As I think about this project and try to brainstorm some ideas as to what i would like to promote, I get very excited and surprisingly cant wait to get started on this project as it will be on something of my choice, something I absolutely love and something that can be extremely fun. My first and favorite choice is going to have to be CrossFit. Crossfit is a very competitive sport that involves lifting weights and a cardio/ lifting workout afterwards. I have been doing CrossFit for over 6 years now and I am OBSESSED with it and I try to better myself each and everyday. I would love to be an inspiration to people to maybe want to start something like this or even just workout and eat healthy. The two social media tools that I think will …show more content…
Maybe set up an online store to raise money for the fallen heroes that recently passed in a helicopter crash in Iraq, that I actually had the honor to be from the same base and serve along side them. Two social media tools that I believe will best promote this store is definitely Facebook and Twitter. My goal for this idea would definitely be to raise as much money for these fallen airmen as they had just recently left their families behind, some of them had little babies and if I can make a difference in these families lives, it would be to raise money so these kids are supported for a long time. Twitter and Facebook would be a big help because again, these posts can be retweeted, shared, commented on and can easily have links for people to click on to be able to donate or spread the word. In the article, “Spotlight on community policing: The benefits of social media”, the main purpose in this article is the impact social media has on police officers and really the way they make headlines. “Additionally, social media as a communications tool has been proven to work very well, as noted in a recent report which found that of those surveyed by IACP in 2015, "83.5 percent of agencies state that social media has improved police-community relations in their jurisdiction.” (Spotlight on community policing: The benefits of social media 2016). This just shows that if i did open up a fundraising store, word could easily get out with all the social media and the percentage of people using them. Another article i found that is similar to my idea here is “A CLASSIC AMERICAN DEPARTMENT STORE'S RESURGENCE TO GLORY: USING SOCIAL MEDIA AND ONLINE ADVERTISING STRATEGIES TO GENERATE REVENUE”, which talks about how retailers strategize how they promote their stores in an online environment and how to improve their revenue. “JCPenney was highly successful with its Facebook page,
By having social media presence, the NPO can engage, connect, drive traffic and can extended their public relations. For example, “The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is only one example of many fruitful online campaigns. As opposed to traditional means of advertising such as television, radio, and print ads, social media is a great and affordable way to run a marketing campaign that has potential for wide reach. To facilitate and maximize your social media campaign, consider using a social media management tool.”(Manoverboard, 2014, Retrieve: http://manoverboard.com/top-5-reasons-why-non-profits-should-use-social-media/). With these in place Disabled American Veterans Charitable Service Trust can create an online campaign to attract funding to its cause. The military service men and women are one, a family, if Disabled American Veterans Charitable Service Trust is able to kick start an online campaign that goes viral great things can happen. “Over $70 million dollars has been donated to the ALS association to date, a colossal hike from the $2.5 million that was donated during the same time period last year.” (Manoverboard, 2014, Retrieve:
Today’s society is at a cross-roads and I am attempting to create a platform for positivity. Starting in June, we will be selling handmade tie-dye tee’s and a portion of every product will go to the awareness campaign. Things environmental park/town cleanups, planting tree’s for areas in need, get-outside campaign days and a coverage of culture, traditions, religions and people around the world. What you may not know about me is that I am a dual-citizen of both the U.S and the U.K and I have already done 2 solo trips to europe, part of my business will be traveling around the world and documenting both by video and online blog, the “unknown regions” to many people and once again re-igniting the need for that respect. We will also be making an effort to open Cornucopia Environmental Clubs on several college campuses. All of this will be done through collaborative efforts with other students, businesses and interested individuals who share the same drive and ideas as we do. I will starting all of this while working at camp, and will be starting my 2 year online degree in
Over the past few months, but especially in recent days with the inauguration of president elect Donald J. Trump rapidly approaching, many of us students have begun to question our safety and our leadership’s concern for our safety on this campus, as have our families back home. When individuals no longer feel a sense of personal safety, academics and academic performance can no longer be a priority. Discrimination based on bias can escalate beyond rhetoric and into acts of violence. History has proven to be a solid reference.
Two companies I believe have demonstrated their marketing ability using social media are Target and JC Penney. Both companies have struggled to keep up with the changing demands of consumers but have recently made impressive changes to encourage customer satisfaction. For example, Target has introduced new brands and JC Penney offers rewards points for shopping. Both stores offer a convenient app that allows users to find coupons for their purchases.
While growing up I was enrolled in three different schools during High School. Freshman year I was enrolled in Lockhart, TX. I made some really good friends there. Sophomore Year my family and I moved back to Yoakum, TX. I was pretty much raised in Yoakum I have friends from kindergarten in that town. My godson lives in Yoakum. Before the end of Sophomore year, we moved to good ole Huntsville, TX. My fiancé and his family are from towns surrounding Huntsville. If it were not for social media, like Facebook, I would not be able to keep up with half the people I know.
