Week 17

I have had a great experience in this class this semester!

         My social media output for my business has been so different. The content has looked so much better and it looks more professional. That also means I have had different platforms that I have posted on because of this class. We have posted using this blog, twitter and the newsletter email chain which are things I have never done before which turned out to be great. All these new additions have made my advertising so much better. 
     
       This is also shown through the response I have been getting. Everything seems to be increasing. I have more likes, more people commenting, and more followers. My social media is much more alive then it was before.  Before there was no activity. I hadn't posted anything in a while and nothing seemed to be improving obviously. This class made everything go back to being up and running. Everything I learned has been so helpful.
      
       My viewpoint overall of social media has definitely changed. It is something that is constantly changing and as a business I need to keep up with it no matter whether I like it or not. I specifically am referring to twitter. Before this class I promised myself I would never make one of those just because I thought it was mostly about writing updates on your day. I only liked looking at pictures. Then, interesting enough, I found out twitter is also for pictures. Now I am embracing all forms of media that I can use to advertise my product to the best of my ability. 
   
     I am so much more knowledgeable on how to run and develop the media of a business. I learned about what is going to get people interested and how to do that. I learned about different tools I can use to help me make that happen as well. I learned that there are different features for different goals. For example I want to push people to check out my website and there are ways that social media help you do that through boost posts. I have learned so many things that I can now incorporate. 

     I even found and saw other businesses that I like in the process. I was able to use different companies that I like buying from as an example and I saw how they post and how they draw people in. This was extremely helpful. I even ended up buying a pair of sunglasses from one of these other businesses that I found in the process. It was a great experience looking to other business examples that seem to be doing it right and getting to practice imitating that. 
         
This class has been so helpful and I have learned so much! Thanks Professor Faulk!

Week 11 Part 1

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

Week 1

 The blog template I used was chosen for a reason.           One of those reasons is because it involves the color blue and the water. I am in love with both of those aspects. I am a born and raised California girl so anything that resembles the beach is something I am already in love with. Blue also happens to be my favorite color. As the writer of this blog I feel like the template should be helpful insight on what kind of person I am. A lover of the water and an often beach-goer is a big part of my life. In addition to that I enjoy the colors and how it is not too dark or not too bright. It drew my attention in a subtle way rather than maybe blinding the eye immediately with a yellow or pink or something of that nature. The blue and the water is my favorite choice.           The other factor for choosing this blog template is that when people think of the beach most of the time it is a relaxing image. To dive a little deeper, besides being a typical California girl, I look at t
