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 3 - Part 2 - Coco's Restaurants https://cocosbakery.com https://www.facebook.com/Coco's Bakery Restaurant There are no links on their website so I then went to their facebook page.  I noticed that the company were responding to comments made on facebook.  Usually replies were every 3 days and not on weekends or at night.  This company needs to post their social media sites on their website to help guests leave comments.  They could use social media better as I see their local promotions on facebook but its something that is on their website so you can see it there. Dennys Restaurants https://Dennys.com I went to their site and I noticed they have every social media site you can think of to click on to comment on visits and see promotions.  So I clicked on: http://www.facebook.com/Dennys This site is great, they have fun sayings about their food.  People are commenting and there is somebody answering the comments.  They have a rating tha...

Week 17 - Final Week - Summary - Susan Sullivan How has your social media changed over the semester? We had zero social media before I started this class.  Now we have a presence in all social media avenues.  Before, we didn't pay for any marketing, now all the marketing budget we have, I requested to be used for boost posts. Has there been an impact on your business? Yes, lot more awareness for the brand.  By seeing these posts (And I posted on the website of the mall the store currently is at and gave new pictures) we are seeing more people coming into the store and calling to ask about merchandise. Growth of customers and increased interaction is a key component? I paid for some boosts so I could study the analytics.  I studied Google and Face book and saw how many clicked, directions, checked pictures, when viewed and clicked.  This part was very interesting to me and I learned a lot.  I also made a group where I sent these posts and I think...

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...
