Week 14: More Social Strategy

During this class I learned how to use social media to promote my business in efficient way. I never know how many different social medias are using in this world. Also I didn't know that social media is that much important for business. Before I take this class, I didn't deeply see other business websites but now when I see other website, I'm trying to check how many and how are they using the social media for their business. Social media promotion is most basic promotion tool in our life now. Therefore, I think using and learn the social media is very important before who start their own business.
 
I think Facebook is integrate best with my business. I don't actually familiar with other social media yet. Facebook is my first social media and it is very easy to use. Some of social medias, for example, Instagram, Pinterest are just focused on the photo. However, Face book is focused on both writing and photos so I think Facebook is best social media for my business. Also the good thing about the Facebook is we don't have to pay the promotion fee when we just make our own promotion things in our wall. I love their "like" system because when my customers likes my post, their friends can see my post so if they get interest about my business, they can become my customers. My business is small and niche so I think Facebook is perfect to promote my small business. Facebook is available on smart phone and it is also easy to use so I can save my time to check my business. I don't have to make time to log on in the computer to check my business is going okay or not. I can check with my phone in anywhere.

  1. Hi Hannah! I think your idea of focusing in on one tool is a pretty good one if you are not comfortable with other tools yet. Facebook is probably the best one to use too since it is the most ubiquitous. Also, as you become more familiar with social media by using Facebook for your business, you will have the opportunity to learn more about other platforms. I would just encourage you to keep an open mind to adding new layers to your strategy, especially if you figure out that your potential customers are all active on another platform. Keeping an open mind to learning and growing is always a good idea. :-) Good luck!

  2. Hannah, I agree with Shelby's comment. I too think you should start with one platform, facebook, and eventually branch out from there as you become more familiar and comfortable in using these platforms. This is my current plan.

  3. Your idea of keeping an eye on what other companies are doing with their social media is a good practice to be in. I think I should be doing the same.

  4. Hi Hannah,

    Like several of us here taking this course we would like to be in multiple medias that fits our niche. But in many cases, like mine, will start out with just one, see how that works, then others. I agree that Facebook would be a good jumping off point for your business and as others have suggested, look to other medias as you become more comfortable which you will over time.
