Week 8B: Your Instagram Hashtag Use

For my first post on instagram I decided to post a chart of babies first 100 foods. I used the following caption and hashtags:

Babies 100 First Foods!
When babies begin eating solid foods, every week is a new world of nutritional needs. NuNu’s customized meal plans are tailored exactly to where your little one is developmentally 🧠🧠🧠

🥬 🥒 🥑 🥝 🌽 🍌 🍑 🍎 🍉 

#organicbabyfood #babiesfirst100#infantnutrition #babynutrition#6monthsold #7monthsold#8monthsold #9monthsold#eattherainbow #smartbaby#smartbabies #healthybabyfood#healthyrecipes #cleanbabyfood#cleanbabyproducts#sandiegomoms #oceansidemoms#socalmoms


Some of these hashtags I found from other pages that I reviewed in the previous exercise. I also decided to add more locally targeted hashtags like #oceansidemoms because I saw that there were already over 500 posts using that hashtag, and it represents the community I hope to connect with. I decided to use #eattherainbow because I know that it is a common phrase in the health community and I was hoping to expand my reach outside just baby related searches. I posted this in the morning, after school drop off times when I think moms will be going to the grocery store, planning this weeks meals, and potentially looking on their phone for recipe and food ideas.

My second post was featuring a particular ingredient that's common in our recipes, the green pea! I chose this because of all the pages I have examined in this course my favorite ones were those that focused on customer education. I used the following caption and hashtags:

Moms best friend! Green Peas are the protein powerhouse for all weaning babies. Filled with Vitamin K, green peas are the delicious and easy way to make sure your babies grow big and strong!

💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

#greenpeas #babyprotein #vitamink #organicbabyfood #babiesfirst100 #infantnutrition #babynutrition #6monthsold #7monthsold #8monthsold #9monthsold #eattherainbow #smartbaby #smartbabies #healthybabyfood #healthyrecipes #cleanbabyfood #cleanbabyproducts #sandiegomoms #oceansidemoms #socalmoms 


I chose to use the same hashtags as before, and also added ones specific to this post, like #vitamink and #babyprotein. I feel like the more specific a posts hashtags are the more successful they will be in reaching their desired audience. I came up with these posts on my own but they were already preexisting tags. Similarly, I also posted this in the morning after school drop off time and before families return home for the evening. I think that the middle of the day is when most mothers are thinking about what they will feed their families because it's when they are not actively tending to their children or spouse.

My third post is a picture of two children (one toddler and one infant) eating frozen popsicles I made out of our blended products. I chose to post this because I wanted to show the diversity of our product, and give new ideas for how Nunu can be used. It's also meant to be a mom tip for how to make sweet snacks healthier, and healthy snacks more exciting! 

Make treat time healthy! By putting your NuNu meal into a popsicle mold, you can create a nutritionally dense and delicious treat for your little ones at any age!🍦🍦🍧🍧🍓🍓

I chose to add a few more hashtags that are specific to this post, like healthy dessert and toddler snacks. I wanted to add toddler snacks because although NuNu is designed for babies, I wanted to portray how the product can be used for families with kids of different ages.

This exercise taught me that there is a huge world of hashtags. You can get lost in the mix if you are not as specific as possible. However, more general tags are also successful in that they can clearly articulate the commercial space you are hoping to fill. I also learned that hashtags play a huge role in a pages success. I saw many pages with lots of followers but little engagement, and every time those were the pages that either didn't use hashtags or didn't use them as effectively as they could have.

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...
