of the head instead of the ears, OR look for an "ear-band" that binds the ear loops on a regular mask together behind your head, leaving your ears free. These bands are being sold by many small, local crafters right now, as well as several bigger box online stores. They come in a variety of styles, but all function in similar ways: to attach the ear loops of a mask to something OTHER than your ears. 

Hard to keep track of which mask is clean? With everyone in the family wearing masks now, it can get frustrating making sure there are plenty of clean ones to go around. We suggest having a designated spot for each person to keep their stash of clean masks, and then have a basket either in your laundry space, by the front door, or even near the regular laundry hamper for used masks only. That makes it easy to sanitize them all at once and they don't get lost in the regular load of laundry. Aim to have at least 3 masks each in your family. One to wear, one in the wash, and one as a backup is a good rule of thumb; although, having more is always a plus in case laundry day gets delayed. 

Keep forgetting your mask? Nothing is as frustrating as getting to work, the grocery store, a restaurant, school, etc. and realizing you left your mask at home. Keeping a backup mask on hand in your car, or investing in a small box of disposable medical masks to keep under the front seat, is a great way to make sure you're never left in a bind. 

We hope these tips help make the mask wearing more manageable as you head back into the world in the coming weeks. We are thankful to be back out in the community with our clients, catching up and seeing their faces (or at least, part of their faces) after so many months apart and communicating via technology! Has your business suffered because of the limited face-to-face communication in recent months? We can help you develop a strategy that personally targets your audience online, making sure they feel connected to you even through social media. Call for a consultation. 

Watch Out! Warning Signs Before You Sign on the Dotted Line

As a marketing agency here in Winter Haven, Newton Peach Marketing is used to seeing other agencies of all sizes and types come into the area. We often have clients, and potential clients, ask us about some of their offerings, and how we are different. While each marketing consultant will bring their own unique specialties and style to the table, and those aren't necessarily right or wrong (more of a taste preference), there are some red flags you should watch for as a business owner before you choose a company and sign a contract.

• Companies that create your accounts for you...in THEIR name! This is a huge issue we face when we take on clients who previously used another agency. If you do not have control and full access to your own business accounts within Facebook, Google, Twitter, Instagram, etc. then something is wrong. You, as the business owner, should never be second in command when it comes to platforms advertising your business. Before you give your login information to the company doing your work, ask to be made the primary owner/administrator on all accounts, and require that they turn over all login information to you for accounts they create. 

• Companies that claim to offer custom content, but are actually content sharing with everyone. This is a common practice, and while not wrong by most accounts, it's not effective for marketing your business and isn't going to get the results you want. You're being charged premium prices for content that isn't tailored to you or your business, but rather, is shared across multiple clients in that same field. So, if you're an AC company and your marketing agency just posted a blog link about summer maintenance, chances are every other AC service company they work with got the exact same link. 

• Agencies that have their main office in an entirely different state (or country) than your business. How can you expect premium customer care if the person representing your business online isn't even familiar with your area? Much of digital marketing revolves around connecting you with potential customers by using local wording, trending topics, etc. in your own unique region. A one size fits all marketing agency can't offer that, no matter what they say. 

Newton Peach Marketing serves local businesses in the Winter Haven area because we ARE a business in Winter Haven. We consider clients our own friends and neighbors, and often frequent their businesses as customers ourselves. We offer in-person meetings, constant availability to handle questions and concerns, and we truly seek to manage your social media platforms and online presence in the same way you would. Content is tailored to you, and you are always the one holding the reins when it comes to how your brand is represented. Call for a free quote and let us help you grow your business the RIGHT way! 

Networking Matters Now More Than Ever: Tips for Employers and Applicants

With Florida preparing to slowly open businesses back up to the public, many employers are looking around at their now sparse staff and wondering how they're going to start up again. A quick hire without forethought can be bad news for your business, but we also know you're in a pinch to fill spaces quickly! The same is true for those who are now unemployed due to the recent shutdown  and face the uphill climb of finding a new job. Blindly going through the motions of trying to find the right fit can be time consuming, stressful, and disappointing.  Much like “cold calling” for salesmen, attempting to find employees (or find a job) without some prior connections will typically more time and more effort. Working within circles you’ve already created can make the process much more efficient. The problem, however, lies within creating those circles in the first place.  It can be hard to know how to make connection with other business owners, professionals in your area, and/or potential employees at this time, even as the re-opening process begins. Networking is the answer to making needed connections, and while it might look different for a while, there are still plenty of opportunities for you to make the connections you’re searching for!

