week 16 Final Assignment

Social Sites... Who would've ever thought how beneficial they would become to companies that are wanting to connect with their target market, advertise, or network. Before taking CSIT 155 I was aware that social sites had advertising included in the overall model of the sites however never to the degree of which I learned and was able to actually identify with while completing the semester assignments. I most definitely was enlightened. The analytics that are available for business's that want to truly understand their market, and demographics is phenomenal. Important information ranging from the  ages of the people viewing your post, where they live, and even what kind of device they are utilizing to engage. Companies that take heed to the information from the reports they receive are able to formulate a strategic social media campaign. One that directly aligns itself with what's working best for the business. Implementing this, saves time and money. Not wasting time...

The Facebook analytics insight feature is awesome! The data collected is so valuable in understanding what's working in your marketing campaign and what's not. The followers section specifies exactly how many followers your page has and when and where you picked those followers up from. This information is very valuable when you are wanting to establish Brand recognition. Using this data helps you focus your efforts where you are gaining the most support. The action section itemizes out people who clicked on any of your information on your "about us" area. Address, phone number, action button, or website. The data is so detailed it will tell you the age, country, gender, and even the device the person used. Detailed is an understatement.This was so beneficial to understand the demographics of the people who are actually engaging on your page. Poetry Events recently sent out a page suggestion to all of our personal friends. Within minutes we had close to 100 foll...

ADVERTISING!!! can be fun and tedious all at the same time. Creating a fun, compelling campaign that delivers and fulfills specific goals takes creativity and also insight. Social Sites have fundamental rules that dictate who, how, when your posts or tweeted ads are viewed and how much it will cost you. Facebook ad options include: Facebook’s desktop News Feed, Facebook’s desktop right column Facebook’s mobile News Feed,  Instagram’s mobile News Feed. Generally Banner ads are found in the Facebook right column section and are small, specific CTA (call-to-action) ads that are enticing users to click now to book, or save on a particular promotion. Poetry Events would implement Banner ads that would be visible from both desktop and mobile and be shareable thru Instagram as well. Banner ads are affordable and measurable. Poetry Events is a new company so our key marketing strategy is to acquire brand recognition. Our social media campaign would reflect those goals. The ban...

Deals! are always a great way to attract new customers. Groupon would be a great avenue to utilize while growing my business clientele and even during slow periods. "Poetry" would create a campaign for Groupon that will offer savings percentages based on the amount spent per event. For example, a customer that spends over $2500.00 on the entire consulting pkg will receive 20% off.  The benefit of offering a coupon deal is payment upfront. However, pre-paying for services before they are actually rendered can cause confusion if extra services are required to complete the job. Also customers can adapt to the discounted prices and be unwilling to pay the normal rates for services, and always be looking for the next "deal". What's a business without reviews?? Do you even exist! Seriously in today's society where people look to peer reviews before purchasing or patronizing any company or event. It's very important that customers are able to rate your busine...

There are several other rising social sites that engage many vistors and can be very beneficial to building a presence and a Brand name. Yelp is a review site that allows viewers to leave ratings and comments about their service and experiences. However One-sided yelp can be,  it gives users feedback from previous cutomers and also gives location directions for businesses with brick and mortor locations. I believe "Poetry" Event Planning for Businesses can benefit from the reviews through yelp. The reviews will help attract more clients and allow previous clients to engage and comment on their experiences with our company.
