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 2A: Communication Between Business & Consumer

      There's no question that social media has drastically changed the relationship between businesses and consumers. The main factor enacting this change is the way social platforms have streamlined each parties ability to communicate with one another. Through the targeted ad options provided by platforms like facebook, instagram and yelp, companies can now create hyper-specific profiles of the type of consumer they wish to see their ad. For example, I am a health nut. I'd guess 80% of my internet searches are surrounding nutrition, spiritual wellness, exercise, or researching health related goods and services. On top of that, most accounts I follow besides from personal friends and family are in the personal wellness field. Because of this, nearly all of my ads are products in this category. Teas, workout programs, yoga retreats, the companies selling these products have worked with social media platforms to determine i am a likely purchaser, and pay to ensure their content

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 archit

Week 3A: Aesthetics, Design, and Branding

1.      The first website I see issues with is that of MGBD Parts. The mixed font sizes and colors is very disorienting and its hard to focus on any one point they are trying to get across. Also, there isn't a clean introduction page, you are just thrown into a messy homepage with images and font spread all over the page, nothing is centering your attention and its hard to know where you're supposed to look. Thirdly, the page is very outdated, it gives the impression that the owner hasn't taken time to modernize their company and may not provide top tier service.      The second website I visited was Penny Juice. Like MGBD Parts, the homepage is not giving me a clear message as to where they want me to go. I cant tell if they're selling a product, raising money, or just an info page. I also feel that the stock images that they put on their website steer me away from trusting their product, as it gives me the impression that there isn't tremendous pride in their bran
