Week 15B: Analyzing Facebook Data

-
After looking at my Facebook page Insights Data, I have to get familiar with the terminology and the significance of each activity name.  After some time I assume my familiarity will grow and the usefulness of each.  Looking through just the last week I can see some activity with a few page views, a reach of 5 and 35 post engagements which has gone down 85% since the following week.  This engagement looks like it went down because I did not have any posts this week.  I have 1 more page follower which is up 100%.

Looking over the last 28 days looking back on all the data, it is obvious that when posts are made, that's when the engagement spikes up.  The biggest spike was on May 7th with my last post of 15% off of any custom logo sign.  It seems that this creates more interaction, although the reach is lower, the engagement and post clicks can be higher.  One post had high reach, but no clicks or reactions, and the lowest reach for the 15% off had higher engagements.  

Another feature is the geographic, age and gender information.  I do not see that on mine, but on the Aztec insights, this looks like valuable information on who, and where the reach is getting to.  I find that this will be valuable for my business to see if my focus on my target markets are reaching the desired targets and who is responding.

I will continue to monitor my insights, and get more familiar with each term and how that will relate to my business.  I will need to interpret the data based on my posts and when and what I post.

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.

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 signs to have for your business

Week 2A: Social Media for Business or Personal Use

-
Many social media platforms today can be used for both personal and business use.  As a casual user of some social media outlets such as Facebook, Pinterest and YouTube, I am somewhat conditioned to think of these tools only for personal use.  But lately I have been noticing how businesses use these platforms as well.  Naturally I think of Facebook, Pinterest,YouTube and even unfamiliar sites such as Instagram, Twitter and Google + as places where friends and family hang out to share pictures and political junk.  While I learn more about the business uses, some of these seem a bit more geared towards personal use.  However, I see them as critical tools for both personal and business alike.   The social media platforms I think are more for personal use, or at least they originally were designed for that purpose are Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram.  From its roots, Facebook to me always seemed like a place to share personal things with others.  Pinterest has given me the impression