Businesses with an Internet online site or advertisement must be careful to make sure that securities laws and guidelines are not being broken. This is mainly for company websites and posts but it also means that employees need to be careful about what they say in posts on social media. For example, the CEO of Whole Foods made a collection of message board postings under a false name and talked down his company’s competition: Wild Oats. When Whole Foods later bought the company Wild Oats, the SEC studied the postings. This was done to find out if there had been any illegal tries to affect Wild Oat’s stock price. While the SEC ultimately took no action against the poster or Whole Foods, this event shows how careful companies and their employees
Social Media is making our world better—so we think anyways. Isabel Evans, a Crimson editorial writer, wrote an article explaining how social media is overwhelming our society. When intended to be a luxury, society uses social media as a necessity. Being on our phones has become a necessity in waiting rooms, lines, and when in other public areas. Social media has also corrupted our minds to think more about selfish things instead of others. Evans uses personal background to portray her relation with social media and the effects from it. Although social media is here for our advantage, Evans explains that it has increased egotistic attitudes throughout the population.
Besides the three dominant social platforms, I would advise 62milliongirls campaign considering invest more resources on Snapchat. Snapchat is considered as one of the most fast growing social media platforms in the trend. As Snapchat states, “over 150 million people use Snapchat every day to Snap with family…Snapchatters watch over 10 billion videos per day, which is more than a 350% increase in the last year alone.” (Snapchat, 2017) The campaign can employ Snapchat as a platform to promote engagement from the public given its insane popularity. Specifically, the campaign can further exploit Snapchat’s popular storytelling feature to dissimilate stories and experiences among users. Snapchat provides a medium for every user worked as a citizen journalist to showcase different angles of the campaign, record key events, and share personal experiences; it allows the campaign to present its content in a most lively way. For example, people can choose to add geo-filter while they are presenting to show their physical location. And the campaign
* Utilize social media such as Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to share videos of athletes, spark conversation and increase shares
At what point do you start to silence yourself around people? Is it what they say and do, or is it more specifically the person that performed the action? Can you imagine people you hold in high esteem making you feel othered? Then you realize the connection you thought you had with them was really just an elaborate daydream and the signs of their true character were there from the beginning. For me, this moment feels like the floor being ripped from under me, and as I freefall into the black abyss below, all of my senses except my vision stop working. I can’t hear the air whistling past me; I can’t shout for help. My body even refuses to breathe as if the air is now tainted with the vile words spoken in the space, and I refuse to take them
Considering that "69% of U.S. adults use social media sites" (pg. 396) I would promote our line of barbecue grills in Facebook, twitter, Instagram, and pinterest, and YouTube. I would also create a blog where we would talk about each barbecue grill line, we would compare them, talk about what each line features and help costumers understand which barbecue better suits their needs. Once the social media community is created we can expect different stories and insights to be shared between costumers. From these communities we would be able to answer questions directly through comments, or post links to our website where customers can directly get help with the subject needed.
I learned to make use of the digital media for the purpose of marketing. Teamwork has always been an easy task. Working in a team has not only proven to be beneficial to our organization but also helped in maintaining good relations with the peers. I have also worked for an NGO, OYE-Organisation for Youth and Elderly, as a social media volunteer for 5 months and have been actively promoting their events. As a social media volunteer, I gained deeper knowledge in social media marketing and challenges a social media marketer face.
With the growing use of social media and discussion boards in sports, it has given fans a platform to feel more involved in games and direction of their school’s program. With these outlets at the tip of every sports fans fingertip, the “voice” of the fan has become louder. With the use of these platforms for fans to voice their opinions, the questions that are garnered are “who are these so called experts” and “how can they justify what they are posting”? As I began to read through the discussion bards and posts form the Phog “Hoops talk” and BlueDevil Digest “Duke BB Forum” on the game between KU and Duke, it becomes apparent that most of the fans that’s post is very much bias and over critical. Through analysis on
In recent years, many scholars have begun recognizing the importance of social media and the Internet in politics, particularly an increase of political involvement by social media users. (Ancu & Cozma, 2009). Historically the Internet first became involved in the political arena in 1996 with the election between Bill Clinton and Bob Dole. (Trammell, 2007) Each election since has seen an increase in candidate participation on Internet forums and social media websites. In a political campaign, the Internet and social media provide ways to release information to the masses and connect further with their voters. It also allows voters to share their political views with friends, express support for specific candidates, and share campaign material
I sit at the restaurant table with my friends, not a word being spoken nor any noise being made. Drawn to their screens, silence consumes each and every person at the table. I watch my friends’ faces glued to their phones, too interested in Snapchat or Instagram or Facebook or Twitter to talk to each other in real life. The waiter approaches our table: “Can I get anyone anything to drink?” he asks. Not a sound. The waiter clears his throat, and asks again, “I’m sorry to interrupt, but can I get anyone any beverages to start?” This time, the table stirs and most of the people at the table peer upwards to find our waiter patiently awaiting their responses. “I’ll just stick with the water,” I reply, as the rest of my friends order their drinks. They all then proceed to resume to their original positions: necks craned downwards, eyes gazing straight, arms resting on the table, three fingers placed behind the phone, the pinky at the bottom for support, and the thumb to scroll. It is at this moment that I realize social media has ruined everything.
