Week13 PartA

 Well since the only social media I primarily use is Facebook it is the only place of social media ads I see. The ads I usually see are truck parts because me and my husband talk about different parts for his truck that he's thinking about getting so, the ads pop up about that. I also see ads about items that are small business and items that are produced in a non harmful production. Usually the call to action is act fast for a great deal or the proceeds go towards helping some animal or the earth. It's usually emotional or an act fast call to action. They do use imagery on all of the ads I've seen and it is effective, well the emotional ones are the effective ones. I hardly ever click on the link for the ads but the select times that I have it took me straight to their website.

Traditional advertising back then was in my opinion harder to remember a product because we didn't have the internet at our fingertips. Usually to remember a product is if there was a catchy tune that got stuck in your head and advertising was not around you as much and if it was you hardly remembered or paid attention. Having a phone and social media advertising is everywhere on your phone and around you it's hard to avoid. You can screenshot an item that appealed to you into your phones photos to remind you later that you were interested in this certain product. To me I feel like online advertising is more effective because people can not escape the advertising, it is around them all of the time.

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.
