          First I chose a couple websites that just talk about Carlsbad events. These events can be an opportunity to show how my clothing brand is the perfect outfit for the event. It is where this business began and most people in this area have this style.
          I also liked many different brands that are similar to mine to get more likes and follows because if they like these other similar brands they can end up being interested in mine as well. Everyone with the style I am going for will also follow these other brands as well.
         The last business I liked was small business bonfire which is helpful for me as I'm trying to build this small business. It is just information and tips on how to use my facebook page and spread my brand like a "fire."

         This feature of Facebook is great because it gets my content out there for anyone to see. Anyone looking for what I offer can simply search for it or find it through ads.  It gets me connected with so many other people, brands and information that I can use and spread. It is a great form of getting the word out, building a following and networking. Facebook is a great tool.

Newsletters              Newsletter's can be sent weekly, monthly, quarterly, or even twice a year for certain businesses. For my business I think it would be good to have a newsletter sent out twice a month or once every two weeks. One of the posts of that month will be to announce new products. The other posts will be to advertise a big sale that will happen once a month possibly lasting a 3-7 days. On the email involving new products it might also include events occurring in the area or at least an image of a cool place. This is a way to encourage people to buy gear and also to wear and advertise their Shade Apparel for people to see. Everyone loves a good discount so I don't think that will take much information or persuasion. Both these ideas need to be made extremely visually appealing for customers to bite. In addition,  there will be a welcome and birthday email as well. This would be the overall schedule of my businesses newsletters.

Week 3 Part 1

          Sometimes in a consumer and business relationship there can be positive and negative experiences.            First there can be difficulties communicating to a business as a consumer. In my own experience I have been in a couple negative or simply inconvenient situations. One of those involved the process of trying to return something through amazon. I had been trying to buy a good snowboarding jacket from amazon and it's difficult to find the right one because you can't try it on and don't know how it feels. I ended up buying a jacket that was too thin for snow weather. Then ofcourse I decide to return it and use the money refunded to buy another one.  Then I had to fill out a return form and specify why I was returning it. At this point everything was working fine and I set up the jacket to return and returned it expecting to get a refund. Online it said I would get a refund when amazon recieves the jacket. I then recieved a notification saying that Amazon

Making Blogs Personal            Adding human interest to a post can appeal to people's emotions because it describes personal experiences. This uses the persuasion technique of pathos. It gets people emotionally connected and emotionally involved. For example, the commercials with the dog that you can adopt plays sad music and shows people talking about their feelings. Both factors make people feel extra compelled to adopt that dog. On the other hand, for my clothing business human interest would involve possibly posting a picture that reminds people of moment and makes people want to experience that moment. I could post a picture involving a group of friends all wearing different products, sitting around a bonfire that are all laughing and maybe singing. People would see this and want to experience that moment. That makes the brand seem like less of just another jacket or just another sale but rather clothing that will become a memory. A good time to use this technique is durin
