Week 15: My Marketing Strategy

The social media platforms that integrated best with the business I created, Crafting Melodies Brewery, were Facebook and Instagram. The reason Facebook was one of the best was because of the tools they provide business, such as the Audience insight and Analytics tools. The Audience insight tools allow business to learn more about their customers by what posts they interact with and which ones they pass by, allowing business to be able to cater better to their audience. There is also the Analytics tools that allow you to look through the data that your page has collected such as the traffic you are bringing in on a daylit basis allowing business to be more in the know of what weeks or months brought more people to their Facebook page. Instagram was also a social media platform that worked well with my business because I was able to be more personable with the posts, I created opposed to having them be strictly about business events.

Throughout the semester the social media site I enjoyed using the most was Instagram because I had more freedom to post what I wanted. I could do the same with Facebook, but it felt like it should be more to promote events or new draft beers that would be coming to the brewery.

I believe for my business to be successful I would need to be more involved in my social media platforms and make it a priority. Now this is not a real business so it was difficult to feel invested in the way I believe I would be invested if the business were real.

To grow and sustain the business I would need to post on Instagram daily, by putting photos of new beers or events. I could also post photos wishing everyone a good Christmas or happy holidays. I could also do this on Facebook to be able to use their tools to continue to learn more about the people who are interacting with the posts I have put out.

Week 1 B: First Blog

Music who needs it? I decided to go with this theme of a concert because I love music. I know, I know. Who doesn't like music? Well for most of my life I could not see a need for it. I chose not to listen to it all through out middle school even though all my friends loved it. It wasn't until high school that my best friend decided to sit me down and have me listen to music. By listen I mean we sat down music blasting all day, from the morning to the afternoon dissecting song after song for all it has to offer such as lyrics, melodies, and emotion.  After that day I saw music a completely different way. It wasn't just something you listen to its something you can feel as well. I soon noticed that music could be used as a method to cope with losses or used in moments of excitement or happiness. It was possible to find a song that could connect you to an artist or musician through how you felt that day and how they felt the moment they wrote or composed the song. I could ha...

Week 10: Email Marketing

 This is my first time using a email newsletter so it was nice to read up on how to be effective when sending one out. I believe in order to be effective when sending one out from my business I should focus on only sending one once a week. The information my newsletter could provide would be mostly be sales but I could also use them to educate my customers on what goes into making a good crafted beer. Ideas for Newsletter: Promote new local music since I would want to support local artists. Promote new beers that are joining our menu in order to keep our customers guessing. Refer a Friend and get a Sticker to try to get more people to join the newsletter. Events that are going to be taking place for holidays to get more people to come spend the holidays with us. Frequently asked questions and feedback so our customers have all their questions answered and are able to give us advice on what they would like to see. Blogs I Commented on: Bertha Alvarez - Rad Math Tutoring Kelly Zimbel...
