Week7 PartB

 One of the small businesses I looked at on Instagram was Divinity Salon & Boutique, they're located in downtown Encinitas. From observing their posts on Instagram it looks like they hardly post about the salon part of the business and mainly about the boutique part. They mainly promote their clothes on their account. But they do have separate stores on the account that they post to about hair or shopping the boutique. The second one I looked at is called Sugaring By The Sea which is also located in Encinitas. They are a waxing business that uses organic hair removal. From looking at their account they post a lot of funny memes about waxing which could reach people for business. They offer discounts as well on their Instagram stories and have a separate story for their sugaring.

Here are the classmates I commented on their Instagram posts:

Week9 PartA

 Since the type of business I plan on starting is all about skin and hair care I feel like it is a personal kind of business. I think being personal in this kind of business is very effective because I've been to plenty of skin and hair care shops that are just business which for me made me uninterested in coming back. To me adding personal touches to my posts would attract peoples attention because I have a lot of skin issues and just issues in general with finding products that help soothe my skin. From my own personal experiences on struggling to find something to help and no one to relate to is a struggle and rough. So, I know there are plenty of people out there who also may feel the same and from sharing my own personal experiences with them and why I wanted to start this kind of business would appease potential consumers.  I feel like a lot of the businesses that "specialize" in the area I plan on too are very impersonal online and in person. The only store I got a

My Theme

 For the theme, I chose a nature background because I love nature and being outside. When I'm out in nature all my worries go away and I can notice all of the little things nature has to offer. Being outside is my happy place, whenever given the chance I'll be out in the middle of nowhere observing all around me. I also love the color green so, it added a nice touch to my theme.  I don't have any experience using social media as a platform for a business, but in speculation I personally feel like Facebook would be a good start to use as a platform. Facebook is a nice balance to use your personal account as also a business because your friends already know you personally to where they can share your content for others. Then others can see what your business is and also get a glimpse of how you are which is important when starting a business.

Week10 PartA

 I think for my business I would send a weekly newsletter to keep the engagement in tact and with updates about products. The kind of content I would use for business would be weekly reminders for placing orders because everything is produced by hand with fresh ingredients. It would also announce any new products that I am ready to produce as well as our story and how our business works for consumer insight. I think consumers would enjoy being kept updated on when to place orders and new products being produced because I believe it's unique and I say this because I have only seen one other business do this but not as much. So, doing it weekly would attract attention and if it's something that someone is interested in they could look forward to that with updates as well. But of course they can opt out if the weekly updates are too much.
