Week 7: Engaging Your Facebook Customers


Here is a list of the business I chose to "like" from my business page.


1.) Arrangements Floral & Party Designs
This seemed like an obvious choice given that my business is geared toward floral arrangements. This could be a business I do work with or a business competitor that I can monitor or draw inspiration or ideas from.

2.) Pacific Event Productions
I chose this business because as a floral design company, I think working closely with party or event production companies could be beneficial in promoting my business.

3.) Details Darling
This is a wedding planning company that seems to be pretty popular on Facebook. I chose to like them because it could be a potential business partnership or somewhere I could draw ideas from.

4.) Floral Design Magazine
This magazine features various floral arrangement designs.

5.) Evergreen Nursery
Since most of my customers are likely to be women, I thought following a flower nursery would be a good idea.

6.) Flower Magazine
This seems to be the most popular flower, gardening and home magazine out there for floral ideas. This offers all the trendy, popular and newest information when it comes to floral design.

7.) Home, Garden & DIY
Floral arrangements can be created by a business or by yourself at home. I thought this would be a good page to follow to keep track of what customers find interesting as it pertains to design in the home.

I can easily see how this feature on Facebook can help grow one's business. It's easy to keep track of what your customers are engaging with, what they like from potential competitors and what they truly like.

Week 2A: Overview of Social Media

I want to preface this blog post by saying that I only use, at most, four social media platforms. They include Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and occasionally LinkedIn. Therefore, my responses below will focus on my experiences with these specific social media sites. The social media platforms geared toward personal use seem to be Instagram and Facebook. Instagram allows its users to post an infinite number of pictures that can be shared with friends and therefore liked by people. In my opinion, the app is sort of a window into people's personal lives through pictures. Of course, the user is only allowing you to see what they want you to see but nonetheless, I believe Instagram is becoming just as popular, if not more popular than Facebook simply because it's so visual. That being said, there's a reason why Facebook has one billion users. You can share photos, update your "status", share information and news, directly message with people and can be subjected to

Week 3A: Communication Between Business & Customer

The whole point of Chapter 1 in Likeable Social Media was the fact that listening plays a HUGE role in how effective social media can be for businesses and brands. The book brought up some interesting points that seem so obvious yet are forgotten so easily. Personally, I cant recall a specific instance where I've had extreme difficulty communicating with a particular business. At least, not to the point where I've felt that I've ever needed to vent on social media. More times that not, I can resolve whatever issue I'm having over the phone, but after reading how social media can help, it's definitely something I'll keep in mind moving forward. Speaking from personal experience, I've never used social media to get an issue resolved. I think making a public statement about a problem or concern with a particular brand or product will get you noticed, but I think it's up the to company and how well they are "listening" as to whether or not the

Week1A: My Template Choice

Hello Friends, First, I'd like to start by saying welcome to my new blog! I've never had a blog to share my ideas or thoughts but I look forward to learning more about how blogging works and its benefits! I suppose I should start with how I came to choose my title. My last name, McMackin, has always been a little different and most people remember it because it's unusual and also sounds kind of funny. I wanted to keep it simple and since this is a social media course, I figured "McMackin Media" would work. Also, I'm a big fan of alliteration! When it came to choosing a template, I wanted something simple but inviting. I think color scheme and text have a lot to do with that. For example, I chose a contemporary layout that included images of birds of paradise and had, what I think to be, warm colors. If anyone is going to read a blog, I think it should be a space that's easy to navigate for the reader but also conveys a sense of welcoming. I'm les
