The holiday season is popularly called a season of Joy, but as a busy small business owner you might feel like there’s hardly any time for joy!

My advice? Take a deep breath, focus on one thing at a time, take breaks, and most importantly, set yourself up for success in the new year! Setting up processes now can streamline your business world in 2024, giving you more time, freedom, and joy in your life, no matter what season it is! At Joy with Georgia, my goal is to provide you with more simplicity, balance, and beauty in your small business.


Through websites, marketing material, and digital organization my goal is to help you promote and organize your business simply so that you have more space for what lights you up ✨ Let’s make more space for joy in your busy life you deserve it!


In the fast-paced digital landscape of our world, simplicity is the key to success. Your business's online presence is not just a reflection but a powerful tool to engage clients effortlessly. Through streamlined websites and intuitive forms, you empower your customers to navigate with ease, gaining quick insights into your offerings and placing orders seamlessly. I work with clients to create a website that truly reflects their brand story and unique offerings. Book your free chat or fill out the form to get started!


As we venture into 2024, the significance of branded materials (digital and printed) cannot be overstated. These materials serve as ambassadors for your brand, leaving a lasting impression on both former and prospective clients.


  • Social media graphics (Pinterest + Instagram)

  • Instagram highlights + basic profile set-up

  • Marketing material (presentations, eBooks, greeting cards, business cards, stickers, brochures + more)



Creating systems that allow you to create, market your business, and communicate with clients with ease is going to save you so much time and decrease your overwhelm as a small business owner. I offer guided tutorials on the following platforms so that you can get organized and set up processes to grow your business but also have free time:


Trello is a collaborative project management tool that streamlines tasks and enhances productivity for small businesses by providing a visual and intuitive platform for organizing, prioritizing, and tracking projects in real-time.


Canva is a versatile graphic design platform that expedites the creation of professional-quality visual content, saving time for small businesses by offering user-friendly templates and intuitive tools for designing marketing materials, social media posts, and more.


Flodesk is an intuitive email marketing platform that saves time for small businesses by simplifying the process of creating visually appealing and effective email campaigns through its user-friendly interface and customizable templates.


In addition to any of the above, I’ll also guide you in organizing your Google Drive and computer desktop to facilitate quick access to important documents, reduce clutter, and streamline file retrieval, ultimately enhancing your overall efficiency and workflow! Book your free chat here to chat about all your organization needs.


Conclusion

To wrap up, setting up streamlined processes now can pave the way for a more organized and efficient business in 2024, providing you with the time, freedom, and joy you deserve. At Joy with Georgia, my focus is on bringing simplicity, balance, and beauty to your small business, whether through customized websites, eye-catching marketing collateral, or organizational tools like Trello, Canva, and Flodesk.
