As busy mums trying to balance family and running a business, finding ways to save time is super important. That’s where automations come in! You might be wondering, what are automations and why do I need them?
What Are Automations and Why Do You Need Them?
Automations are basically smart shortcuts that do things for you automatically. They help you manage your business without all the hassle. For busy mums like us, automations are a lifesaver. They can help us streamline tasks, reduce repetitive work, and keep everything running smoothly, even when life gets a bit chaotic.
Think about all the different parts of your business that could use a helping hand. Whether it’s scheduling social media posts, answering customer questions, or sending out email updates, automations can save us a lot of time.
My Experience with Automations
Thank goodness for automations! One thing I’m truly thankful for are the autoamtions I’ve set up in my business. Even while battling a sickness bug, everything could keep running smoothly without me.
Here are some of the tools that saved me when I was too sick to work:
- Calendly: I was able to easily reschedule all my client calls. Since Calendly is synced with my Google Calendar, I blocked out the week so no one else could book a slot while I recovered.
- MailerLite: A quick email to all my This Mum Loves Tech members let them know our first Q&A call was postponed. It was quick and stress-free!
- ThriveCart: Just because I was out of action didn’t mean my business was. My checkout platform kept my services and offers running. I still had amazing women joining the membership and booking power hours! Thanks to the automations and integrations I’ve set up with MailerLite and Calendly, clients could continue to book and pay for services without me lifting a finger.
How would your business cope if you were unwell for a week? Would sales still come through, and could you stay in touch with your clients with minimal effort?
Common Challenges Automations Can Solve
As busy mums, we often have so much on our plates. When launching a new offer or service, we might find ourselves scrambling to send emails to our clients. Automations can take this stress away. Imagine having everything set up to send out automatically when you launch something new, without you having to do it all manually.
Why Email Automations are a Must
One of the easiest ways to start with automations is through email marketing. How many times have you found yourself copying and pasting the same email to different people or BCC’ing everyone? This either leads to emails that feel impersonal, or it takes up so much time!
With email automations, you can send out personalised messages without having to write each one from scratch. Not only does this save you time, but it also makes your communication feel more genuine and friendly.
