CSIT155 Week 8 Twitter

I find using Twitter's advanced search is no match for Google.com but I was able to find similar businesses and other businesses to cross promote. The key words I used were "pizza blogger, pizza, and pizza with hash tag Oceanside." After sorting through many twitter accounts I found @Slice , @NakedPizzaSD, @NakedPizza, @paradisapizzaca, @PizzaPortBeer, @SanDiegoQuality, @SantinosPizza, and @RoundTablePizza.

CSIT155 Get Visual Part 2

The three businesses similar to my business are Round Table Pizza: https://www.facebook.com/RoundTablePizza

Brooklyn Boyz Pizza: http://www.facebook.com/pages/brooklyn-boyz-pizza/100110216697712

That Pizza Place: https://www.facebook.com/ThatPizzaPlace

All three only use Facebook for visual media. Round Table Pizza was the best looking pictures of their product. Brooklyn Boyz Pizza has good pictures but the also have a video link produced by Gateway San Diego. The video shows a variety of their products and a tour of their restaurant. Brooklyn Boyz Pizza is the most effective of the three using pictures and video on their Facebook page.

CSIT155 Week 7 Get Visual

Darwin Australia 2005

Visual networks are right for a featuring products especially the food industry. Visually appealing pictures of your product gets people interested in your product which sparks conversations about your product.

YouTube is good for short videos, that anyone can do, to get the word out about your company and product. If your YouTube video becomes popular or goes "viral" depending on the amount of views moves you website up towards the top of the search engine list.

Instagram is good for professional looking pictures of places, events, food, art, and social statements. It has a built in photo shop for you pictures but it's gear toward taking pictures from you phone or other mobile devices.

Tumblr is a Web 2.0 site like Facebook but for large businesses without the option to respond to individual updates.

Pinterest has a combination of photo shop type applications, graphic applications, video posting options, blogging, and the ability to protect your content. Ideal for a start up company because of the one stop for all the tools you need to market your business.

Pinterest would probably work the best for my start up business.

Week 6 Part 2

I think these posts will get their attention with appetizing pictures of pizza. I thought this would maybe get customers to think about what they want to eat for lunch or dinner. I scheduled three posts throughout the week. One on Tuesday at 9:00 A.M., the second at 11:30 A.M. on Thursday, and the third at 6 P.M. on Friday.Sporting events like basketball this time of year usually are broadcasts throughout the weekend. So, it seemed fitting to get people to think about ordering food instead of cooking. I also  thought the last one for the week would post at 4 P.M. on Saturday before the UFC MMA fight pay-per-view starts at 7 P.M.

Week 6 CSIT 155

I want my target market to come from Camp Pendleton. The websites I chose to "like" were Marine Corps Community Service Camp Pendleton http://www.mccscp.com/ , UFC http://www.ufc.com/ , Strikeforce http://www.strikeforce.com/ , NBA http://www.nba.com/, X Games http://xgames.espn.go.com/ , Xbox live http://www.xbox.com/en-US/live , Game Stop http://www.gamestop.com/ , and EA (Electronic Arts) http://www.ea.com/. Young Marines both single and married are interested in mixed martial arts, most majors sports, extreme sports, video games, and playing video games online.

Businesses use the “Reach” data to narrow their target market and tailor their marketing toward that specific demographic.
