Week 10 - Part 2: Blog Categories / Classmates' Blog Comments

Blogs can be a busy place.  Blog architecture and organization are important for navigation as categories can help visitors find specific information.

 The categories I would use for my class blog are:

 Fily Willy Auto Care: In retrospect, I should have added this label to all my posts.  As a representative of the business, I would want to add this label as it is referenced in almost all my posts.

 Social Media Platforms (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter): When naming the various social media platforms, I would also add this label with the relevant social medium so that visitors can follow or like all our online presence.

 Blog Comments: Since this is a class blog and many assignment posts require comments on fellow classmates', this would be a helpful category.

 In the future, Fily Willy Auto Care's blog will have the following categories so that visitors/customers can easily filter information they are looking for:
  • Preventative Maintenance Tips - promoting safety for drivers, occupants and for others on the road.  As well, preventing cost prohibitive expenses if possible with preventative maintenance.  The blog will serve as an educational resource for visitors.
  • Customer Testimonials - potential customers looking to gain insight using others' opinions for services.
  • Videos on easy DIY auto care - visitors can come to the blog for education and insight how to perform tasks on their vehicles.
  • Posts about business and community events - keeping customers mindful of what is happening at Fily Willy Auto care and in the surrounding community.


 I commented on the following classmates' blog for Week 10:
  • Matthew Dangyou
  • Michele Cortes
  • Francesca Haman

    The categories you picked will be very helpful for everyone. I remember once my friend needed to put air in her tire and none of us knew how to do it so we had to try and figure it out with us not knowing if we were doing it right.

Week 3 Part I: Communicating with a Business

Social media is a powerful tool to communicate with businesses.  As mentioned in the class lecture, "Social media can give customers an opportunity to talk and business to listen." (Faulk n.d.) I have used social media to communicate my praise and disappointment with various businesses, whether "liking" on Facebook or Instagram or leaving a comment on Yelp, these tools made it easier to be acknowledged and heard.  There exists transparency with the company because the feedback is public for all those to view and be influenced by peers.   My experience has been positive when communicating my transaction or experience through social media.  For example, when commenting on a restaurant, I posted a picture of the dish and appended my comments on its deliciousness.  I received a reply from a restaurant employee thanking me for my patronage and inviting me to visit again soon.  That created a "connection" for me as a warm welcome back and a motivator to ...

Week 16 - Post 1: Future Social Media Strategy

Social media is an outreach tool for customers or potential clients.   Fily Willy Auto Care has been able to establish Facebook, Instagram and Twitter accounts through this class. The social media that I personally enjoy using the most is Instagram.  It is a quick way to gain impressions with photography and as the old adage goes, "a picture is worth a thousand words." I have never used Instagram prior to this class, so being able to establish an account and put it into practice has been a fun exercise.  It will be enjoyable to continue on with Instagram with captivating posts and to be captivated in return by others. Future Strategic Planning : Fily Willy Auto Care remains in the planning stages for our marketing.   We are creating discrete (and hopefully) attainable goals that will be verified by metrics (Facebook Insights, Google Analytics, etc.) . The social media platform that will be focused on for Fily Willy Auto Care is Facebook.  This pl...

Week 15 - Post 2: Facebook Insights

Image
Facebook Insights for Fily Willy Auto Care While reviewing the Insights for our business page, I observed an overall downward trend of all our statistics.  This is not surprising, however, as our  posts have been less frequent and our content less personalized and more generic greetings to those that follow us. 1. We had an increase in followers in the past 7 days, likely due to the CSIT 155 assignment for peers to like our page.  We are encouraged to see that our demographics are close to 50% male and 50% female.  An interesting facet is that most of the followers are from Mexico rather than Oceanside and the north coastal San Diego area.  This is curious and will be noted to focus on the local community with our content and future advertisements. 2.  Posts: The number of our viewers  online beginning at 6AM PDT, steady throughout the day and tapering off at 9PM PDT.  The days of the week graph indicate that the viewership hover...
