Week 6 Part A: Engaging Your Customers - FaceBook Strategy

These are the businesses I chose to like on Facebook:


https://www.facebook.com/saintlouismom
https://www.facebook.com/SanDiegoFamilyMagazine
https://www.facebook.com/SanDiegoMomsCo
https://www.facebook.com/SanDiegoParent 
https://www.facebook.com/CountyofSanDiegoParksandRecreation
https://www.facebook.com/castateparksSD
https://www.facebook.com/CityofOceanside

I chose these businesses because they are either similar to my business or resources I could use for my business (in terms of looking for content to post about events in San Diego County). I'd say most of these pages post upcoming events using one or two images. I don't see a lot of videos being used.

San Diego Family Magazine does contests, which get a lot of engagement, and things like "Best Fall Events," "Best Pumpkin Patches," etc. San Diego Moms does not get much engagement. Parent Connection has what I think are great posts, with lots of nice photos and events people should be interested in. But they don't get a lot of likes. Maybe because they don't ask questions?

San Diego Parks and Recreation has a lot of engagement, with their "Hawktober" post getting a ton of attention. Their posts are really well written: casual but professional and short with all the pertinent details. CA State Parks does a lot of alerts about coastal conditions and beach cleanup events. Those don't get a lot of engagement, however. Their most engaging post seemed to be one on how the coast is being impacted by climate change.

The Oceanside Gov page seems to get the most likes on posts about individual people and plans for the city. Also, there's a lot of engagement on a post about birds. Apparently birds are the way to get attention on Facebook!

Wk15A: Using Google Analytics to Improve your Marketing: FA22 CSIT 155 1574

I think I could use Google Analytics to see how many page views I'm getting, what time of day, how much people interact with my site, etc. I had a chance to look at what my site is doing now, and it was interesting to see how many new users I had and how long they stayed on my site.  From the reading, I was reminded to check out “What’s Trending” in various social media to see what people are talking about. I believe that was also a tip mentioned in the textbook. For example, if parents in San Diego are posting about crowded xmas tree lots, I could write a post on the "Least crowded xmas tree farms" or "Most affordable places to get your xmas tree this year." I also think I could use Google ads to increase my brand presence and target people searching for things to do in San Diego or people who had looked at similar blogs, perhaps.  It's interesting that you can also anticipate future customer actions with Google’s machine learning. That's a really cool ...

Week 6 Part B: Creating and Scheduling FaceBook Posts

This was fun! I am having a great time exploring my classmate's pages and seeing their posts. Here are the ones I visited/commented on: Amy Mather: https://www.facebook.com/Protein4PetsVista/ Kristy Yam: https://www.facebook.com/EncinitasDonuts Pablo Correa: https://www.facebook.com/PurpleTsunamiClothing/ I also posted a few things on my page ( North County Fam ) and scheduled a few upcoming posts (all below). I think these posts will engage my audience because they are fun upcoming events, include questions and utilize colorful, easy-to-view images. I'm curious to see how people engage with them!

Week 17: Wrapping It Up

I had a great time playing around with different social posts in this class and learning about new social platforms + some of my classmates' businesses. It's really cool to see how people right in my community are working hard to make their businesses as good as they can be! I don't think my viewpoint of social media has changed over the last few months, but my awareness of what's possible through it has changed. For example, I never thought to use meetup or Linkedin for my business. I definitely have a better understanding of how to use social media to develop a business, especially in terms of creating a newsletter, scheduling and experimenting with different forms of social media. I also found the research we did on our target market and possible hashtags to be helpful. I will definitely be incorporating some of those hashtags into more of my posts. I would say that in looking at other businesses, I noticed that the ones that seemed successful and popular on social p...
