Reading Review #3


The Art of Social Media

1) What was the general theme or argument of the book?
The theme of this book is to teach the readers strategies to enhance their social media techniques. It discusses how to effectively use your social media accounts and how each one is different and beneficial in their own way. It gives tips on how to create content and how often you should post. There is also advice on gaining more followers and really managing your social platforms. 
2) How did the book, in your opinion, connect with and enhance what you are learning in ENT 3003?
This book really connects with and enhances what we have learned in this course because with any business you have to have social media accounts nowadays. Social media gives business owners the opportunity to connect with people all over the world at the tip of their fingers. Knowing how to effectively use social media will only make your business more successful. 
3) If you had to design an exercise for this class, based on the book you read, what would that exercise involve?
If I had to design an exercise for this class based on the book I would have people plan out social media posts. One of the most important parts of social media is having content!! By planning out your content every week, two weeks or even a month in advance, then you will not fall behind with your posting. By teaching people how to plan their content it will help them understand why content prep is so important. 
4) What was your biggest surprise or 'aha' moment when reading the book? In other words, what did you learn that differed most from your expectations?
I would say that my biggest "aha" moment was just realizing how much time has to go into social media when you are using it for a business. As an artist, I need to use social media every single day to continue engaging with my followers and finding new fans. Reading this book has really helped me and given me some great ideas for what I should do to continue growing my different social media accounts.

    Brooke,
    I also read this book for the second reading review. I love the exercise you planned for this class. I completely agree that it can be difficult to post in the moment, it's definitely very easy to forget. I know as a student leader it was always very difficult for me to plan out my posts for the organization.

    Brooke,
    I agree with your statement on how the book and our class connect because most successful businesses have a social media presence in today's business world. Social media is very important for businesses because it's a way for them to respond to their customers quickly and a great way for customers to find out about the business. That's very smart of you to use social media to grow your music and get your brand out there.

    Hi Brooke! I actually think I read the same book as you. I definitely agree with the assignment portion of your piece, especially over a semester making different posts consistently is great practice for future social media marketing. This class actually does in a way do that it's helped us to express ourselves more in a strict schedule similar to that of social media.

    Hi Brooke
    I agree with the statement you made about how the book and this ENT 3003 are correlated, knowing how to properly use social made as a tool will help make the business more successful. It’s a good idea to have content already designed by week or up to a month in advance to prevent students from falling behind

Exit Strategy

1) Identify the exit strategy you plan to make. Do you intend to sell your business in the next 5 years for a large return? Do you intend to stay with the business for several decades and retire? Do you intend to protect the venture as a family business, and pass it down to your children? The exit strategy that I plan to make for this particular product I have created would be to sell it and use that profit to start another business. I love that the options of creating and helping people is never ending. I would love to use my profit, experience and new knowledge to help me start another entrepreneurship endeavor.   2) Why have you selected this particular exit strategy? I selected this exit strategy because I believe that I would feel fulfilled with the business knowing that I got it to the level that it did and now I can use my profit to start another business that I am even more passionate about.  3) How do you think your exit strategy has influenced the oth...

What's Next

Existing Market.  I think that as the brand launches and we begin to evaluate the progress of the product, then changes will be made accordingly. If we want to create new features then that will be able to be added to the app for an easy solution. I talked to Matt who said he loves the idea because he already has a smart watch so it would be easy to use once the thermostat is installed. He thinks it is a unique idea and said that in the future we could consider adding features such as a speaking aspect like how people can ask Alexa to do things through a speaker. So a possibility could be adding a voice feature for people to tell the Arm Stat what to change the temperature to. I interviewed a girl named Kaitlyn and I told her about how I would love to get on Shark tank and she thought this would be a great way to gain exposure if I was accepted on the show. She didn’t have other ideas on how to expand the product. And my third interviewee, Sam, said he wo...

Buyer Behavior Pt. 2

I have focused my interviews on people who like to have the newest and most innovative technology. My first interviewee, Tim, told me when he is picking a product he does look at the quality and price. Since he is an engineer he likes to know he is buying a high quality product that is worth the price he is paying. My second interviewee, Carlie, said she cares a lot about the style of the product and the price. If she is going to be spending a higher amount of money on the product she wants to make sure it looks good and will catch attention. My third interviewee, Dominick, cares most about the quality and the price of the product. He does not want to finance a product but does like having new technology. The common alternative from all of my interviewees was price. They all would be willing to pay whatever price as long as it looked good or was good quality. Tim and Dominick were most likely going to purchase a product if they could pay for the whole thing righ...
