We recently connected with Samantha Wallace-Harrell and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Samantha, thanks for joining us today. Let’s talk legacy – what sort of legacy do you hope to build?

Legacy, to me, is about leaving behind something significant—whether through actions, words, or the impact on people’s emotions. Regrettably, I haven’t felt this from my own family, a circumstance I aim to change as I build my own family circle. This includes not only my biological relatives but also those dear friends who have become family.

My aim is to make a profound impact on female spouses, empowering them to maintain their individual identities within marriage and parenthood. Additionally, I aspire to support individuals who have endured trauma and abuse in foster care, helping them realize that their past doesn’t define their future; there is still hope and light ahead.

I want to be remembered as the foster child who overcame her past, the supportive partner who stood alongside her spouse, and the devoted mother who thrived despite not being raised by her own mom. My aspiration is to create a legacy that my children will be proud to inherit and carry forward to future generations.

While I don’t seek validation or praise through compliments, knowing that I’ve done my best and that it’s remembered is what truly matters to me. However, I do hope that my family will take pride in the impact of my efforts.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

My name is Samantha, and I’ve been married for 13 years, blessed with three beautiful children aged 4, 10, and 13. In my spare time, I enjoy reading and listening to various music genres, particularly country and worship music. I actively engage in community service, volunteering at my church and participating in my children’s school and sports activities.

Initially, my husband and I ventured into the financial service industry to supplement our income, but it quickly evolved into a passion as we witnessed the positive impact on the families and individuals we assisted. Recognizing a deeper calling, I pursued Graphic Design and Social Media Marketing, seeking a new avenue for personal fulfillment.

My journey led me to discover the dynamic realm of Social Media Management through the guidance of my close friend and mentor, Sharon Ruff. With her support and expertise, I honed my skills as a Graphic Designer and delved into the intricacies of social media strategy and management. Inspired by my newfound knowledge, I established SAM Social Solutions, offering comprehensive Social Media Management services tailored to diverse client needs.

At SAM Social Solutions, I provide a range of services including Social Media Management packages, consulting, analytic reporting, Canva design classes, and bespoke graphic design solutions for both personal and business branding purposes. My mission is to translate the visions of entrepreneurs and small business owners into captivating marketing campaigns and designs that resonate with their target audience.

What sets me apart in my field is not only my proficiency in design but also my adaptability to the ever-evolving landscape of social media. Unlike some designers who rely on templated solutions, I bring a personalized touch to every project, ensuring unique and engaging content tailored to each client’s objectives.

As a Social Media Manager, I am committed to delivering tangible results and driving business growth through strategic content creation and audience engagement. My track record speaks for itself, and I am dedicated to sharing my experiences, qualifications, and success stories with prospective clients to forge meaningful partnerships and achieve mutual success.

What’s worked well for you in terms of a source for new clients?

The most effective channel for acquiring new clients for me has been through referrals. In the financial service industry, referrals carry significant weight due to the inherent credibility established by the person who refers a potential client. Given the sensitive nature of financial matters, people are often more comfortable seeking assistance when referred by someone they trust.

For my Graphic Design and Social Media Marketing business, I’ve employed various strategies to attract clients. These include leveraging Social Media platforms, networking at events, client referrals, maintaining strong client relationships for retention, and engaging in cold outreach efforts. Among these methods, establishing a robust presence on Social Media has proven to be the most fruitful avenue for generating new leads and inquiries.

We’d love to hear about how you keep in touch with clients.

Building strong client relationships and fostering brand loyalty hinge on maintaining regular communication. It’s crucial to stay in constant touch by scheduling periodic check-ins to address client concerns, offering tailored insights, and actively listening to their feedback. This approach ensures that clients feel valued and supported, laying the foundation for long-term loyalty and satisfaction.
