VGB does Atlanta Apparel

Verbal Gold was so excited to be invited to the Atlanta Apparel Mart for a series of Blogger Events. There were fashion shows spotlighting 2016 spring styles, seminars featuring Lush to Blush, A Southern Drawl, Seersucker + Saddles, and Living in Color Print plus we got to tour The Mart and check out some of the stores and booths.

During the Blogger Lunch and Learn, we were able to bring back some key points from the panelists about blogging:

Set aside time each week to discover new brands/trends/etc
Set time aside each week for your posts
Get involved with other bloggers in your area
- Help them boost their posts and they’ll help you boost yours, multiplying your followers
Incentives to get new followers
- i.e. Sign up for x, sweepstakes, etc (follow to be entered, enter email, etc)
Get involved in networking events (like this one) to meet fellow bloggers, plus see up and coming trends, etc
Comment on other bloggers posts
Comment back to followers on social posts and on the blog
- On FB/Twitter/Insta tag them
- Get the conversation going and interact with them on a personal level
- Gets them to start to feel a connection to you and your brand
Ask open ended questions on your posts to get followers involved, more followers, and more attention on posts
