Week 9—Blog Post One

 I am a firm believer that telling a story about someone helps readers identify with them, especially when they may be entering a new experience.  This is especially helpful for my customers who have typically gone through breast cancer treatments and are nearing the end of their journey when undergoing reconstructive surgery.  Their emotions have been heighted for a while at this point ad they usually have felt  quite a bit of fear, anxiety and sadness.  Affirming that they are nearing the end of this chapter with a new look can certainly offer them hope.  Such a simple item like  recovery bra has given my customers so much happiness, a feeling of hope, being taken care of and relief that they will be given a new “normal” look.  I am excited to tell some real hopeful patient stories that have truly brought me to tears of joy.

 

I think it is meaningful to offer a personal touch in almost all cases for my business.  It is so very helpful (after numerous one on one conversations with my customers who have shared their appreciation) for the patients.  In addition, I enjoy enlightening the surgeons to give them a direct patient perspective which they also appreciate and may not otherwise receive.  I am trying to think of a reason not to offer a personal touch, but for my business, that is what separates me from other companies.


Thoughtfully,

Marla Hope

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 phot...

Week 14 Facebook Insight Analysis

Facebook Insights for Aztec Brewing Company:     In the last 28 days, 7 % less people were reached by Facebook.  Yet, the audience you are trying to reach is more engaged—up 33%!  The page likes are down 33%, perhaps as new guests were nearly impossible to achieve with the varying laws of restaurant openings.   Mobile has always been dominant for Facebook, yet about 30% are now on computers as many people are home.   Regarding the top reaching posts, it looks like a trend of types of beer offerings and hours.  Perhaps the highest reach was also when the Brewery was open.     How interesting that there is little disparity between days of the week when fans are online.  No doubt that people have more time all week to go online.  Wow, they are on all day from about 8:30 AM to about 9:30.  The reactions and comments look like they have been higher around the Election, Veterans Day and Thanksgiving...

Week 15: My Marketing Strategy Post One

  I feel that for the consumer, Facebook and Instagram are best to start with.     At least on FB I can control a paid audience.     Also, FB is the correct age demographic for my products.     I am most excited about Facebook as I understand it and there can be great interaction.     I can also make it a resource and inspirational platform for patients at all stages through their journey.     I am also diving more into graphic design and look forward to incorporating it in my communications!     My calling for sure!   I would like to try a contest combined with a survey to see what products my customer base is interested in.  I think there is a way to upload a customer email list and reach them (paid, I believe).  It sure would also be a way to gain likes.  I feel it would be best to have a library of meaningful posts first in this oversaturated world.  I also very much like th...
