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:

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.

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 review and noticed there were reviews so I replied to those customers that wrote a review.  I also added pictures.  Yelp partners with other social media sites so this will allow those sites to be assessable since now we are part of Yelp.

Yelp is more for restaurants, hotels and services such as plumbing.  But I can see it grow more for retail stores so I am interested in seeing how many hits we get of people viewing our retail store on Yelp.

I updated Google Map and Google Business and this will help give guests directions but also some other social media sites use google map and google business so now will be assessable to those sites as well.

Another social site is the Aurora mall since the retail store Leather Direct Colorado is in the Aurora Mall in Colorado.  I send a new logo and pictures to the mall to post on their website so I am waiting for that.  I really don't like their website but any new pictures and a promo we are running should do well on their social media site.

The other social media sites mentioned in the assignment would not work for this retail site.  I don't think either videos will work too well for the retail site but I may try one.

I don't think Linkin or Tumbler will work either to grown our business but I am interested in it all!

I will keep looking to see what I can do to add more social sites.

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 that says 4.8 out of 5 in res

Blog Week 4 -  Post One - Feb 14, 2019 Identify 3 potential problems with these websites: Website #1:artcenter.org I really enjoyed this website.  It has great pictures and it's broken in many parts.  I see the following improvements: *  Adding music to each act so if a person clicks on the website and the artist, they could listen to their music. *   The logo should be on each page and larger font.  It does have a lot going on, maybe too much going on, so you can get lost in the website. *     I could not find the address to the center and I clicked on a few links until I finally found it.  This should be easier to find so people don't get frustrated. Website #2 www.apple.com I checked this website this is how I would improve this website: *   The website is too dark.  It needs more light, to make it more appealing.  Maybe some music to give it a more exciting look. *     Could not find a phone number.  I clicked on many links, even help link but I could
