Sometimes it’s smooth. Sometimes it’s rough. Sometimes it’s sexy, and sometimes it’s just downright unpredictable. We’re talking about flooring, of course! The crew hashes out the differences between all of the flooring options that are available to float centers now. Dylan shares his hellacious stories about using tile in his float rooms, and the pros and cons of the ultramarine and Takron rooms he has now. Kim and Drew talk about their love of concrete with epoxy, but both have had some unexpected challenges with their shower setups in relation to those beautiful floors.
199: Mindfully Social
This week we scratch the surface of social media with our very own Kim Hannan. One of Kim’s consultative offerings is a social media solution that provides content and a scheduling tool. We dabble on the details of how that works, but Kim also drops a few tips to help you get started on (or get a handle on!) your own social strategy.
Organic content growth is wildly different from paid social media advertising, and the long-term strategy requires just that – strategy. As each co-host shares their challenges with juggling the demands of running a float center, you’ll hear some ideas that you can quickly implement, and some that may require a little more thinking and planning.
198: PPP & Dylan’s Social Media Dilemma
It’s been a few months since the crew talked about the PPP situation, and as the (extended) deadline to use the funds is creeping near, you’ll hear the tales of how we’ve each used our funds. Gloria, as usual, stays on the pulse of the changes and updates, and she shares some news that gives Dylan some room to breathe again.
197: Thriving Mid-Covid
As we’re getting ready to step into the final quarter of the longest, wildest year of existence, the crew (minus one) rallies to share how things are going in the day-to-day. You’ll hear a whole lot of happiness, in spite of a crazy year, and you’ll pick up a few unexpected blessings that have come in the form of operational cost reduction, guest satisfaction, and revenue targets.
196: Virtual Float Conference Review
After a long weekend at the virtual Float Con, the crew unpacked their bags and brains to share some of the highlights of the annual event. It was a historical moment – the first Float Conference to take place entirely on screen, and it was definitely one to remember. You’ll hear a few big speaker moments, including a big news bomb that left us all a bit speechless when we heard it. We also share the highlights of some of the Think Tanks, where participants were invited to turn on their cameras and ask questions, share their own best practices, and join in that ol’ Float Con sense of community that we all love.
It wasn’t all perfect, so you’ll hear a few of the downsides and mishaps, and why some folks are hoping for a virtual option again in the future.
