Week 5B: Target Market


I am pleased to announce and introduce you to a made up company Cousha Café, my privately owned and operated coffee shop and café. The location will be open up in North Park of San Diego, California. Identifying the location of this store will help outline the target market for it. North Park has a reasonably diverse population with a large percentage of young adults from their early 20s to their late 30s with the median age being 35 years old. I want to advertise specifically to this age range of people while at the same time reaching out further to people of all ages, races, genders and backgrounds. By doing more research on the exact demographics of the population there, I will be able to further analyze and compile data on how to cater to my target audience. This will help me create a target market report with a specific plan for advertising. I will do the majority of my advertising on social media. Once I have created the target market report, I will create project goals and financial projections for my café. If this company ever does become a reality, knowing how to establish these projections will help me discover what I’m doing wrong and how to better reach my target market in the future.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Till next time...x

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 ...

Week 2A: Overview of Social Media

  Nowadays we have so much variety when it comes to what we choose to expose ourselves to on the internet and on a daily basis , those options are expanding. 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. We have to ask ourselves what our goal is and what we want to get out of our experience on social media. Some options are going to be a better fit when it comes to personal use and others are going to be better for business.   Each of the sites previously mentioned are geared towards personal use, but each one of them has their own vibe.  For starters, Facebook is a site where we are able to keep our family in our online loop, but at an arm's length. I’m sure each one of you has an aunt that has posted on your timeline as i...

Week 14: Developing Online Advertising

Image
      This is an example of ads I would use for my social media accounts for Cousha Coffee. I feel that these would be effective because although they are basic in nature, they let new customers know about my store and how and where they can visit. In addition, when it comes to advertising for your store there is usually an objective that guides it. This can range from any kind of call to action or it can be used to update, to influence or to remind customers about your store and products. When it comes to these objectives, I think it would be most useful to inform customers about my products and what my business is all about because it is brand new and people know nothing about it. I think I could use multiple objectives for my business as it grows and gains popularity. An example of this would using an advertising campaign to influence customers that visit other coffee shops and explain to them why mine is a product they should try as well. I also would...
