Final Post

I went into this class questioning the depth and criteria that could be associated with social media. Sure I am a millennial that is a little more vintage minded when it comes to using the web. I had very little experience using social media from a social aspect let alone for a business. I realized how wrong I was to think that it is not a necessity to any business looking to grow.

            For any success story now days, it seems to have a common root. There are some businesses or successful people who have the overnight explosion through social media and the ones who put in a lot of time building their status on the web. There is no question that without using the newest social media platforms, it is going to be rough making an impact on the world.

            Learning about how followers and likes are not as far as your reach will go was encouraging to someone on the sideline at the moment for social media for business. I think it’s a great thing that I have not already overexposed myself through social media and have a clean slate to build a business. The last thing I would want is to become a sta business due to lack of engagement and insight in the social media world.

            When it comes to business online, I learned that analytics is crucial. I had no idea the kind of depth analytics go into for your business. I’ve learned this is a great way to see where your business is lacking and where the strong points of your company are. This is going to help you to build the strongest marketing campaign for the company, boost sales, and hopefully fix any weak links you have going on.

            I think facebook is still very crucial to a business with personal relationships with clients. It gives a direct line of communication and helps keep in touch after the work may be done hopefully creating a return customer. When it comes to products or services, I believe the advantage should be using very visual platforms. Instagram, to me seems like the most successful when trying to push a product or service by catching the customers eye making it hard for the potential sale to say no.
