Chapter 7

 This week we are learning how to market with Snapchat. Snapchat is a very popular social media platform that users use to send pictures and videos to their friends and add words to them. There are millions of users that use Snapchat every day. Most people view it as only a social media site that you can just talk to your friends on, but you can also use it as a platform to promote your business. Promoting your business is a lot different on Snapchat then other platforms like Facebook or Instagram. As per usual you are going to add your name on Snapchat to create the profile. Once you have created the profile you will make your tweets public so that everyone can see them and send the brand snaps. You will be in your settings and make sure that everyone is selected for the people that can see and interact with the brand’s story. Once you have the profile set up you will want to post. Make sure your snaps are good images of the business and can get people to interact with. You do not want to post a long video that people would be bored watching. Since Snapchat is used by majority of younger people since it came out not so long ago, make sure that the content is appropriate for the age group you will be selling to. Also make it so it is easily accessible. Lastly the business can utilize the snap ads to cater to certain people who are interested in the area of the business. This has been another cool week learning about how we can use social media platforms to market our businesses.

  1. I think ads are the best things businesses can do to get their company out there. I have found myself actually visiting some of the ads because they show up so much when I'm watch satisfying videos. I also agree that companies should make sure what they are putting out there is age appropriate.

The Transfer from Wapakoneta

Here we are in our last month of classes. After this month is over, we only have a few days in May to take our exams and then we are off on summer break. I will be spending my weeks leading up to these exams studying a lot so I can keep my grades up. We just started our second week of spring practices this week. Things are starting to come to me quicker as I am still learning all the tag words and signals but overall, it is going well. This week my family and I have been planning our vacation that we are taking this summer and needless to say I am ready for summer. How is everyone else’s life going?

The Transfer from Wapakoneta

 Here we are another week down and things are still going well. We just got back from a nice surprise four day weekend because of snow. I spent my days from last Wednesday night to Saturday afternoon pushing and plowing snow from the cab of our skid loader. I plowed anywhere from 20-25 driveways during each day while pushing big industrial lots and gas stations in the nighttime. This left little time for sleep. Each day I was awake and pushing snow every morning by 4 a.m. and not being done until 9-10 p.m. in the evening. While I knew we were going to get some snow, but I was not totally sure how much we would be getting, I used my Facebook marketing knowledge to let the people know in my surrounding area that I would be cleaning driveways out for $25 a driveway. This led to people telling other people and the word got out and I got super busy. I was able to make quite a bit of money over this three day time period and help people of the community out. Did anyone else do anything o...

The Sim

Throughout this semester we utilized the sim function in mimic social. The sim helped us understand how to use the different platforms to promote a given business. We had to schedule post with a budget and then make sure the content we posted was useful to the public to understand what we were advertising. After the sim was ran you got the stats from each platform and you were asked questions based upon the stats from that round. Over the course of the semester we did 12 rounds of mimic social. In the last couple weeks we had to hire someone to post about our company and we had to pay them per post. Let me tell you they are not easy people to negotiate with. It took me 2 whole rounds to get somebody to accept my offer when I offered them exactly what they stated they were worth. Any ways this helped the stats by giving it more interactions and engagements due to the fact that the person was famous or had lots of expertise on the topic. Thanks again for listening in this semester!
