Week 16A: Developing Your Marketing Strategy

I feel that Instagram and Facebook will integrate best with my business. I feel that these are the two platforms where my target consumer, working parents, spend their time. By posting interesting and sharable content like infographics and recipes, I think that instagram will be a powerful tool not just for brand awareness but community interaction. Facebook groups are extremely appealing to me as a way to market my business. In week 6 when we learned about engaging with customers on Facebook I learned how many groups there are in the area dedicated to raising families. My plan is to join these groups and post about Nunu to spread my brand awareness with the moms and dads of North County. I also really believe in the use of a email newsletter and maintaining a blog on Nunu's website. When researching other companies, I connected most with the ones that created content that went deeper than simply talking about their own product and trying to convince users to buy it. It's my philosophy that building community is the way to keep a company sustainable and build strong customer loyalty. By keeping a blog and newsletter which talk about our common interests which are relevant to Nunu's brand identity, we will make more than a business. We will make a space where people feel engaged and excited to be part of. 

In a previous post I shared my daily operation plan for Nunu, specified for each the day of the week. I think that everyday I will commit at least an hour to addressing any customer messages, replying to comments, and looking for new accounts to engage with. This is so that I am always actively monitoring the account and active for my audience. Once a week I will set aside time to schedule our posts for the seven days. Throughout the work week I will always be on the look for photo opportunities and keeping an ear out for any stories that will be worth posting. This is because while I can schedule posts in advance, I think that finding quality content is a full time job.

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...
