Week 13 Part A- Online Advertising - Analysis of the Market Place

 Social Media Advertising 

In my experience with social media advertisements, they typically are aiming to promote something specific. The advertisements usually place an emphasis on things related to our interest or referenced from our search history due to the way our apps intertwine with another. This often occurs when we have a conversation with someone around us and then scroll through our feed on instagram and see a promotional ad for exactly what we were talking about. Most of believe that this is the government listening to us but this is the best way for businesses to make their most effective marketing promotion. 

When promotional ads are presented they typically do take advantage of the imagery, making it appealing to the eye and attracting consumers to their products. I think that this is one of the most important factors when promoting on social media platforms due to the fact that consumers are typically looking for things that catch their eye. I think another technique is to make an emphasis with the size of the font. A lot of the ads will be emphasizing some sort of discount which will likely be larger than the other lettering. 

I believe that in current times, social media advertising has become more beneficial and successful due to the fact that our modern society is more reliant on this method. We are increasingly moving away from things such as magazines, newspapers, etc. because of how prevalent technology has become in our every day lives. Having a history of working in retail, we quickly took advantage of the technological aspect of providing promotions on social media rather than trying to promote on paper or television. This seemed to engage more consumers and have a stronger outcome.

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.

Week 4A: Defining Target Markets

 Subway v. Hungry Bear Deli Subway  Subway has been a popular sandwich chain for as long as I can remember. I was actually as major consumer of the sandwiches growing up and enjoyed eating their food frequently. Subway has major marketing attempts such as using commercials and ads in order to promote their company. Recently, subway has also reached out to professional athletes as a source of promotion in order to amplify their business. For awhile, Subway went through a spell in which their food was questioned and determined as low quality compared to other sandwich shops in the food industry. They have made efforts to revamp their brand and bring a new message to the foods that they are serving.      Visiting the Subway website immediately brings a breath of fresh air if you are a previous consumer of theirs. There are promotions that stroll across the screen as soon as you get to the site in attempts to get the consumer engaged in what they are offering. ...
