If you’ve ever doubted the power of social media, look no further than Lisa Couture and her company Couture Candy.
Couture posted a simple but clever little video on TikTok a couple of weeks ago, and at last count, the post had been viewed by more than 1.5 million people and her bookings for her signature candy boxes have gone through the roof.
If you’re looking for some help with your social media, Kat Tepylo Murphy is a social media specialist who helps businesses harness the power of social media.
Kat is offering a workshop on Instagram Reels on March 30 at 10.30. Details are at socialkatmedia.com and if you want to check out that viral video, just look for Couture Candy on TikTok.
