Week 12 Post 2

With researching, Yelp could help my business because clients could review my design work for future clients to see. It would also let people know about the performance of my company and design work. I often look at Yelp reviews when I am personally searching for a new company to use so I know Yelp makes an impact. Linked In could also make an impact for my business because there are interior design groups. Many professionals go to Linked In to find employees and businesses. It's a great place for clients who feel that maybe Linked In provides more real reviews versus Yelp. I would use both Yelp and Linked In because future clients will want to read reviews from any source possible before making a decision. 

Week 11 Post 2

I commented on Michelle Jordan's, Susan Sullivan's, and Kendra Meeder's blog. All were very interesting to read and I enjoyed seeing their ideas for their newsletters. 

Week 11 Post 1

For my interior design business, I think a monthly newsletter would be best for my customers. It would allow them to see pictures of different designs done, read about our projects, and learn about team updates. Monthly would work greatly to also give different tips on designing, renovating, planning a reno, and how to choose what style would be best for a room or home. The newsletter would also give let readers new design trends. I would also include houses that are on the market with the realtors that my business is partnered with and homes that I have worked on. I believe viewers would enjoy seeing all this in a newsletter because it will provide them everything that is involved in interior design. They will know step by step how to go from planning to design a home to adding the final touches to the home. My customers will also enjoy the newsletter because they will be able to stay connected to my business and see what's happening monthly in the business. It's a good way to

Week 10 Post 2

The categories that I would use on my blog to organize it better would be categories of personal and business related. I would have a section for personal blogs where my target audience could have the opportunity to get to know me more, see what my interests are, and read about my preferences on different topics. I would do a business related category as well where I blog only about my business and what it has to offer. This would keep my target audience up to date with projects and different works being done. I would also do different blogs on how they can design rooms and improve their designing skills with tricks that I know. This category would also keep the blog professional so that my target audience takes my blog seriously. I think these would help my blog grow since I offer both categories to my target audience. People love relating to others and feeling a connection which is exactly what my personal category would do. The business category would allow my target audience to see

Week 10 Post 1

After reading both readings and lectures, adding personal touches really depends on the business or what the blog is addressing. If you're the face of your brand then adding personal touches would allow readers to get to know you more and make them want to read your blogs more to know your opinions on different topics and products. You also gain trust with your audience when emotions are put into blogs. I believe that if someone is discussing their business and what it has to offer then the blogger should be straight forward with facts. If the business is a clothing store and the blogger is discussing what it has to offer then adding emotions is fine since it'll give readers a sense of what to expect from the clothing, sizings, and material. 

Week 9 Twitter

The search word I used was interior and design to find some of my connections. The top pages came up, such as Luxe Magazine and Mary McDonald. I didn't have to play around too much since I knew who I wanted to follow and since the pages showed up with the search words that I used. I created a list named Inspiration because there are so many great profiles that post pictures of interior designs and I want to add those profiles to my list for in the future I want ideas, I can review that list. I also made a designer list because I want to have quick access to my favorite designers. I thought this was smart so that I could quickly access either pictures to help me with projects or designers where I can review there look and see what they have to say about their life/work. I think creating a list is helpful with staying organized because it allows users to categorize their interests and its available in one spot that is easy to find. I think in the morning and evening is when my c
