Week12 PartB

I researched the app Etsy and Yelp Reviews and here’s what I found. Etsy Local permits people to buy and sell to their neighbors literally which cuts shipping costs, reduces environmental impact and supports local mom-and-pop shops. Etsy has a great reputation in terms of quality and product value, and well know for their great customer service. One of the number one apps for homemade authentic goods, Etsy has easy refunds and exchange policies.

For my research on Yelp Reviews I learned some interesting things I didn’t know before. I didn’t know that there was a filter that causes the reviews to only appear for a day or two and then get stuck in a “not recommended” section. The filter does it to random reviews as well so you would have to go out of your way to scroll all the way down the page and find the light gray text referencing them. Yelp is great but just like anything else it does have it’s problems.

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.