Chamber Meetings

Your local Chamber of Commerce is a great place to start when seeking out networking opportunities.  Oftentimes in the past Chambers would host periodic meetings or gatherings where business owners (and sometimes employees) could socialize with one another and get to know others within the community.  This was when you would strike up conversations (and hopefully relationships) with other members of the Chamber in your town and use those connections for your benefit later on. While in-person meetings aren't happening yet with the current restrictions, many local Chambers are still participating in online meetings and chats via virtual platforms, and if you can get in touch by email or phone, you can probably request an "invite" to one of these virtual events. This will not only be the first step in getting to know those in your local chamber, but will also let you see how things are run within the organization and can give you perspective that will be valuable if and when in-person gatherings begin again. 

Community Involvement

Unlike the Chamber meetings, community events were often open to the public, making them a great place to find both other business owners, and potential employees. Local events were usually where vendors, business owners, and local professionals could mingle and lots of networking connections were made in this way. While those events won't happen for a while, there ARE ways to get involved in your community and make some of those same higher-level connections with professionals in your town. Look for opportunities to participate in something for the greater good of other residents in your city or neighborhood. Volunteer opportunities to help with those who are homebound, sponsoring students or organizations who are doing great things for our area during the COVID crisis, and even participating in community virtual events and chat forums can be easy ways to get your foot in the door with people who could help you fill openings in your staff, or help you find a job if you're seeking employment.

Conferences and Training 

In person conferences and work retreats are on hold for a while longer, but there are lots of training opportunities (paid and for free) online right now. By attempting to better yourself, you just might end up networking with some important connections at the same time! Both business owners and potential employees attend these types of trainings, and you never know who could be exactly the link you needed! 

Seeing local businesses thrive and grow is what Newton Peach Marketing is all about, and right now we want to make sure you feel supported as a small business owner. If you have questions about making sure your business is seen by the audience who needs your services most, or boosting your numbers online, call us for a free consultation and quote.

Coronavirus 2020: Preparation and Tips

In case you haven't heard (or seen) in the news, on social media, or simply from people chatting around you, there's a new sickness in town and it has everyone more than a little worried. Coronavirus, or more specifically, COVID-19, is sweeping the globe and taking widespread fear with it. We understand...hearing that an illness is impossible to contain, having it spread this quickly, and then being told it is "deadly" will cause panic, but we believe it's important to have to facts before you allow fear to creep in. In reality, you're more likely to catch the flu than Coronavirus, and honestly, the flu is more lethal from the standpoint of statistics. So far, Coronavirus seems to affect people over 50 the most, with people over 70 being at the highest risk for complications and death due to the sickness. Since it targets the respiratory system, those with compromised immune systems, heart conditions, or preexisting lung issues are definitely at higher risk as well. However, children and young healthy adults really have no reason to panic about being impacted heavily by the illness. What we DO need to be concerned about though is practicing safe habits that will protect vulnerable ones around us, and start to slow the spread of this virus. 

How can you do that? 

• Wash hands frequently and thoroughly using warm water and soap. Washing should last at least 20 seconds. 

• Keep your hands away from your face as much as possible. 

• Try not to touch public surfaces without first sanitizing them. Use elbows to push open doors, use a paper towel to touch faucets in public bathrooms, etc. 

• Clean your own surfaces regularly with disinfectant. This is especially true for commonly touched areas like doorknobs, light switches, remotes...even the buttons on your coffee maker or microwave are fair game for a wipe down. 

• Stay home if you feel sick. It's never worth putting others at risk. 

Newton Peach Marketing is proud to be part of a strong community that is ready to face this new threat together and fight for health throughout our area. We hope these tips help you feel more confident as we keep an eye out for Coronavirus 2020!

Have Your Mousse and Eat It Too: A Heart Healthy Recipe for Valentine’s Day

We all see it. Red hearts, Hallmark cards, and boxes of candy are everywhere you turn and it’s easy to see that love is in the air. Valentine’s Day is a popular holiday for couples (and in today’s world, for friends too) and the festivities often include delicious dinners and sweet treats. However, while Valentine’s Day is a well-known part of February, another important aspect of this month is overlooked.

February is National Heart Health Month. Heart disease is an epidemic here in the United States, and unfortunately, is a major cause of death in women. While heart disease can have many factors (including genetics), it’s no secret that a routine exercise regimen and heart-healthy diet are key components of avoiding the dangerous outcomes associated with heart disease. Unfortunately, that means many of your favorite foods might be off the table, or at the very least, altered in some way. Lowering your salt and sodium intake, watching out for unhealthy fats, and avoiding excess sugars and “fun” foods are all pieces of the puzzle when you’re building a healthier diet, but does that mean all treats are taboo? Not necessarily! With a few modifications, you can actually make some of your favorite dishes a bit more heart healthy, and when enjoyed on occasion (like Valentine’s Day!) they’re perfectly acceptable.

