SportRoom

Today I finally created my Facebook-blog, entitled "SportRoom". I want this to be a place where users of the social media site can debate and share information about all that goes on in the wonderful world of sports!

The most important task I still have yet to carry out is spreading the word and befriending people on Facebook. I will most likely add a few of my own friends, but mainly adding some of the suggested users the website displays alongside of its homepage.

This is by far the biggest step in getting my brand out there. I want to start with my social circles and see if I can get a word-of-mouth trend going, so I can see the demographics of who is interested and who to target.

Right now I am sorta taking baby steps. I have a lot on my plate right now, so I'm doing my best to juggle this with the other important events in my life at this time. Any comments or advice is certainly welcome :)

PS - While looking for current events involving social media, I stumbled on this page about someone familiar to our classroom..

Who's Vacationing ??

Today I created a Twitter account for Who's Vacationing. @whosVacationing 

It's a start of what i want to do with this website in the future. 

If I can get Ten followers this easy from my classmates, the word will spread quick when the actual website is launched next year after I graduate. 

I followed the class blog first obviously and got my name out there. I then followed some travel magazines and travel sites. Since I love how popular and successful Expedia is, I also followed their page.

My page will give future vacationers tips of what to do or where to go. 

This site will sort of be like a social calendar of who is going where on certain dates.

 this will then inform you of what kind of people and atmosphere you can expect when you reach your destination. 

The Ambitious Fashionista takes Off!

This week I decided to finally launch my blog! For all of my wonderful classmates that would like to read click here. I am extremely excited to start on this journey and begin putting my ideas, tips and advice down.

As many of you can tell, I used my brand statement that I submitted on this blog as my personal statement and first post on my new blog (thanks for the idea Perri!) with a few minor changes. I also started promoting on my personal Facebook and Twitter to drive visitors to my page!

I hope you all follow my blog or have somone you think would benefit from it take a look.

Elements of The pampered mommy:

The pampered mommy blog will consist of daily tips and ideas on how to get a little pampering in your life. It will be a place where busy moms can go and find quick and easy ideas on what to wear, spa rituals, time management, make-up, skincare, nails, and fun activities for the whole family, etc.

 

Key elements:

·        The pampered mommy will be very easy to access for those moms who don’t have much free time on their hands.

·        Tips and ideas will be in short formats and easy to understand

·        The blog will be updated regularly to ensure a connection between my brand and my audience.

·        Each day of the week will be considered The Pampered Mommy category of the day. For example Monday will be Skincare tip day and Thursday maybe what to wear to any occasion tip day.

 

 

I have executed my idea of quick and easy tips by looking through magazines and online for many different tips on relaxation and time management skills.  I also have a spa day planned for myself tomorrow where I will personally ask my aesthetician for some ideas for at home spa rituals. I’ll let you all know how it goes ;)

First One Up

News Commentary Discussion

What I Learned While Live Tweeting a Friends Funeral

As the first one to lead a discussion for a news commentary I must say, I was a bit nervous on whether  people were going to participate or not.  I was glad to see most of the class enjoyed the article and was engaged in the discussion.

Although it was already past 9:00 pm and knowing our class ends at 8:45 pm I was surprised on how many people kept giving their input. It was great to hear everyone’s opinion!

Overall I was pleased to see so many of my classmates like Manny, Stefania and Craig participating. Thank you everyone for your thoughts on the article.

Just in case you might have lost the article it’s on Gigaom.com. Share it with your friends and tell me what they say on Twitter!

Walt Disney

Walt Disney Theme Parks

Objective:

- Make each and every customer enjoy their experience at the theme park

-Create loyal customers which will lead to generating more sales throughout the years

- Understand our customers and know their needs

Not only are we in the business to create profits but we also want to provide an experience that no other theme park can match. We want our parks to fulffill everyones dreams and in return we would like to receive positive feedback from every customer.

Increasing customer loyalty goes a long way. I remember my mother taking me when I was a child to Walt Disney World, I loved it! I will do the same with my kids one day.


Audience:

- We want to attract the younger generation, ages 2-17

- We also want to attract the parents that take their kids to the theme park

Our audience is everything! We need to connect with them as fast as we can as simple as we can and as effective as we can.

So how will we do this? We want to implement social media tools such as Facebook and Twitter so there will be an awareness of our brand.

In Facebook we want to see interactions between ourselves as the company and customers. We want to build a long term relationship on Facebook with our customers by always keeping them engaged in questions and different topics.

Twitter we will use as a short term problem solver. Any questions that need answering will be done on Twitter since it is faster in response time.

Social Media is a gate way to thousands of business oppurtunities.

Look Sharp + Live Smart: GQ

I think GQ magazine is the master of Social Media. Following them keeps you entertained and in their favor it'll make you want to subscribe to their magazine.

I am subscribed to GQ. It is the best magazine for a man around our age group; that is 18 to 30 years of age.

It has hot women all over it. Men teaching you how to dress and what is "in" for the season. Sports. Famous people. And obviously like every other magazine, a bit of tips and gossip.

On twitter they have 250+k  followers. I believe that kind of low for such a big name. Yet, thinking about it, their target market is probably all men.

GQ is not only on twitter. they also have a Facebook page with 350+k followers and an Instagram with 800+ photos .

GQ using social media is genius. They show the viewer enough to know what their magazine is about. Then they have you hooked!  its only $12 for a one year subscription. and if you add $5 you can have the Online version too.

Objectives: GQ magazine has found a way to connect to people through social media. they upload awesome articles and pictures through the web. there for further enhancing their net income for their magazine subscriptions. 

Target Audience: GQ Targets mostly young adults. usually between the ages of 18 to 32 years of age. even though some women may be interested and read this because of the attractive famous men that are dressed to impress on the front cover. 

Issues/Opportunities: some issues GQ magazine might have is that they are sharing too much. people like just following them on twitter and seeing all their pictures on instagram. Yet, them being famous and noticed on social networks enhances their name and lead people to subscribe.  

Strategies: GQ uses social media to show the public what they are about and what articles they publish. Also, it is only a $12 subscription for a whole year. you cant go wrong. 

Measurements: they easily track how many followers they have in all of their social media websites. and may gather information about who's viewing their page. they have over a million followers combined on their social networks; which puts their name out there in the public.
