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 delivery times available.)
  • Tuesday: Go to vendors and pick up product for second delivery run. Next, prepare meals for second delivery route. 
  • Wednesday: Second delivery route of the week.
  • Thursday: Prepare one week of scheduled social media posts, write newsletter, update website, recipe experimentation, public relations, address customer feedback, accounting.
  • Friday: Community outreach (visit local schools, businesses, meet with potential social media partners, visit potential vendors.
I replied to Manny first. He and I came to the same decision that we would prefer doing our own posting and save money that would be spent on a management service. 


Second I replied to Sarah. She did extra research looking into the top free management services. She had a great point in saying that she would prefer to start with a free service before committing to a paid provider. 


Finally, I replied to Max's post. He made the great point that while there are managers which cost less, they often do not provide the same standard of service as the higher price point sites. I definitely agree with him that quality trumps quantity, and if I do one day decide to use one of these services I will opt for a premium service like Sprout Social.

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 ...
