Week 3 Part 2



Week3 Part2
I commented on Wojcik_Michele, Particelli_Blair, Brock_Stacy blogs.

1)Adorama (photography store)
https://www.adorama.com/
Facebook- 15min., Twitter- 45min, Google+- 35weeks, YouTube-vast video upload 3 hours but they have channels that are constant, Pinterest- can’t tell but there’s a lot on there, and Instagram- 3hours
I found out about this company though social media and they have a huge following. They are a company that have reviews on photography products and videos that can educate people on photography and they sell and rent many different products. They use social media to educate and spread information and draw in customers and they use their website to sell their products. I feel they are utilizing social media very well and that is a major reason the business is so popular in the photography world.

2) B&H
https://www.bhphotovideo.com/
Facebook- 3hours, Twitter- 28min., Instagram-21hours, YouTube- 20hours, Tumbler- 4hours,
Soundcloud podcast- 4days, Snapchat- unknown, Google+- 4hours
B&H is similar to Adorama but they sell more products on their website but they give reviews and tutorials on their social media and gain their large customer base from social media. I feel they are continually updating their social media with information so I feel they are defiantly utilizing it very well.

3) Canon camera
https://www.usa.canon.com/internet/portal/us/home
Twitter- 4hours, Facebook- 4min., YouTube- 6mounths, Instagram- 54min., LinkedIn
Canon sells cameras, lenses, printers, and other items. On their social media they give tutorials and information about their products. They post a lot and have many ways for customers to give reviews and send comments so I believe they are using social media well.

4) Epson
https://epson.com/usa
Facebook- 22hours, Twitter- 6hours, You Tube- 3months, Instagram- 23hours, Google+- 46weeks, LinkedIn
Epson sells printers and printer ink. They use social media to promote their products and sales. They use social media heavily and I think they promote their business well.
5) National Geographic
Facebook- 27min., Twitter- 32min., Instagram- 1hour
National Geographic is a worldwide publication that is the dream job for many photographers. They use social media to primarily spread information to their audience. They are very popular but they still use their social media to spread info and gain more audience.

I feel that collectively everyone uses Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. These seem like the most easily used and best way to get as many viewers as possible. I didn’t realize how many company’s use YouTube so that’s something I want to research further. I believe it is very smart to constantly post on social to gain and keep an online following.

Week 11: Email Marketing - Part 1

Part 1 I definitely think depending on what business you have newsletters can always a good idea. They keep the customers and audience involved and connected to the business and in some cases can be a friendly reminder. They are a great way to give new information or inform the customers of a promotion going on or give coupons. Newsletters can be somewhat annoying though because sometimes there isn't important information on them and they just get thrown away. I believe that whatever your intent or goal is with the newsletter, it needs to be direct and concise and also get the attention of the person that's receiving it and make them have a reason to hold on to it. For me as a photographer I would plan on doing either a once a month or once every 3 months. I would probably have some sort of coupon or promotion going on and also share some new events or information that has happened in between newsletters. They would be beneficial for my business to remind the customers an

Week1A: My Template

I chose to use this template because I am a nature photographer and I feel like this was the best template that represented me. I love the blue and black colors together and feel it is a powerful dominate color pallet that shows I am a strong professional. As a nature photographer, I like the tree image in the template. The colors in the image mach the rest of the template very well. I enjoy going on hikes and photographing trees and nature. I feel by using this template my posts will be able to be easily accessible and laid out in a very clean and organized manner so that my readers can navigate my blog easily.

Week 2: Overview of Social Media My belief is every social media excluding some websites have primarily been made for personal uses but most of them have evolved to be personal, businesses, and many more uses. They are designed to help accommodate the human species in a modern and technological world. There are endless social media platforms for personal and business use including Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn,Tumbler, Pinterest, Behance, Etsy, etc. Tumbler and Pinterest seem to me like the most used for personal use. The majority of people on those forums are just posting all the things they like. I follow a lot of photographers and nerdy things on Tumbler and Pinterest and it is all just people posting what they like or want and is is rarely used to sell anything or even to promote any business.  I feel Facebook is the most useful social media platform for businesses to promote themselves. As a photographer I feel Instagram is the best social media platform to use t
