What I did and what they are DOING...

Staying socially active:
We came up with a great idea in class last week.

To post tweets, directly on the Kean twitter from my twitter, @whosvacationing.

I did just that, I also hash-tagged #spring break, and suggested some websites for student to visit for a great deal.

Since my target market is students and vacations, Kean’s twitter is basically a goldmine.

I also posted a video of last years Groove Cruise. It’s a huge party ship that sails from Miami to the Bahamas.

Nutshell:

Directly posted on my target markets page.

Spread the hash-tag of #Springbreak on my page and Kean’s page.

Linked a video on my twitter of a party ship that student may be interested in.

^^ They then immediately followed me back J ^^

Followed @applevacations and @bookit, which is a great site to get great deals on.

Also followed many hotels.

Re-tweeted many posts.

Tweeted at many pages.

Who Covers my personal brand:

I had to automatically choose www.bookit.com or @Bookit. I love this site and I personally always use it to book my vacations.

It’s ALWAYS cheaper than @Expedia and everything is just right there.

You can book the vacation, a flight, a car rental, and hotel all in one friendly place.

It’s so simple to use and it gives you the best prices.

I love what they are doing on twitter. They keep tweeting special deals that really are attracting and also affordable. Also they tweet many pictures of vacation spots and use very user-friendly languages to tweet.

My DREAM is to partner up my idea with this website. They can easily add a tab on their home page so users can know who is vacationing on the certain days the consumer is choosing to go away. They are definitely using twitter accurately.

Second, I like what @LonelyPlanet is doing.  I found them really easily when I typed in #travel on twitter. They are a very active on twitter. They operate by tweeting and re-tweeting the best in travel posts. Whether its pictures or tips; they tell you to tag your posts with #LP. This sets an image for the page and now if anyone sees #LP they’ll know its their page. And they read your posts, and Re-tweet the best of them.  They always use the hash-tag #travel and #LP. They have 923,000 followers and very detailed and reliable website www.lonelyplanet.com .
