Week 11B: Using Other Social Media Tools

After looking at groupon and living social, I think groupon would help my business. I would set up good deals with my customers to keep them longer and to get word spread around.  This could help a small business grow. I have not set up a yelp account but this app is a must for a business. Customers can review your business which goes up to a 5 star rating. If your company has a bad rating and negative reviews you can always improve it based on the feedback.

Week 11A: Social Media Tools

On the net, there are hundreds of social media tools to choose from but I will only list a few.

Yelp - with this tool people can review your business and this is useful because you want to have good ratings to get more customers and your business could end up on top recommendations on yelp.

Google maps - not really sure why this is a social media app, its only good for finding locations.

Living social media- this tool can be handy because you can show the customer which deals to opt in on your products

Linkedin - I have used this site before and its only good for job searching, nonthing else.

Week 10A: Email Marketing

For a business, I think newsletters are very important. They can give your business the opportunity to increase awareness and understanding of your services and products to the customers. You can put valuable information such as events or even promote products or new ones. On my newsletter I would put what kind of repairs I do and the cost of them. I would probably send them out weekly just to keep people updated constantly. 

Week 9B: Categories

Im not really sure what categories I would use but to get more customers, I would put a virus on my site or something that infect the users pc which would make it run slow and they would have to contact my business  to get it fix and I would make more money this way. I guess this can go in the scamming category which a lot of business do because they don’t care about their customers.

Week 8B: Twitter

I did two searches with the words computer repair and pc repair and Computer repair Glos and ComputerRepairNC popped up on my first search, so I followed them and added both pages to my list. On my second search I found PC Repair Augusta, PC Repair Center and another page similar.  I created two list, one named computer repair and the other pc repair and I only did it because it’s part of my assignment and I want my points. I think creating a twitter list helps you stay organized because you can put your followers on it and it keeps track of all them.

Week 7B

  The first business that is like mine is daniellespcrepairs, they have 173 likes and they post everyday but only a few of them get likes so there not really well know. They have 10 reviews and there all positive. They also have an official website http://www.daniellespcrepairs.com/. I’m not sure how many followers they have but it’s probably not that many.

   Polytechnic Pc Repairs has 206 Facebook likes and they only have a few post which get around 10-14 likes so I guess their new. They have 3 five star reviews with no description which I find strange. They don’t seem to have any other social media then Facebook.

   Geek squad, has only 36,000 likes on Facebook, I was expecting more since their well know. They post everyday which get around 10 likes and a few comments on them. All their reviews seem bad and on twitter they have 23.7k followers and 107 likes. They also have a YouTube and Instagram. 

Week 7A: Get Visual

After looking at the 8 most widely used visual networks (twitter,google+,linkdin,ect). I think they all would work great for my business, but I decided to pick YouTube since I already had an account for it. With YouTube I can upload videos on pc troubleshooting and other stuff which may lead to more viewers for my Facebook business.
