Today, we’d like to introduce you to Heather Knickerbocker.
Hi Heather, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Gimme Miami was born when I was a single Mom looking for fun local things to do with my kids and ways to have fun with friends while saving money! I realized that there was a niche to fill, and so a little over 6 years ago, it began. I actually met my husband at an event I was at as Gimme Miami. He was a chef competing at the event with his restaurant.
Since then, we have grown consistently and organically by featuring deals, meals, and fun things to do with local small businesses and some popular larger ones. Now it has become a family affair and my kids, husband, and a few close friends have become Gimme Miami content creators!
Can you talk to us about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned? Looking back, would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Trying to grow your followers organically and reach your demographic isn’t always easy.
We definitely experienced a halt in content creation and growth during the pandemic, so we used our platform to try to help during that time instead.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
We explore and create content to share about deals, meals, and fun things to do within our community. We go from the Florida Keys up to Orlando and everywhere in between.
Do you have any advice for those looking to network or find a mentor?
My advice to newcomers is to reach out to someone whom you have met at an event who has a similar demographic of customers and ask what works for them.
