📣 So I ask you…..
❓How do you get your posts out to your followers?

🗣️ So many times customers come into the shop and during conversation I find out that they don’t see many or any of our social media posts, and haven’t for a while 😬

❓Why do we only see some, the occasional one but not all of the posts from the people or business we follow? WHY????

😖 This drives me insane as writing for social media and trying to make good posts, informative posts, interesting posts is important to me.
I don’t want to throw out rubbish, daft, ridiculous posts, I want them to be a benefit to the reader, I’m also not one who wants to push sales down your throat! Yes I want you to see what our new stock/arrivals are but I don’t want to be just sales, sales, sales.

📣 So help me out here (well that’s anyone who might actually be able to see THIS post.)

❓What type of content do you want to see from Footprints?
❓If you are a social media expert or in the know, what type of content WORKS well, and why?

❤️ For me it’s about the WORDS, the INFORMATION, the HELPFULNESS a post can offer you.

🎶 I want you guys to be singing from the same hymn sheet as me, I want my customers to want the best for their feet or their children’s feet just like I do. I want my customers/followers to self-identify with what I’ telling/showing you, I want you to be shouting from the same corner as me and shouting about Footprints from the rooftops!

🎙️I also want FOOTPRINTS to speak your language, to directly align with your beliefs and what’s important to you, about what you are thinking, speaking, feeling about shoes, feet, foothealth, kids clothing, trends, styles, price points etc.

🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 I want to look after my FOOTPRINTS family/community, I also want to bring in new members, new followers to allow me the privilege of staying on our lovely highstreet selling you quality, FITTED footwear, gorgeous clothing, gifts and accessories 🛍️

❓Let me ask you ….
What makes you 🫵 pause mid-scroll?

❓Is it because a post is about something that’s been milling around in your head, you’ve been talking to a friend about and then suddenly (as media does) the subject keeps coming up on your timeline? OR

❓Is it because you feel connected to me or the shop. My content feels genuine? OR

❓Because the photo📸 or video📹 catches your attention? OR

❓Is it because Footprints is the solution to a problem you have been experiencing (because FOOTPRINTS is a specialist in measuring feet, fitting footwear.)

❓Because we are far, far more than your regular shoe shop offering help, solutions, we listen to you, we do our utmost to support your needs (and wants). Because we truly care! OR

❓Because YOU feel seen, heard and understood both in store or from the topics we talk about on our socials?

👀 If you’ve read this post till the end, YOU are probably one of our clan, our Footprints Family, because you care too.

🫶 You may also be in a position where you can help us to answer some of our very frustrated questions about our page, our followers, our Footprints community, our place on the high street, YOUR thoughts and views about high street shopping and your preferences both on the high street and online and how FOOTPRINTS fit into that as a micro business in our little market town.

I’d love to hear from you, message me directly if you think you could help, inform and support your little independent shoe shop👣

🙏 Thanks so much for staying to the end of this post and reaching out,

Emma 👣

❤️ How cute are these little shoes by Biomecanics 👣
Another happy customer wearing shoes that have been carefully and lovingly hand picked by us here at Footprints.

They have also been fitted by trained and experienced shoe fitters who have had two decades of measuring and fitting experience so you know that your feet are in good hands.

“Because doing things naturally means doing them right” is the ethos of Biomecanics and a mantra we also share when choosing footwear to stick in store.

Biomecanics, have been doing things as naturally as possible for over 25 years, they have been embracing biomechanics to design footwear with technology that respects, protects, and supports the natural development of the foot.

Their footwear have a flexible, lightweight soles that protect, cushion, provide stability whilst allowing free movement with every step taken.

👣 It’s very important to remember that feet do not grow in a linear way (in length or width) and that’s why Biomecanics ensure that the inside of each shoe provides the necessary space for toes to splay and wriggle at every size.

👣 The footwear modelled by one of our cute little customers has a drop that’s close to 0mm
👣 They also have lateral stabilisers that provide support without the shoe being rigid.
👣 Seams are flattened on the inside of the shoe to prevent chafing, and the tongues are padded to avoid friction. These factors provide ergonomic comfort.
👣 Insoles are breathable (just what’s needed at the moment with this gorgeous weather we are experiencing) and antibacterial.

I ask you….
❓How many off the shelf brands, supermarkets, secondhand marketplaces offer this level of design?

➕ add this to our passion for keeping your feet healthy and our in store measuring and fitting skills, we think we’ve hit the nail on the head here at Footprints 👣

👋 So please stop by and see our wonderful collections.

As many of you probably already know, (because I’m always recommending them), I own my own pair of slipfree FREE WATER SHOES.

I had my pair about 5 years ago and they are still going strong. I am proud to not only support this small uk business myself, but also by being a supplier of this great brand.

I have just returned back from a little family break to Turkey, they were a god send at the Blue Lagoon as we walked into the sharp shingle waters.

They saved the soles of my feet on the burning hot decking of the boat as we took a little island tour, and stopped me from slipping around the swimming pool.

📣 on a serious note, they are selling fast in the shop and we now only have limited designs and sizes, so if you are thinking about having a pair then I’d advise you to pop in very soon 💦

They cost around £16-£18 pounds for kids and a teeny bit more for adults.

📣 STAY SAFE THIS SUMMER! With
