Week 7 Part B: How Other Businesses Use Instagram

My Business v. Their Business 

In looking at my classmates instagrams I was able to see many similarities and differences throughout their feed and how they promote their products. I decided to look at @purpletsunamiclothing and @california_rad_patches in order to find comparisons and differences. An interesting technique that I noticed was used on the patches page was that he utilized a an outside source in order to promote his brand. I thought that this was cool being that TikTok is such a popular platform today and often engages many different types of audiences. An aspect of the Purple Tsunami Clothing brand that I would take into account is the minimalist nature of the page. I think that things remain simple and that it is not overbearing to understand. 

In looking at the different accounts in regards to selling products and offering a service. I think that there are many similarities and many differences as well. In viewing many different pages it was clear to determine that the common ground was gaining profit from something that is valued to them. I think that the accounts I viewed that were more focused on providing a service used promotional techniques such as posting business times, deals, and examples of their performance. On the contrary, I believe that the businesses aiming to sell a product placed their primary focus on how to order the products, what was available, and what new was to come. I think that both require a lot of detail in determining which audience to reach and when to reach them. 

After doing all of this research I believe that I 'do have the ability to better may own account in many ways. I think that the photos and videos on my account can be more creative and inclusive to buy brand. I think that I can also focus more on the primary times to post and how to fully engage my followers in what I am selling. I think that if I am able to make a few adjustments and add my own spice to the account then it has the ability to become a very successful tool in promoting my brand.

Week 12A: Using Business Specific Online Tools

In researching the available tools this week, I found that there are various amounts of sources in which one has the ability to promote their business. I believe that in our current times, using online collaboration tools has become increasingly popular amongst the business world as so many people are participating remotely. An example of this could be through Microsoft Teams in which there are tools provided in the software that allow you to communicate and take the proper steps in order to enhance the project at hand. For social networking, I looked into what Hivebrite had to offer as it allowed for people to share their knowledge, collaborate, get feedback, and enhance opportunities. With a well organized platform like this, business owners and professionals will be able to efficiently make the neccessary adaptions to successfully  grow their business and brand.  I think that google offers so many tools that people tend to miss out on simply because they did not know that t...

Week 8 Part B: Your Hashtag Use

 In this weeks Facebook and Instagram posts, I decided to promote the Halloween holiday and promote a flash sale that will be occurring this week. I decided to schedule my posts so that they are spread out from one another and will have a presence each and every day of the week. I also incorporated a lot of the hashtags that dealt with the holiday while still incorporating hashtags that relate to the press on nail company. I feel like using both of these has the ability to reach different audiences that may just be looking for press ons or those who are in the spirit of having their halloween festive attire. I planned my post around the time that it seems my accounts get the most attention with is usually in the night time. So my post will be spread out this week around the 8pm to 9pm hours in order to gan the most recognition. This exercise made me focus even more on posting at the appropriate times and making the right posts.
