Week 5 - Post 1
Set Two - Subway and Hungry Bear

The difference in each target market is that Subway is aiming for the young adult and the Hungry Bear is aiming for older adults.  As the subway website has a lot of information, graphics that move (websliders).  Lots of information on the web page.  The Hungry Bear has a simple for ma, the top part where you click on to get information but not live graphics or pictures of food.  Simple format.

Subway target market, is aiming for repeat guests since they change their websliders for promos.  They also offer delivery and order online, so the website can be used every day.  The website is aiming at the consumer who is worried about the planet so they have a section on what Subway is doing for the environment.

Hungry Bear aims for a person who visits the site once.  To read the menu and not online orders or delivery.  It's a simple design.  When I would hit the icons on top, they kept moving.  Older adults will like this simple format if they just want to know the menu items and prices for the menu and not much else.

The two differences in these websites is that one is a national chain and you can see they spent a lot of money in maintaining the website.  The Hungry Bear spent the bare (pun) minimum on their website.  It's a simple format, they don't have to update very much, except for a promotion that they just list and don't show pictures.  They have some bear pictures but those are more like logos than actual pics of food.

There is not much of a cross over except for a person who is hungry and is just viewing menus and prices.  The subway viewer is:
Young Adult under age 30
Educated
Different ethnicities
Both Genders
Income -any income

Hungry Bear
Older Adult - over 55 years old
Educated
Both genders
Income Medium

My conclusion is the Subway wants guests to view their website every day so they post pictures or what they are doing in the community. The Hungry Bear only wants those checking the website for job or to see what is currently on their menu but not to keep coming back.  The tone is very simple format for the Hungry Bear.

Week 5 - Part 2 -Target Market Analysis for comparing if older adults and families can come together to frequent Coco's Restaurants or if there is too much difference. The target audience right now is 55 years and older, male, single, retired, educated, Caucasian.  Coco's has 38 locations in California and Arizona so many of the restaurants have different guests to focus on.  Some locations are in tourists areas like Anaheim and Brea so they focus on the traveler.  Some Coco's are in destination spots like in Monterey so they focus on the weekend couple.  Some Coco's are in neighborhoods so they focus on the elderly guest who frequents daily and it's his or her second home. Need to study industry and how guests see the Coco's name

Week 6 - Part II Define the difference between post reach and post engagement.  Post Reach is the number of people who saw my post and post engagement is when people click on lines on facebook Why is knowing the difference important?  To help measure effectiveness for social media campaigns.  Engagement is when the social media content is actually intriguing the customer so they click on a link (coupon) or something to learn more about the product or service.  Post Reach is just posting something the customer sees flash but cant be measured. After defining the terms, describe how a business can use Facebook Insights to better serve their customers.  Insight measures with graphs pages, posts and people - snapshots to show growth. DO NOT JUST COPY AND PASTE CONTENT FROM THE INTERNET - I will be looking for thoughtful responses and personal opinions here. Because insights are not available before you have 30 likes, many of you with brand new pages won't ...

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 ...
