The Stratos Social Media Club is a Small Business Owner’s Dream

Hi, I’m Kelsey. I take on too many tasks and then panic about completing them all. (Kidding, sort of).

A little insight into my life: I run a nonprofit, teach full-time, am raising a spirited 4-year-old, and am a member of the Stratos Social Media Club. As you can imagine from the roles above, my plate is pretty full. But being part of the Social Media Club has helped me juggle one of my many responsibilities these days, making things easier in ways I didn’t anticipate.

Why do I love Stratos Social Media Club? I could write a novel. But because I know you’re busy too, I’ll condense it to my top five favorite things.

1. It gave me back my time. I like to be busy, but on more than one occasion, I’ve been left regretting taking on too much at once. The social media club takes on most of the work when it comes to content creation. The team writes copy and creates graphics that I can edit to fit my business. I like writing social media content for my organization, but sometimes I just don’t have the time. Now, I feel good knowing I will always have 12 posts each month. If I have time to write more, that’s just a bonus! But if not, I know I can spend my time on something else I’m juggling and still show up for my audience on social media.

2. It sparks creativity. Sometimes I just don’t feel creative. But without fail, every single month, at least one of the social media club templates sparks another idea for me. I end up writing additional posts after filling in the templates. Good news for verbal processors too, because Stratos offers brainstorming sessions for you! Feeling stuck? Schedule a time to chat with a team member and see your list of post ideas grow.

3. Templates offer professionalism with the ability to customize. Every month I receive 12 customizable templates for posts. I know my posts will always look and sound professional, but I’m also able to add my own wording so the content fits my organization and audience. Bonus* I love that I can edit the graphic templates in Canva so that the already beautiful graphics match my organization’s brand guidelines.

4. Ease and confidence of the Scheduler. I love the ease of editing and scheduling my content in Stratosphere. I’ve used several different schedulers over the years, but Stratosphere has been my favorite. It’s straightforward and user-friendly, meaning that it doesn’t take up any additional brain space or time trying to figure out how to use it.

5. Reporting. Did I mention that you also get a monthly report on your content? I know how important it is to look at the analytics and see what’s actually working well on social media, but if I’m honest, I don’t often have the time to do so. Being part of the social media club means someone else is looking at those analytics every month and sending me a report. 

As the founder of a nonprofit organization, full-time teacher, and parent, I’m often running out of time, patience, and brain space. The Stratos Social Media Club has given me these things back and equipped me to show up more effectively on social media for my nonprofit.
