Week 15 Part B: Building Out Your Strategy

For the next few months I plan to utilize several avenues of marketing. These avenues include Instagram, Facebook and e-newsletters. I also plan to use LinkedIn, but this is more just for my own personal use of finding information, not for marketing.

Facebook/Instagram

  • Every Thursday + Sunday: setup scheduled daily posts to occur each morning around 10am and then around 6pm on Wednesdays to remind people to come to the Farmers Market on Thursday morning. 
  • Post on stories daily with tagged posts from customers.
  • Check engagement every 3 days.
  • Adjust accordingly 
  • Paid ads will be used in future months to come
E-newsletters
  • Create a bi-weekly newsletter on Tuesdays to keep customers up to date with what's happening at my company.
  • Increase to weekly once website is established.

Of course you want to get to the underlying point, which is "Buy my product or service." which I really don't think you can be successful at wi...

Week 10, Part A Researching Email Marketing

For my cookie company I would send newsletters weekly to keep my subscribers informed about the specific locations we will be selling. I currently do not have a typical "brick and mortar" location so I sell in different locations, such as at Farmer's Markets, on the military base, and at the Fashion Valley Mall. Providing a weekly newsletter with that information along with any other relevant information would be my ideal frequency.  Of course, upon subscribing I would send out a Welcome newsletter to thank them for subscribing and offer them a special deal as a thank you. I also like the idea of sending out birthday newsletters yearly to give out a free bag of cookies. I think it's incredibly important to build a relationship with each subscriber so that they trust me and my company and continue to come back. Showing appreciation to each customer and keeping them informed is a great way to do this.  It seems like I am signed up for thousands of newsletters, they pile...