A popular dessert choice for many on Valentine’s Day is a rich chocolate mousse. Not only is it chocolate, which follows tradition, but it’s also luxurious and a bit more romantic than a chocolate chip cookie from the local bakery. The downfall is, this dessert, when made in its classic form, is full of unhealthy fats and is most definitely not part of a heart-conscious diet. Thankfully, there’s a solution that lets you have your mousse and eat it to! Dorothy Kern, the creator of Crazy for Crust, has a recipe for Heart Healthy Chocolate Mousse (see the full blog post and recipe here) and with a few substitutions she creates a perfectly acceptable and delicious alternative for traditional chocolate mouse that will make your significant other smile, and won’t make your doctor cringe. Want in on a fun secret? The main ingredient is avocado!

While the recipe above is a great way to boost your morale, it won’t do much to boost your business. That’s where another secret ingredient comes in. Digital marketing is the key to building your brand in your local community and across the internet, and for business owners in and around the Winter Haven area, Newton Peach Marketing is the solution. When you’re ready to grow your business give us a call.

Happy Valentine’s Day (and Happy Heart Health Month) from NPM!

365 Days of Christmas: Keep The Holiday Spirit Alive All Year Long

Christmas is a magical time of year, and no one can deny that there seems to be a certain bit of "cheer" in the air during this season. Whether it's the twinkling lights and upbeat carols, or anticipation of what's to come on Christmas Day, something makes us happier, more positive, and kinder at this time of year. This holiday season, Newton Peach Marketing is taking time to focus on just what makes this time of year so special, and how we can extend out the spirit of Christmas all year long. 

So, what does make the holidays so wonderful? 

First, we take time to focus on what actually matters. This time of year is when we step back from the hustle and bustle of work and monotony and look for opportunities to spend time with the ones we love. Making memories becomes the theme of the season and we carve out moments to bake the cookies that would ordinarily stay in the cabinet to avoid the mess, to stop for that warm cup of hot chocolate with our significant other and actually spend time cozied up in the coffee shop instead of running through the drive-thru, or to chat with our neighbor by the mailbox instead of rushing back into the house. By being willing to make time for people and memories, and not just rushing through our day-to-day, the spirit of Christmas tends to feel warmer and we feel more connected to each other. That's something we can certainly take to heart and spread out throughout the year. 

Christmas is when we focus on contentment as well. Yes, it's easy for us (especially our kids and young people) to focus on that Christmas list, whether it's going to "Santa" or to mom and dad, but overall this is the season when we focus on what we have instead of what we want. We recognize that others are less fortunate, we make charity and giving a goal, and we express thankfulness for our many blessings. Why though, do we quickly forget this when the Christmas trimmings are put away and life returns to “normal.” Practicing a spirit of contentment and gratefulness all year long is a wonderful way to extend the cheer of the holidays and to help charitable organizations function at their best all year, instead of hitting a high during the month of December and struggling during months afterward. 

Finally, Christmas is when we tend to go the extra mile. Graciously smiling at the person who cut in line at the grocery store instead of scowling and throwing out a negative comment, lending a hand to the young mom struggling with a stroller and her bags while opening a door, or "paying it forward" by picking up the tab of the person behind us in line are all ways we show "Christmas spirit" during the holidays, but sadly, by using the excuse of a holiday as our motivation, we lose out on the joy that would come from putting out this type of kindness 365 days a year. 

Wouldn't the world be a better place if we all sought to make Christmas last all year long? Let's remember what makes this season special long after the cookies are eaten and the presents have been forgotten, and do our best to make our homes and our communities reflect the spirit of the holidays every day. Our goal this year as we work with the business owners of Polk County is to offer kindness and joy in every presentation, every meeting, and each interaction with clients and customers. We can't wait to see how this impacts the city of Winter Haven and beyond. Join Newton Peach Marketing in the challenge to make this the best year yet!

Halloween at The Office: Making Your Workplace Holiday-Friendly

Halloween is coming up quickly and while employers don't necessarily have to think about their staff trick-or-treating, it is important to be aware of various holidays and how they might be used to boost employee morale. It doesn't take much money or effort to make your office environment festive, or at the very least, make the work day more conducive to your workers' need for family time on these special days. Newton Peach Marketing works with businesses of all kinds, and we've seen some pretty great ideas put into place by employers for various holidays, specifically for Halloween.

