Week 5B: Learning about Facebook Data Collecting

1. Post reach is important because it allows you to track how many people are seeing your posts. It gives insight as to how successfully you are utilizing your page to gain company awareness. If you see that your reach is low, it tells you that you must find new ways to get the name out. Perhaps by joining more groups, using hashtags, or following users that are already following similar companies to yours. Engagement is important because it gives insight into whether or not the content you're posting is interesting to your followers, or if you need to switch up your posting style in a way that will land better with your followers. 


2. Both engagement and reach can teach you a lot about what you are and are not doing right with your page. From your reach, you can also track trends to see what kinds of posts get more attention. This can inform the way you post in the future to build more traction. If each post gets more reach than the last, you can learn that you are doing the right thing and can keep moving in the same direction. Engagement can give you insight into how exactly your base feels about your posts. If you make posts with questions the comments replying will help you learn more about the people that are following you, what they like or don't like, their favorite this or that, etc. It's basically a way to do market research without conducting a time consuming or costly test. Both engagement and reach can serve as an opportunity to test new products before their release, by showing you if they get a positive feedback online. 

3. Like I said above, Facebook insights can be used in a variety of ways to help businesses better serve their customers. You can open a conversation for customer feedback on products you have already released, or present new ideas and get first hand responses at to if its something the public would like to see made available. Posting polls could be a great way to learn what colors customers prefer, flavors they like, and even what music might be preferable for a future promotional video. I think a great way that I could use these for Nunu is by posting recipes that can be made out of the food bases, and asking followers to share pictures of their creations. Insights are there to get you to know your customers better, so in my opinion it's wise to not only post about your company, but invite followers to tell you about themselves as well!

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...

Week 13B: Developing Online Advertising

My first ad for this assignment was intended to drive sales. I chose to use humor to appeal to the tired working parent who is getting home from work and starting to think about dinner for the next week. I didn't specifically say what our service does, but focused on the experience the customer is currently going through. I hope that in using this technique I will draw viewers in because they will emotionally connect to what they're feeling.    "Got a case of the Mondays?  Let us Take Something Of Your Plate, And Something On Your Baby's..." My second ad was intended to bring brand awareness. I posted a picture of our Pea Protein Bites, a healthy and yummy finger food for babies starting to chew. I chose to post this picture without saying what the item is. They're bright and colorful and look like nothing you can buy in a store. I feel like this is an ad that will spark curiosity in viewers, drawing them to our site to learn more about these mysterious green ...

Week 17: Wrapping It Up

      This course has completely changed my perspective of social media marketing. Previously, I assumed this was a simple art form that anyone could accomplish by posting a pretty picture. This course has made me understand the nuances that separate a successful campaign and one that falls at the waist-side. Specifically, the use of hashtags was something I never knew the power of. Before this class I thought that hashtags were corny. Now I see that proper use of this tool will make or break a businesses outreach. Another thing I learned is how important it is to post the right content. In this course I studied accounts with tens of thousands of followers but very little engagement because they didn't post content that was interesting to their following.     I absolutely have a better understanding of how to use social media to build my business. The best part of this course is that it forces you to look at existing companies and valuate their success...
