Overview

I discovered that corporations don't actually have a lot of engagement on their posts rather their engagement comes from the advertisement or conventional customer feedback. Social media is just a way to circulate more information. Smart social media managers will take implement trends to up their engagement game. Popeyes recently experienced a huge social media boom due to the memeability of their chicken sandwiches, which utilized samrt moves by their social media managers to ultimately get tons of free press.

Other more rooted companies like big banks or science-related industries keep a professional tone and rely more on conventional advertising with the supplement of social media to keep up appearances and basically have a repository of media.

Restaurants and restaurant chains can have specific social media pages either for the local site or for the company in total. Engagement varies and social media is more or less used to show off deals and encourage customers to buy products.

Longform video and image services such as youtube, Pinterest, and Flickr are completely underused by companies to promote products. These sites usually count as repositories for said commercials or circulation around the web.


I commented on Allison Vincent's, Stephanie Desouzas, and Christina Brady's

Communicating with Businesses as A Consumer

-
A Smart Consumer is a Happy Consumer When it comes to interacting with businesses I've only ever seen it through the lens of another party, usually a video or a meme. I have never really had issues with the products I have bought throughout my life and dealing with the bank to check accounts or get back into my account because I put in the wrong password. I have used internet forums more often than not in order to fix issues with my PC or to research issues with whatever service I am having trouble with. With the advent of mass social media, corporations can easily respond to customer issues. Both small and big businesses can directly communicate with their clients in order to answer questions and solve issues. For those in need of solutions, I can definitely see how social media can very quickly reach the desired outcome for both business and consumer. I myself have never used social media to directly communicate with a business. At my job( I work at a theme park) however one

Social Media and Marketing: Making Distinction(CSIT Week II Part I)

-
Social Media as an Evolving Tool of The Corporate and Social World I think it is important to set the stage when talking about social media as both its own corporate platform and a tool for social use. All companies need to make a profit and its no secret that Facebook(who owns Instagram and a slew of other social media corps) sells information to other research centers and even government companies. Other than that, however, corporate brands pay to expose their product all over front pages and timeline feeds. Much akin to just walking down the street in real life and seeing a slew of advertisements, when one walks down a digital pathway they are exposed to paid advertisements. Instagram and Snapchat are functionally 'personal usage' platforms with a focus on sharing either public or private content. Snapchat is oriented around quick tidbits from friends to friends with its 'news' section just being clickbait garbage. Youtube and Facebook present an entirely corporat

The Beginning: Setting Tone and Structure(CSIT WEEK I)

-
Hello and welcome to my Blog for the Fall Semester of the year 2019. The purpose of this blog is not only to be used as a vessel for finishing assignments but for recording and instantiating progress of the class. I should mention the class is CSIT 155, Social Media for Business. I am looking forward to recording my experiences and gaining new knowledge of a large facet of the social media bubble. Setting The Tone: Picking a Theme Possibly one of the most important facets of a building website(apart from the code and general backdoor networking) is the aesthetic design and user interaction. Luckily with blogger, it gives us predetermined templates we can choose from in order to skip the whole shenanigans of coding. Themes in general layout the feel and tone of a site and determines what the user sees first and how they interact with said website. Choosing an aesthetically pleasing and fitting tone is the definite first step in developing an efficient blog. There is a stark differe
