Branding: A Day in the Life

Hey Everyone!
Welcome to my SNHU Blog!

Digital media is something that I use just about every day. I have an Instagram account for my photography as well as a private account. The same goes for Facebook. I also have a SnapChat and LinkedIn. The platform I most visit is IG followed closely by FB. There are just certain things that I get out of both platforms especially when it comes to my photography(@seeley_photography) which performs much better on IG than FB. I am familiar with many other digital platforms but these are the most used on a daily basis.

I do some social media marketing on the side for a client which has definitely help mold both my positive and negative reactions to certain things. For example, I wish there was more customization available for a business page and ads on FB. It is all pretty basic and dry. Just the way that certain little things work irritate me sometimes but I do have a lot of positive reactions as well. IG has helped tremendously in sharing my photography. FB has helped tremendously in keeping me in touch with friends across the country. With this being said, all of my needs are not satisfied by just one platform.

I receive emails on a daily basis from various companies and I even send out email campaigns through Square for my client on occasion. Receiving these emails is very annoying to me. I just end up deleting them without even looking at the content. They clutter up my space and get in the way of important emails I feel. There are so many better ways to reach more people and in a more attractive way instead of a boring email. Granted they do work sometimes but try social media.

Digital media marketing has become a necessity for businesses and even employees looking for jobs. It is the reason I got into my side social media marketing gig. There is a real need for it in a lot of places especially smaller businesses with owners who do not have the time to do it. Having an online portfolio is very important in today's world. Being able to market yourself is going to secure your career.

Top Dog Versus Underdog - UPS vs FedEx

Hey Everyone! Welcome to my SNHU Blog! One of the biggest business rivalries we see today is that between UPS and FedEx. Both are extremely successful companies but operate in slightly different ways. UPS leads the fight with a value of around $94 billion followed by FedEx with a value of $51 billion. Why is UPS so much more successful than FedEx? Both specialize in package delivery and their rates are even very similar. The main difference between the two is that UPS is geared more towards ground delivery with small packages and has more delivery trucks whereas FedEx is geared more towards international delivery and has more airline freights. Both companies, however, do a little bit of everything. Another big difference between the two is that UPS has better returns for it's shareholders and the company is mostly operated independently and owned by franchises. FedEx is unable to achieve this because their clients usually use multiple services from them making it difficult and...

Marketing Perspective: Social Media Influencers

Hey Everyone! Welcome to my SNHU Blog! Social media stars have an enormous amount of influence. Some of these influencers have millions of fans which makes this an excellent marketing opportunity for businesses. Someone such as Oprah Winfrey, who has nearly 43 million followers just on Twitter, has the potential to reach all of them with a particular message. Product placement is the most common strategy that I see with influencers. Doing something as simple as wearing a t-shirt or drinking/eating a particular food brand is going to be seen by millions. It makes sense that some of these influencers are getting paid $300,000 for one day’s work. Influencers are important because they are able to convey your message in an entertaining way that is very effective. It also saves you the trouble of trying to come up with more content. I think this is an excellent relationship that companies can have with their consumers through an influencer. Everything is about reviews now. Peopl...
