Week 17: Final Blog Post

Final Blog Post

This class was an amazing time. I've learned so much in order for the course of 17 weeks. Many things have changed in my mind on how I view social media now. Seeing that my viewpoint prior to this class was all over the place. I never knew what to really explain on the sites. Now I have a clear idea on how to approach and promote certain ideas to gain more customers. I never knew prior to this class all the options that social media sites use for business. It is almost like a whole other site in itself. Now knowing how to use these different tools to help open my horizon when working with Marry Me Wedding Designs. 

Seeing all the different types of services are quite astounding. Facebook has so many options to help a business owner manage their page and work towards bettering themselves.  Working with Facebook this term has helped me better understand how to engage customers. I've made about 18 followers so far and I hope to gain more throughout this career course. I've also learned that if you engage with your customers it increases interactions and helps your business grow. Using these sites has helped my business grow, more people I've never met have messaged me about scheduling a booking which is fantastic. 

There are many new ways of discovering social media sites. I never knew how to work a business side for Instagram before. I've found it really interesting how it works. It goes off of your personal profile. Personally, I didn't really like that. I always want to keep my home life and work life separate. Although being on social media myself I can see it will be quite difficult to do that. Instagram has different options than Facebook with the Hashtag tool. Making it easier to grow as a business and getting my business out there. 

Learning about different ways to catch the customer's attention was greatly helpful. I never really understood how businesses did that. Seeing now it is a process on how to go about posting. Before taking this class I always thought that their posts were all random. Now taking this class I can see it wasn't, you have to plan it out, making sure you catch the customer's eye, having them want to come and check out your page. Making sure you stay in touch with your customer base engaging with them. It can really help your business more people that know more people that would want to make an appointment. 

Seeing all these options I've learned so much more about what it is like to run a social media site for a business. Looking at all of our classmate's pages I would actually order from Rebel Rose Designs. Their products seem to be so engaging and her posts draw you in. No matter what type of business you are in Social Media is a great source to help strengthen your ability as an entrepreneur to create and build an amazing business.
