Week 3 - Part 1 -

Write: Blog Post Week 3 Part 1:

  • Have you ever experienced difficulty communicating with a business?   I have written some businesses directly through email and 50% answer and 50% don't.  I have yelped a few times about businesses and I have never received a response.  A few times, I bought some products online and emailed and then a week later got a response, but it was a response like from a computer, like generic and didn't address the problem.  I don't call anymore to businesses as no one answers.
  • Does social media make it easier to get noticed or get your problem solved?   Social Media, does resolve some issues faster like a bad restaurant or product.  Again, I have not had good success with a business getting back to me when I used a social media site.  Usually, I do the chat room thing, than call or use social media to address a problem.
  • Have you ever had a positive experience communicating with a business through social media?   I have not had a positive experience yet, I have emailed Starbucks and got a problem but resolved but again, that was not posting on a website for everyone to see.
  • If it was your own business on social media, how would you respond to positive or negative comments?  I would respond to negative reviews more generic so not to admit guilt or that there is a problem but to try to reach out to the guest and have him or her email a company email address to communicate.  That way others who visit this site, can see the company reach out but not omit there is an issue, as one might think its just the person leaving it on social media.  As we know, some people who leave issues on social media is leaving one side of the story.  I would say "thank you for letting us know of your unsatisfactory visit and management will be investigating and resolving any issues.  We would like to communicate with you, if you can email us at ???? and reference this post so we may communicate with you.  Thank you for helping us improve our operations.
  • Describe what made your experience negative or positive.  If a had an issue with say Starbucks and I posted that they got my order wrong, if Starbucks was to respond that they were sending me a free beverage or taking care of the problem then it would be a positive experience.  But if I post a negative post, and just get "thank you for your comments" then not I am not going to be satisfied.

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...
