Another Example of How Social Media May Do for a Business

Image
By
We have discussed several examples of how social media may do for a business in this blog before --- e.g. 4food and Mobile Food Truck (a Facebook video). This CNN video provides another successful example of using social media in mobile cupcake business. Even though this video does not reveal much new information, it shows the importance of tying every social media tool together. This is the way to build a brand with consistent messages and maximize the strengths of a variety of social media tools. Do you agree?

    This is a simple idea that was well implemented to get their name out there. Not only is their advertising free, it is real time advertising, meaning that rather than putting an add in the paper for the following week they are letting the customer know exactly where they will be at a moments notice. This is beneficial to the consumer to know immediately because they may forget about advertisements they read in the paper. Most people get twitter updates on there phone making it a friendly reminder to spend their money; especially if they are in the area when they get the twitter update.

    I've heard about this through food network. They have the whole "Truck Race" for foods and now a days i seem more travel trucks than actually sit downs. There's a truck called "waffle and dinges" and it was featured on food network for serving delicious Belgian waffles. The way they become so famous is because you have to catch them on the right time. They advertise through facebook and twitter because social media and technology plays a huge role in our lives today.

How to choose the best credit cards for travel (By David Mai)

By
  Traveling in a Post-Pandemic World If there was one thing the pandemic taught us, it was that everybody became hesitant and unwilling to travel. Shaver (2020) of The Washington Post shared an interesting tidbit in which Americans were actually staying home less during the pandemic, according to research that tracks users' smartphone data.  The quarantine fatigue affected nearly everyone who lived an active lifestyle or loved to be out and about in the world. It was simply not a safe time, and too many regulations were in place that deterred consumers from traveling for leisure. Consequently, the COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the travel and hospitality industry. Yet, there is no doubt that people will yearn to travel again when the pandemic is fully lifted. Around this same time, credit card companies have developed unique ways to retain business with consumers who look to maximize rewards and benefits for their journey.

Yammer: A Social Networking Site Exclusively for the Workplace

By
Effective internal communications among employees are related to some desirable organizational outcomes, such as robust morale, a clear vision, low turnover, and high employee engagement. The question is what platform can serve the purpose. This ABC News video introduces “ Yammer ,” an exclusive internal communication tool for companies. A user must use a valid company e-mail address to sign up for an account. Once an account is validated, the user will be led to the company page that is pretty much like a Facebook page. The difference is that only the users whose e-mail addresses share the same domain can see the wall and communicate with each other. I have no question about whether Yammer could be a useful internal communication tool for companies, but I just wonder: how many social networking sites do people need for communication? Why people have to “create” so many platforms or channels for “effective communications”? To many people, Facebook is only for “friends,” whe
