Week 5 Post 1

Set Two
Hungry Bear
Subway

While both of these businesses are clearly sub shops, there are a few distinguishing factors. The Hungry Bear is obviously "American" food. It is targeting Californians (I gather this from the bear theme), families in general, families with young children, and even the older generation who would resonate with the theme or the nostalgia of the classic American feel. Subway is more a of generic sub shop that, while is speaks to families, it is not speaking to a general area. It also does not appeal to the classic American feel. There is cross over between the two based on them both appealing to families and also appealing to those who like sandwiches.

Week 3A - Communication: Business & Consumer

The only time I have experienced difficulty communicating with a business was when I had an issue with GroupOn. One of my products said it shipped to a completely different city (it was something I purchased for a friend). My friend was out of town at the time the item was delivered so I was unable to figure out if it made it or not. I was able to, through the app, get a refund eventually. I have seen social media make it easier for others to reach companies. I have never personally tried it. My experience is neither positive or negative since I haven't done it. If I had a business on social media, I would respond to positive comments with acknowledgment and appreciation. I would respond to negative comments by being apologetic and working to solve the issue. I would probably try to bring the negative commenter to direct messages, though.

Week 7 Post 1

Here is a visual of my scheduled posts. The first scheduled post is centered around announcing the grand opening. This post is mostly intended to let people know that we are here and beginning the foundation building process. I also chose to follow that by a play off of the seasons. Summer just ended and we are going into fall, but many miss the uplifting brightness of Summer. I used that as a selling point, then topped it off with a free item offer with purchase of a particular item. Lastly, I implemented Free Shipping Fridays. I think this will help to build brand loyalty and returning customers.
