Week 2A: Social Media: Personal vs Business
As far as social media goes, there are many platforms that are intended
for personal use. Some are better for
business, and a lot of them function well for both. Tumblr, Pinterest and Snapchat are some of
many social media platforms geared toward personal use. They are all used to keep track of and share
personal things on the internet. Whether
it is sharing day to day events or interests, or using them as a form of
communication, they were started so people can interact with each other on a
personal level. They are all ways to
share personal interests with other people and are platforms used less for
advertising and people promoting businesses.
Some social media platforms that are used more for businesses
would be LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. LinkedIn specifically is used the most for businesses. It is used to connect businesses with individuals
who may be looking for a job, or who may make a good addition to their
team. The other three platforms,
interestingly enough, were started with personal use in mind and have
transformed into platforms for both personal, as well as business purposes.
Facebook, twitter, and Instagram are all social media platforms
that have transformed into very effective ways for businesses to gain information
that will help their sales and marketing, as well as the marketing its
self. Facebook especially gives them the
ability to make a page for your business to share with others. Facebook and Instagram have become extremely
popular places to post advertisements. If
you see an advertisement for something you like, you click on it and it brings
your directly to the page you can purchase it from.
Instagram gives businesses the opportunity to promote themselves,
creating interesting, artistic pages to promote their products in ways that can
produce more followers and brand loyalty.
Twitter functions in similar ways, allowing businesses to use words
instead of images to capture the interest of consumers. These platforms are slightly different from Facebook,
because businesses often interact with consumers on a more personal level.
It is fairly clear which social media platforms are most
effective for marketing and advertising.
Part of the reason they work, is due to the fact that it allows
businesses to connect with an abundance of consumers, while still interacting in
more personal ways. Today creating a
following and a loyal customer base can be completely dependent on a businesses
use of social media.

Week1A: My Template
My goal for the social
media class is to learn how to promote the fashion company I am trying to
start. The idea of the line is to create
fashion that combines an edgy style with hyper-femininity. The world we’re in demands that we look a
certain way, especially in professional settings. The goal is to help women show off their
personalities, while still looking “socially acceptable”.
Creating this blog will
help me start getting my images and ideas out there to promote my future company. It was fun and challenging to find images and
color schemes that really portrayed the idea that I’m trying to get across:
edgy but feminine.
The image I chose for my
theme is a bit self-explanatory. Pretty dresses
are what this blog is all about. I also
combined dark backgrounds with feminine, light colored fonts to show the
contradictory styles of the line. I’m
not super tech savvy so it took me quite a while, but I am relatively happy
with the outcome.
My future goals for this
blog are to include professional images of the garments in the line as the
template as well as in the posts. I look
forward to organizing my ideas on this platform, displaying the things I create,
and sharing them with the class. Hopefully
you enjoy it too! Any amount of feedback
is appreciated.
