This Sunday two years ago (22nd November 2020) was the first EVER time I went “Live” on my piano and established my first ever Christmas Campaign.
In October 2020, I met Heather, who helped me set realistic goals, transforming my anxiety about performing live into excitement. A month later, I played the Glasgow Love Theme from Love Actually in my den while wearing my penguin Popsy dress. Despite shaking, I was determined, and after a lunch with friends during a brief break from lockdowns, I felt a thrilling buzz from the positive response to my performance.
I set the goal there to play a full length live Christmas concert. For free. Just in my den. If you put a (Tropic) order in, you could have a request. The concert went down a storm! I worked myself up to it by launching a 12 days of Christmas 1-12 December. I planned games, offers, little facts, and chose a different Popsy dress and lip glaze every day.
The whole Christmas Campaign was a massive hit, I just had to do it again the following year!
How could I level up from 2020?
I sang a Victoria Wood inspired 12 days of Christmas rather than just playing the piano. I told full little snippets of my story. I wore different Popsy dresses and lip glazes. I was confident!
The live concert was available to the public, but I was still quite hidden, so I had to rely on private messaging people individually. I managed to sell 41 tickets though, not to be sniffed at!
This is becoming a tradition. The feedback was out of this world, how could I step up again for 2022??
I have a website, I’m more visible.
This year, I launched my campaign today (20th November 2022) by the Glasgow Love theme again. Confident but distracted as my 5 year old kid was starting to have a meltdown in the next room! I played three tunes, but those who follow me, loved it all the same. I wasn’t meant to be perfect. I’m a mum and that often means working through chaos and a working mum never really stops either. (My businesses are my passions and my self care, that definitely helps!)
The main campaign launches on 1st December, and since last year I have a whole stationery range; so expect a mix of stationery giveaways, skincare offers, free-to-play games, and of course a song, Popsy dress and lip glaze for each day!
