Week 1A: My Blog Theme

     When choosing a blog theme, I debated my options. I first considered something custom, flashy, and artistic. Something unforgettable. However, upon playing around with this concept, everything felt a bit too busy. My next consideration was to go hyper minimalist. While the clean lines and neutral colors relaxed my lizard brain, the overall mood of my blog felt to blank to be an expression of myself. I suddenly realized that this theme debacle represented an issue I have found myself grabbling with time and time again. 

    My personal aesthetic is difficult to define. Sofia Coppola's film Marie Antoinette is something of a dream to me. Everything colorful, ornate, details and design bursting from every angle. My favorite couture designers have always been maxi-mists. Vivienne Westwood, Jean Paul Gaultuer, Alexander McQueen- not known for their restraint on the runway. However, when it comes to my personal spaces, my home, my furniture and linen preferences, the kind of architecture I gravitate towards, it is always simple and clean. Busily printed curtains make me nauseous and primary colored nurseries make me wince. My aesthetic is neither here not there, but a bit of everywhere.

    After reflecting on this, I dove back into selecting a theme. What is me? I found one that felt like it fully captured the duality of my taste. Pink, but clean. Ornate font, but not so much that it's straining to read. My theme is a perfect mood to match the self expression that will be taking place on this platform.

Week 6A: Engaging With Your Customers

1.  Cadence Dance Projects 2.  Yumi 3.  Lovevery 4.  Honest 5.  FIT4MOM San Diego 6.  The Mommy Center 7.  My Gym Carlsbad I chose to like a combination of popular health/eco conscious children's brands and local businesses that cater to new moms and children's activities.  Yumi is the top of the industry for freshly delivered baby food. I chose to follow their page because their followers are the exact consumer I hope to reach. They post a combination of photos and videos, a lot of fun interactive content such as recipes you can make out of their products (something I mentioned wanting to do in my last post prior to seeing their page!) They also have a lot of infographics that give important facts like when to start feeding your infant solid foods, funny memes and tiktoks that aren't exactly promoting their products but are about being a mom, and current promotions that they're offering. There's a lot to learn from their page, but particularly ho...

Week 3B: Developing a Brand

      I am currently in the planning phase of a fresh baby food delivery business. The goal of my branding for this company is to inform customers that this is the brand to go-to for health conscious families looking for a top tier product to feed their young children. One of the pillars of the brand is education. I have spent my entire life studying nutrition and alternative medicine. In addition to giving the message of health and wellness I want education and happiness to be clear in the branding as well, because the ultimate goal of the brand is to deliver a product that aids in brain development and longterm quality of life. Another important part of this brand is brains. Not every family has the time to make baby food from scratch, which is why we are here to deliver fresh food to your door twice a week.     I haven't developed a name yet, however I do have a logo idea. I would like to somehow incorporate a lotus flower, as it represents life as ...

Week 14A: Social Media Management Tools

Nunu is currently a one person operation, two if you include my mom helping me watch after the baby! Because of this, I feel that SocialPilot will be the best social media management service for me. They do not offer a free service but their paid plan is very affordable, the basic version being $42.50 a month which allow access for up to three users. This plan helps in scheduling posts for up to 20 social media accounts. They will also give analytics of accounts and help with customer support. I don't think that I will be using any management service initially. The daily operation for my business allots for an entire day dedicated to social media and community outreach. See below: Saturday: Go to vendors to pick up product for the first batch of deliveries.   Sunday: Prepare meals for the first delivery route.   Monday: First delivery route of the week (delivery schedule is designed to accommodate customers work schedule. There will be morning, afternoon, and evening deliver...
