We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Tre’Shaun Watkins We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Tre’Shaun below.
Tre’Shaun, appreciate you joining us today. Do you think folks should manage their own social media or hire a professional? What do you do?
For my social media accounts I run all of them. I made the choice to manage my own social medias account to give the customers a more personal experience. The result of that has been amazing, customers have told me time and time again that they love how down to earth my accounts are. I will say to my fellow business owners, do what works best for you. It is ok to run your own accounts and it is ok to have a team. You have to think what is going to best for you and your company in the long run.
Tre’Shaun, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
Hello, I am Tre’Shaun and I run Giovanni! I got into the sunglasses industry because growing up my maternal grandmother would always give me the coolest shades and I would always get compliments on them. I decided since people always love my shades that I should go into business of selling them. What sets me apart from others in my industry is that I bring luxury to the people at affordable prices. I am most proud of the fact I was able to make 100 sales within the first week of launching. I want my potential customers to know that Giovanni is an inclusive brand and there is something for everyone.
Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?
I built my social media audience through going live on Instagram and Facebook, running contests, and making TikToks. My advice for those starting to build their social media is to engage with your followers. The more you engage with your followers the broader your audience will get. Consumers love brands that engage with their audience on a personal level.
Where do you think you get most of your clients from?
The best source of new clients is my college campus. I attend the University of Alabama and as we know Alabama gets a lot of sunshine. With such a huge student body my campus is the best place to go around promoting my brand.
