The day has finally arrived. You can now rearrange your Instagram grid.

Does it change your engagement? Nope. Does it affect your reach? Not really. Will it consume an embarrassing amount of your afternoon? Probably.

But for those of us who have been haunted by that one blurry, wrong-filter, why-did-I-post-that photo sitting somewhere in our grid, this is genuinely exciting news.

Instagram is rolling this out gradually so not everyone has it yet, but if you see the option, godspeed. We'll be here if you need us after you've reorganized everything three times.

Yes, we try to be “on brand” as much as possible, but not every post needs to be, and this is today’s post.

Setting the stage of the background of this video: concert lights and a crowd losing it to : the same energy you bring to the things you love is the exact energy your business needs from you.

You are the producer, the writer, the main character of your own story. And that is not just a mindset thing, that is a marketing strategy because the businesses that stand out are the ones led by people who show up fully, who have a point of view, who are not afraid to let their personality be part of the brand.

So yes, sometimes the content is New England coastal at its finest. And sometimes it is a concert with lights blazing and music shaking the floor.

Both are you, and both belong in your story, so own the whole thing!

Oak Bluffs, we love you and we had to let the people know why!

We attended the Oak Bluffs Business Association Social last night and asked some of our favorite Oak Bluffs business owners what makes OB so special to them and the answers did not disappoint. There is so much heart in this town!!!

And yes, Marnely may have snuck in her own answer at the end; spoiler alert: it involved food 🍽️

Drop your favorite thing about Oak Bluffs in the comments, we want to read them!

If you are not building an email list right now you are building your business on someone else's land, and that is a risky place to be.

Your customers WANT to hear from you. They signed up for a reason. They are sitting in an inbox waiting for you to show up and you are not showing up.

Email marketing is THE most underrated tool a brand and business has and we set it up, write it, and send it for you.

Small business month is our whole personality.

May is National Small Business Month and honestly it hits different when you ARE the small business. We started Shored Up Digital because we believed that the incredible businesses, hotels, nonprofits, and destinations we love in New England deserved to show up online the way they show up in real life.

To every small business owner grinding through the start of the season, prepping for summer, and doing approximately seventeen jobs at once right now, we see you. We are you.
