You deserve what you tolerate.

All good! I do too. Straight up didn’t realize you were joking. It’s 4:27 ET, so I hope you enjoyed your nonexistent lunch and are salivating over your dinner of water and air.

Over the past three years we have heavily used instagram for social media marketing. We never paid a single penny to promote or boost a post. Over the years the performance of our content just stagnated. We also felt a bit held hostage to it as if we have to have a presence there or we “don’t exist.”

As a local business that prefers not to sell online, those classic social platforms don’t serve us very well. It doesn’t matter if some lady in another part of the world likes my post, she can’t come spend money in my shop.

On average we would get about a thousand views on a story and maybe a couple thousand views on a reel. But when we have staff ask our daily shoppers how they heard about us or what brought them in 80% is word of mouth.

Most customers don’t even see the content. So while initially it helped get the word out and create a brand image at this time it all feels like a waste of time and money. We paid a full time content creator to basically upload content that very few people see. Not any longer.

Google sadly seems like the biggest impact and we will continue to add updates every few weeks to our maps profiles but as far as social media goes… from now on we are going to double down on nostr.

Since nearly no one sees us on instagram we might as well have no one see us on nostr and at least be able to be proud of what we support and what we don’t.

Marketing local businesses is a challenge but word of mouth, excellent service and beautiful shops seems to continue to outperform any digital efforts.

We love our community, have created a brand that is near and dear to our customers and it is time to refocus our efforts in real life.

My wife and I run a local floral design shop and see similar results to what you describe.

I did not realize that was what your post was referencing. Sorry if that came across like I was. It was not my intent.

After years of soul searching, careful consideration of my privilege and lived experience, I am finally comfortable sharing my pronouns.

Moving forward, I ask that you use: 9mm/5.56

Please respect this decision. Gobbless.

So, the team screaming DEMOCRACY ITSELF IS LITERALLY AT STAKE in this election ad nauseum just decided to ignore their own primaries, essentially telling their entire voting base to get fucked.

Are you ready to see what can be, unburdened by what has been?

If Biden is too deficient to run for another term, how is he fit to remain in office?

Him dropping out was a function of his cognitive decline. If we’re admitting that’s the case (and we are whether his handlers will openly say it or not because up until the debate it wasn’t ever being discussed), then under what logic does it make sense for him to not also step down as president?

Well, cool, but these also look like anemic vaginas.

I'll probably revive the Nostrverse from last year.

This game flopped on release yet all I hear every few years is how they’re adding content and how it’s actually good.

Worth picking up in 2024, and is there a game you can compare it to?
