Week 8 Part A: How to Expand Your Reach on Instagram by Using Hashtags The first business that I will be reviewing will be Sunset_Dragons_Insta which is a breeder that is located in Italy but they are able to ship worldwide. From the looks of their page they seem to be a relatively new business but they appear to be doing well for themselves as they have multiple animals on their page being sold. They currently have 2,553 followers and they are posting every day new pictures of bearded dragons they have available for sale. Some of their most used hashtags-#likeforlikes,#beardeddragon, #color, and #dragonbarbudo. Their last post was made two days ago and as it is right now it does not have any comments but it currently has 110 likes, in every picture before this one there is still very few comments on their pictures. The best thing that this business is doing to improve it's business is the fact that they are so active on their Instagram with posts being made so frequently which i

Week 7 Part B: How Businesses Use Instagram Instagram posts that I commented on: Morgan McCray- https://www.instagram.com/moskpoppage/ William Pisciotta- https://www.instagram.com/socalsurplusewaste/ Ana Gomez- https://www.instagram.com/flowersannettegomez/?hl=en After looking on Instagram, one thing that I noticed on some local business pages is that they make use of Instagram to promote their products or any services they offer. They include pictures that take potential customers through the process on how things are made or show the end result of their product. One aspect that I found interesting is that some of these businesses are not only using Instagram for their business but they were also using it for personal use. When promoting a business on a personal page, it can help bring more customers in because it helps potential customer's know that you are a real person and not just a person hiding behind a screen. As a customer at times myself when I see a businesses promotin
Week 6 Part B: Creating and Scheduling FaceBook Posts Pages that I commented on: Flowers~Annette Gomez (facebook.com) Mo's Kpop Page (facebook.com) Little Sweethearts Daycare (facebook.com) The posts that I chose to schedule are aimed at creating interaction between me and potential customers. The posts are a way for them to engage with the posts by sharing their own pictures, asking any questions or sharing their own knowledge. I did have some difficulty as I was able to take a picture with my phone of my scheduled posts but when I went into my activity log there was no evidence of my posts being there so I published them thinking this would fix this issue. The posts do show up in my activity log but are no longer under my scheduled posts.
Week 6 Part A: Engaging Your Customers - Facebook Strategy I liked the following pages on Facebook: FearNotTarantula LLLReptile Rainbow Mealworms SunCity Exotics KP's Critters Zoo Med Laboratories, INC. TikisGeckos I chose these pages because they are all pages that my potential target customers follow. As far as the first 3 these are businesses that I personally use rather frequently, so they are at the top of my list because they offer high quality items and have a good following on Facebook. The other businesses that I have listed I do not know as well but they have the target market I am looking for and sell similar reptiles. I think that on top of liking/following pages that are similar to mine in terms of animals they are selling it's important to also follow businesses that sell products essential to the health of your animals as well as food so if a customer asks which products or place to buy feeders I will be able to tell them which is why I also followed pages 3 an
Week 5 Part B: Learning about FaceBook Data Collecting 1. Post reach is important because it tells you how many people viewed your business page or interacted with the page. Whereas Post engagement tells you if people liked, commented or even shared your page to friends/family. 2. What we can learn from each is what is working and not working for those visiting your pages. Someone reaching out to your page does not necessarily mean that they are going to engage with your business. Maybe there is something that you can add to your page to increase engagement, or post more pictures to keep people intrigued. Worst case scenario there is the option to have your business to be advertised which is a great option if you have the extra funds if not you are going to have to work even harder to promote your page. 3. People can use these insights to try and make their business better it can help by showing who their customer's are which can help narrow down the target market. Knowing what i