Take these tips and tricks to heart, and see what you could incorporate in your own place of business to get the spooky fun started this year:

Office Party. Let's face it, even adults enjoy a good party. While the festive cupcakes and fun treat bags of classroom parties gone by might not be the best way to celebrate anymore, an office party to celebrate fun holidays is definitely not out of the question! Whether you want to go all out with cubicle decorating or costume contests, or have a simple potluck for that day's lunch break, diverting from the usual hum-drum routine of work life with a fun, festive party is a great way to build team spirit among your staff, and have a great time as a group.

Participate in Local Events. From sponsoring a local trunk-or-treat or Fall Festival event, to handing out candy during a citywide trick-or-treating night, your business can make an impact on your community by playing a part in holiday events. This is not only a good way to give back, but it also offers free exposure for your brand, and that means more potential customers or clients for YOU. We call that a win-win.

Alter the Day's Schedule. On some holidays, especially Halloween, parents can experience work/life balance difficulties. Most of the time trick-or-treating kicks off a little before sundown, and for those who don't get off work until 6 or 7, it's nearly impossible to take care of picking up kids from daycare or sitters, getting dinner taken care of, and getting into costumes in time to get candy before night falls and it becomes more dangerous to be out on the streets (not to mention neighborhoods and HOAs with time limits for trick-or-treating). As an employer, you can win some serious points with your staff if you offer an early release from the office that day, or trade off hours with someone who doesn't have children and won't need to participate in the evening's festivities. Flexibility is key. Trust us, if you are understanding and willing to work with them, they'll be more likely to have your back when an unexpected deadline or office issue pops up.

We hope everyone here in Polk County has a safe and enjoyable Halloween this year. We look forward to seeing our local friends and neighbors out and about enjoying the fun, and are already enjoying the fun design work, festive giveaways, and other digital jobs we get to do for our clients at this time of year. Want to know how your business can make holidays work for YOU, and build your brand online by tapping into seasonal content? Call us! Happy Halloween!

Building Your Business Starts with Building a Network: How Referrals Work

If you've followed Newton Peach Marketing for any period of time, know how much we value a referral system, and how we are big supporters of networking when it comes to building businesses of all sizes. When new business owners (or even longtime business owners for that matter) hear the terms "referral" or "networking" though, they could be confused by exactly what those words mean, and how they play into growing a client base and seeing their profits increase. It's important to know that knowing the meaning of the terms matters for sure, but knowing how to implement them in your own business matters just as much, and will be key in seeing maximum growth.

When we mention referrals, we don't just mean a positive review from a previous customer. A referral can be a customer, but it could also be a friend, a fellow business owner, or someone you've met through a specific referral program. Regardless of what your connection with the individual might be, what's important to note is how they help your business through a referral. While a simple Google review is helpful, and will help you build a reputation, a true referral is when an individual specifically connects you with a "hot" lead for a new customer or client. This essentially means they contact the lead and mention your name, give them your contact information (this could be a phone number, Email address, website, or even your business card), and encourage them to utilize your product or service. By using their personal relationship with the person they increase your chances exponentially over a simple cold call. We all know how important word of mouth is when it comes to business, whether finding the best place in town to get a good burger, to the best plumber for a leaking pipe. Referrals are really an "organized" word of mouth process. They help you get the word out about your product or service in a personalized way, and that can be huge in growing your business locally and beyond.

A network is also key in growing your business, and is essentially made up of referrals at its heart, although it goes beyond this. A network, in this context, is a group of people you can count on for continued referrals. This could be something you've just built on your own, or through a club or organized group of business owners, but regardless it's meant to grow on itself and lead to increased referrals over time. Picture it like a tree. You start with a single referral (the "seed" if you will) and that grows into a client for you. That client then refers you to three of their friends and/or fellow business owners (your first branches), which eventually turn into steady customers, and then refer you to several of their friends. Over time, that initial referral and new client turn into countless referrals and/or customers, and that can lead to explosive business growth if it takes off. This is why many business owners invest in clubs or organizations that are based on building networks. Newton Peach Marketing is proud to be part of our local BNI chapter here in Winter Haven. BNI has over 9,000 chapters around the world, and while they are a wonderful option for many businesses, there are plenty of smaller, localized options as well, including your own local Chamber of Commerce.

Regardless of how you choose to go about growing your business with referrals and networking opportunities, we hope you'll look into somehow incorporating the above techniques into your plan for the coming year. We've seen so many clients experience the excitement of growth by simply building a group of referral contacts. We've also seen business owners grow in big ways by taking time to invest in their business and intentionally work on building their brand and getting their name out in the community. Newton Peach Marketing specializes in customizing digital marketing plans for businesses of all sizes, and we tailor everything to your needs, your budget, and what YOU want for your business. How can we help you and become part of your network? Give us a call for more information or to schedule a consultation.
