Week 1B: Blogs that I Commented on

-
This week I commented on three blogs so far.  Gustavo Molina, Justin Rivera, and John Giger are the blogs I commented on.  Each had their own influence on how to choose their templates.  I had my own influence which tells me that we are all different in our thinking when choosing our preferences.

Week 11: Email Marketing

-
My business Mill Works makes signs and displays for businesses, so my emails and newsletters will consist of topics that relate to businesses, branding, logos and signs that they may be interested in.  Other topics will consist of tips and suggestions for displaying signs, and ideas they can do with their logos and branding items.  Others will be special promotions or discounts, special announcement or news that I may have.  I would send newsletters and emails about once every 2 weeks.  While Mill Works produces custom products and not products that are frequently needed, I would also not send emails frequently as to be too bothersome.  I want to provide quality content to my customers and keep items coming in as good content comes available that provides useful information.   Possible ideas I think my customers would enjoy seeing are: Tips for hanging signage Places to hang signage Why Signage still matters Show your logo proudly Required sign...

Week 1A: My First Social Media Class Post

-
Hi I'm Mark Buxton and this is my first blog post here.  Nothing fancy just a place to type my thoughts and assignments.  I chose this template because it is simple and clean, and I like the left hand box that contains the title.  I plan to add some imagery, but I think keeping it simple provides less distraction for the reader.  I am taking this class to further my knowledge of the uses of social media to promote and market my business that I would like start in the near future.  All my work in my business is clean, simple and similar to the theme I chose here.
