Week 6: Engaging your customers--Liking Facebook Business Pages

I am planning to use social media to promote my brand and encourage patient engagement.  


My goal is  to gain the medical community’s understanding of how much my garments help women in recovery and that they should recommend or carry them to offer a higher level of service to their patients.  Also, customers can share posts to widen my market with built in testimonials.


What a perfect time to do this as it is the start of Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

Here are the pages I have liked as a business page and why:

 

Dr. Tiffany Grunwald:  Her office buys from me.  I also am a sponsor and a volunteer of her Malibu Triathlon team.  https://www.facebook.com/tbgmd/

 

Joan Lunden:  I met her at a Susan G. Komen conference and had my content published on her website.

Susan G. Komen, San Diego:  I have volunteered for them for probably ten+ years.  We have partnered in various ways and they help share my brochures and I donate to them.

Diep C Journey:  We started our businesses at the same time five years ago.  We have met at ASPS events and Terri highlights.  This is a private group and I cannot like it (by invitation only).  Terri has helped promote my products and I have them listed in her resources section of her website.  I am able to like her non-profit page: https://www.facebook.com/diepCfoundation.org

 

ASPS:  This is the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.  I have had a booth at several national shows in the past five years.  This is the gold standard organization for only qualified plastic surgeons.

School of Oncoplastic Surgery:  I had a booth at a trade show and am quite impressed with their progressive surgeons.  https://www.facebook.com/Oncoplasticsurgerymd

 

Ashley Regional Medical Center:  They carry my products:  https://www.facebook.com/ashleyregional

 

Dr. Lisa Taylor:  They purchase my products. https://www.facebook.com/Lisa-Taylor-MD-183910408399613

 

UCSD Plastic Surgery:  I know the docs there and they recommend my garments.  https://www.facebook.com/UCSDPlasticSurgery

 

Palomar College Fashion Department:  I am friends with the Chair of this department and they have seen me start my business and design my garments.

Week 1A:  Let's get blogging This is my first go at creating a blog and posting to it so that you will be interested in reading it and coming back for more information.  Therefore, let’s start at the beginning; choosing a theme to entice you.   Here are the reasons I chose the Notable theme:   1.      This theme is  notable  as an extension of my personality, primarily striving for organized minimalism.  I want to present you with information to quickly  grasp without clutter on your screen.  As a fellow achiever, I’d like to help you comfortably reach your goal of grasping all the information in one full swoop.     2.     This theme is  notable   for a purposeful format with one section of text with one photo.  You can chose to digest each morsel by reading the text or by looking a picture (quietly speaking a thousand words).   Once I learn how to format the photos with text, I plan on using clever photos with simplicity for focus rather than distraction.   3.     This theme is al

Week 3 Post 1 - Aesthetics, Design & Branding

After reviewing all the sites, I chose to discuss the following websites as they stood out in various ways:   https://jamilin.com First, there is so much information on the page with so many font colors, it is extremely difficult to focus on any one item and it is not clear what this company considers the most important information on the page.  It seems that the information was added to the page without an overall concept. There is no contrast to help organize the page and the alignment is mixed, even within multiple sections.  Each page has a completely different design format and it is not apparent on how to return to the home page.  In addition, for some reason, multiple images do not load. I do not think this site looks professional as the photos, type and layout does not looked planned or created to direct the visitor in a logical path.  It appears that the company may be disorganized and perhaps their offerings are not quality. To improve upon this site, a well thought out style
