Week 3B:


  1. Skin by Winnie
https://skinbywinnie.glossgenius.com
Skin by Winnie is the name of my esthetician’s business, which I mentioned in my last blog post. Jessica (my esthetician) has opted out of the traditional website and gone for a more minimalist approach. Jessica has a website,but not exactly what you'd imagine, her website is extremely simplistic and maine focus is on booking and contact. The majority of her business is promoted through Instagram. Jessica’s Instagram has a link to her website along with tabs for reviews. I really love the way she has her Instagram page layed out, its practical and has a great aesthetically appealing flow to it. Her last post was a week ago, but post on her story almost everyday.
  1.   La Lady Nails
              @laladynails 
La Lady Nails is a specialized nail salon that I currently follow on Instagram. Similar to Skin by Winnie’s  business managing techniques, the majority of her promotion is done on Instagram. Riley Miranda is the owner of La Lady nails and she doesn't have a website, but instead uses a third party website called Vagaro for her bookings. While I personally don't mind the lack of website I know to some this may be considered a con when it comes to business promotion. Although she is lacking an official website she is using Vagaro for bookings and service listings. I feel like her lay out is easy to navigate and gets the point across. Her last official post was 5 days ago, but she posts on her story everyday.
  1. Danielle Foster 
             @Daniellemakesthingz
Danielle Foster is a close friend of mine that is currently navigating through the work of business  promotion via online. Danielle originally started out with just an Instagram page and quickly expanded to an etsy and website as well. Over time Danielle has adjusted to just promoting her business through her website and Instagram. Danielle has done a good job making all of her accounts intertwined with each other. Danielles last Instagram post was yesterday.

     4.     Color Mi Vino
             https://colormivino.com
Color Mi Vino is a local wine and painting studio by my house. Color Mi Vino as ideally check all the boxes when it comes to online promotions, they have Facebook, Instagram, and website. Although this is a great business concept the online management is seriously lacking. When you visit their social media pages it just feels outdated as if it was run by my mom.I think the problem lies in the lay out and the fact that they haven't really narrowed in on an aesthetic for their pages. Their most recent post on Instagram was yesterday.
    5.       Hair by Paige, INC.
            @hairbypaigeinc
This is a small business owned by my hairdresser Paige. ( is the name of the business didn't already give it away) Like many of the other small business owner’s that I’ve taken a look at this evening paige doesn't have a website. As I went through these professionals that I use regularly and began to notice the trend of no websites I can't help but ask, are websites becoming obsolete? Unlike the other business paige doesn't have any other form of social media outside of her Instagram. I would have normally thought that the lack of social media would hinder a business nowadays, but to the contrary Paige’s is thriving. Paige’s business is doing so well she is currently not accepting new clients. Despite the fact that she doesn't have multiple platforms she's operates through she is very active on the one she does have. Paige even tends to share personal content on her business page which, oddly enough makes it more inviting. Paige’s last post was two days ago.

Week1A: Template Theme

For as long as I can remember I have been a very indecisive individual. I have always liked things in a very particular way and to no surprise this situation was no different.  To be honest with you all, the last word that anybody would describe me as is tech-savvy, which is hard for me to admit considering I have grown up in a society completely immersed in technology. So as you can imagine, trying to navigate a website I've never heard of to try and create a blog (something I never thought I'd do) was far from a relaxing process.    I get easily overwhelmed with too many choices and with something that I'll be using for an extended period of time, who could blame me for being picky. I'm not going to lie and say that most of that time I spent on here wasn't wasted on trying to figure out how to navigate this site, cause it was. I had been going back and forth on a theme for almost an hour prior to narrowing in on this one. I really wanted something that wasn&

Week 17: My Final Blog Post!

            Although I do not own my own business, this class has taught me invaluable information on how I can market, promote and advertise for a future company should I try and create one. I never knew how many different apps and tools there were to help improve a business and make sure it is reaching further and further into the Internet. I have enjoyed experimenting and learning how to use so many different ones, in addition to just having knowledge of how company’s work and what they do to advertise to me as a consumer. Finally, this class has taught me the importance of consistently creating content across multiple platforms in order to keep a store in business. This class was one of my favorites during this semester.             Before taking this class, I was not aware of the different uses of social media. I had my own profiles on some of these platforms like Facebook and Instagram but I never posted anything and mostly just used the to look around when I w

By being in the midst of this ever expanding digital age , there are so many options on how to create our online imagine. When it comes to social media specifically , we have options like Facebook , Instagram , Snapchat , Twitter and so many other random platforms in between.
