Since ‘brand’ can get a little ambiguous, depend- ing on who you’re talking to, we’re talking about your brand from a customer experience stand- point. It’s the part of your brand you focus on when you’re looking to build and maintain trust with your customers! Since this makes up a large part of how you gain brand visibility, we’re sharing our tips to get your branding beach ready for you to take some much-needed time away to recharge. DON’T SHARE THAT YOU’RE ON YOUR STAY- CATION WHILE YOU’RE AWAY While ‘transparency’ may be a part of your brand, the first thing I always recommend is not sharing that you’ll be away on social media. Many business owners have their homes listed somewhere in connection with their online platforms. Between GPS data, check-ins, or smaller businesses registering under their home address—there is a lot of vulnerability around telling the world you’re going to be heading on vacation, whether it is staycation or otherwise. This is why we suggest not making a post on your business platforms to say that you will be going on vacation for a select amount of time. Instead, take the time while you’re away to capture the content you think would resonate with your audience, and then share it when you get back! Then you get a vacation while you’re gone and a content creation vacation when you get home!

While you are enjoying yourself on staycation, I have some tips to help you maintain your brand while you’re away.
