Week 2 Part 2

It's funny because when I was trying to write this paper I was struggling to explain what platform is good for personal use. More specifically I found a hard time explaining why these platforms were better for personal use. It's easier for me to find reasons for businesses to use specific social media platforms, so it was nice reading your paper and remembering why social media platforms are considered social (haha). Nice post.

As a platform I have never used I didn't even think about Snapchat. But knowing what I know about you, you explained it very well. Honestly, snapchat potentially seems like the worst platform for businesses. Good post!

I like how you mentioned social media managers and how they have changed what customer service means from their stereotype of being hilarious! Do you think you've come across any business instagrams that do a great job at being the brand without directly doing sponsored ads with influencers? Nice post!

I believe when it comes to personal and business every social media platform has useful tools for different needs. Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook all have features that allow consumers to reach the businesses  Regarding personal use, I think all social media platforms are made to be used for personal use and all platforms focuses on a different aspect of life for people to share. I want to consider what platform is geared better towards person use in terms of businesses and consumers. I believe twitter is the most satisfactory way for consumers to be heard and considered by businesses. Twitter allows consumers to start a dialogue directly with businesses and is the best platform to expect a response. Personally, I believe Instagram is a good platform for individuals to post to business in hopes of a 'like' or a 'shoutout'; however, in terms of being a platform for problem solving, Instagram doesn't fulfill that requirement. It is easier to consider what

While browsing templates, I struggled to find one that spoke to me. I made a list and prioritized the things I wanted. I wanted a clean design and I wanted the colors to speak to me. To help me decide what colors to use, I decided to go through my photos for inspiration. I found a photo I took and created a color story from the photo. I pulled dark greens form the greenhouse, light grays from the gravel, and used a shade of brown for highlight. Throughout my blog I used a few variations of greens to try and provide a little depth. Next, to help create a clean design, I decided to focus on the font. I wanted all my fonts to reflect the same style with slight variation to highlight levels of importance. I have always been a fan of the high contrast of Didot. Limited by the fonts Blogspot provides, I simply varied the fonts by bolding titles and paired Didot with another serif font. Didot is a modern font that creates a sleek and streamlined look. Fun fact, Didot is popular in the f

I think for Solid Gold, a monthly newsletter would be the best fit. I believe anything to frequent would be overkill. Between change of seasons, holidays, and trends I think there could enough information to send out a monthly or even bi-monthly newsletter. I think Solid Gold could use relevant data in their email, sharing the growth of social media, the relationships they have with businesses, and share stories of success working within Solid Gold. I also believe giving hints to forecasted trends would beneficial information to share in a newsletter. I believe the format and appearance of a newsletter for Solid Gold would carry a lot of weight. As a company that is always thinking ahead and is there to help businesses get ahead, it would need to be apparent that Solid Gold understands trends and style.
