Blog Week 4, Part Two - Tw0  websites to write about

First website
http://Starbucks.com

This is my favorite website. as well as I love the product.  The reason their website is successful is their logo is the opening of their website and its the icon when I saved it to my mobile so Starbucks is always connected to me.  They have everything on this website.  You can order your menu item on line and not wait, they have contests on line, you can order gift cards, you can leave reviews, you can play games, you can find locations and music.

I love their design.  the font is large and there is not so much color to take away anything.  The logo appears every where.  The colors are their restaurants colors.  Very easy menu to follow and you never get stuck in one site.

I go to this website every day.  First to order a treat/drink every day.  Second, to see if they have any discounts for the day or new products.  Every day, they emai to my inbox at Starbucks.  So, it doesn't bog down my email address with promos, if I want to see the latest then I go to my inbox at Starbucks and read about the new offers.  It's very easy to connect and the platform is easy to follow.

Everything can always be approved.  Sometimes when ordering, it does not show me the closest Starbucks so I end up ordering from one a few miles away even thou I am right in front of the Starbucks.  Also, the contests, you have to go to a different website, so you sign in there as well.

Second website
http://Cocosbakery.com

This is the website from my work so I choose this one since I am frequently on this website.  This website is effective if like looking at web sliders and seeing the current promotions or ordering food online.  The logo is big and bold and the pictures of the food are vibrant.

The web sliders are big and bold and has good timing to move different ones so a guests sees the current promos being offered.  There are large icons like order food, order gift cards, leave feedback, menu that is easy to follow.

I come again because its my work.  Others would come to see the current promotions and to order food or gift cards or leave feedback.  But guests would not come daily to see the website unless its just to give a take out order on line.  There is a desk top and mobile site for ordering.

Lots of improvement is needed.  The location map is not that good, and you put in zip codes of locations and it does not find them.  The food online, is not that pretty and not all pictures are there of the food.  The feedback icon is very small so sometimes guests miss it and not know where to leave comments.  There is no contest on line nor music or animation to get you excited about this website.

Week 16 - Part 1 - Create a schedule on which platforms

Week 16 - Part 1 -Create a Schedule on which platforms I enjoyed creating and posting on facebook and Instagram.  I feel these two areas the most effective way to grow our store's audience.  I would post once a month any new jackets that we received and build a mailing list.  I feel that our audience would be best fit if they saw some of our merchandise if it flashed on Instagram and facebook. New Arrivals - once a month When a major sporting event happens such as World Series, Super Bowl -send out a post When a new Sport Season starts such as when baseball or football starts I would post on face book and Instagram I would also write a monthly blog about a subject that is related to a sporting event. I will grow our eclub so we can send out coupons and offers on birthdays. I feel that blogging, face book, Instagram and newsletters will work best with our jacket store.  We can do $100 a month on social media posts dividing among face book and some goo...

Week 13 - Part 1 I started putting in NFL sports jackets and found some websites and some physical stores that I studied: Fanatics.com/ncaa/Colorado - This is what came up with searched key words.  I then went to their website which is www.fanatics.com/ncaa/colorado This was more of a website than a physical store.  As soon as it came up, there was a large DISCOUNT SIGN and many pictures of apparel.  Their prices are good, its a huge company, so our little store would have to compete with those that physically go in to look around and want it that day for say a gift or to give their money to the little guy. I then found a store called Sportsfan in Denver Colorado.  This had no website nor facebook page.  Just on Bing showed addressed and hours so there is no advertising I could report on but it was a physical store and no web presence. Next, during my search, says a company called Fanzz Sports Apparel.  I clicked on their facebook and website a...

Week 12 - Part One- Using Yelp, Google My Business,  Bing I went ahead and created a Google My Business location site so now potential customers can write reviews, and I can answer them as well as get directions and hours of our location.  This is the site location for google my business: https://business.google.com/dashboard/l/14775070158524850291?hl=en I also went ahead and made a location for Yelp for Leather Direct Colorado and here is the link.  This way I can also answer reviews and customers can see hours of operation and location and what we do. https://www.yelp.com/biz/leather-direct-aurora-2 I also made an account for Bing, I just need to verify it when someone gets to the store tomorrow.  The store is in Colorado so I have to wait to call and get someone to do the code for me. Bing is great, as it shows at the top of search engines so this will be usefull tool as another social media site. Week 12 - Part Two - Discussion So I made a Yelp r...
