Week 12A: Using Other Online Tools


So far in this class we’ve used multiple social media accounts like Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, but there are many more tools that still out there that could further improve my fake business and everyone else’s as well. For my café, I think Yelp would be the best other sites/tools to utilize to develop my business. For any restaurant, Yelp is an invaluable tool to market your menu and what your customers think of you with their reviews. To integrate into my current business plan, I would incentivize customers to leave reviews in exchange for something small, like a free coffee. Encouraging customers to leave reviews boosts the star rating each business has and will make it easier for new customers to find and try your store. It would also allow me to see what complaints or suggestions any people have and see how I can exchange, fix, or improve on what they’ve said. One more positive aspect of this website is that it can show important yet basic information about your store like your hours, location and price range. Yelp is the most popular app used when most people, including myself, are looking for a new place to eat or get drinks and because of this, I would definitely add it to my business plan for my café.

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 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. We have to ask ourselves what our goal is and what we want to get out of our experience on social media.
