Week 4A Set 2:Deli's/Chilies

On the chilies website, they use limited time offers and a lot of food pictures to attract customers. Their call to action is a reward programs which you can get free points for just signing up and free deserts on your birthday. I kind of want to go down their now because the free food looks good.


The yellow deli looked very unappealing to me. On the front page they have all the locations of their restaurants and the links at the top on the page were really hard to read. They also have all these unnecessary links such as music, videos, news. If I’m a customer I want to know what you are serving, I don’t need to know anything about the restaurant history or music. The food menu even looks bad, it’s handwritten with no pictures, I think customers would want to know what the food looks like before they order it.  I’m not really sure what their call to action is but I would never go down there.

Week 2 - Communication: Business & Consumer

Have you ever experienced difficulty communicating with a business? 

I have never used social media to communicate with a business. I always go directly to their website when I need help with their products or when I want to purchase something. They always have their contact info such as their phone number, email and company location on their web site and I never had issues with communication.

Does social media make it easier to get noticed or get your problem solved?  

I think social media can make it easier to get your problems solved because your opinion can be seen by hundreds or even thousands and people can join you thus making your opinion very strong. 

If it was your own business on social media, how would you respond to positive or negative comments?

If I had my own business, I would just let one of my employees take care of the bad comments because I wouldn't feel like doing anything.

Week 1B: Social Media platforms

I think facebook is geared towards personal use. you can create groups for anything and organize events to meet with people which is how I met new people before. everyone I know uses this site, even my grandma uses it and shes like 90 years old.

I see twitter and youtube work really well for business. youtube has this feature where they put ads on videos which advertise a company's product, games, movies, ect and most of these videos have millions of views!! twitter on the other hand has a retweet feature which allows users to repost comments with just a click of a button and this makes it very easy to communicate within your circle.

Week 1A:Template

Hello and welcome to my blog

I choose this template because I think it stands out really well and it is not so bland. I like the colors a lot because they fit with the background image which is custom.  I also like the layout because it makes it easy to navigate and its transparent. I also decided to use the name sam touga because it is a name I have always been using on the net.
