Show Notes

Today we are keeping it brief in our new series of shorts with a 20-minute episode on hooks and tips on how to hook your ideal customer.

 

What do we mean by a hook?

 

Well, Ella and Minnie are talking about the golden words that stop your ideal customer in their scrolling tracks. You have a momentary window of time to persuade someone to stop and find out more about you and your product or service. 

 

We look at:

  1. The anatomy of a hook

  2. The types of hooks you can think about using

  3. And we look at where you can use them.

 

Whether you are struggling to craft great hooks for your business or rocking hooks but could do with a refresher or perhaps some new ideas, today’s episode is for you.

 

So tune in, sit back, listen, and let us know what you think of this episode and get in touch if you have great hooks to share with us. Do continue the conversation by leaving us a message and getting in touch. Contact deets below.
