- The argument of the book I chose, The Art of Social Media: Power Tips for Power Users by Guy Kawasaki argued how vital it is to adapt a great social media strategy in this day and age in order to succeed in this era. Additionally, it assists users in deciding which social media platforms and strategy would be best for their business and how to properly implement these strategies.
- I believe that this enhanced what I am learning in ENT3003 because I believe this class has geared my focus on creating my business, establishing what it will do, and focusing on the employees/resources I will need throughout this creation. But, it failed to put an extreme focus on social media presence, which is so vital to creating a successful business.
- If I had to design an exercise for the book that I read, I would make students create a specific social media campaign for their business idea. I would probably make them create a “fake” Twitter/Instagram account and release images/tweets pertaining to their business and how they want to be portrayed. I would possibly also make them create a video commercial.
- I think my biggest “aha” moment when reading the book was that different businesses need different social media strategies. For example, my business focuses on physical activities and partnering with insurance companies, so my social media presence would need to be targeted on being very informative and fact-dense in order to have people know about our program. Additionally, I think I would have to pay for advertisements on Twitter/ Instagram to attract customers to my profile. On the other hand, a bakery or some sort of cafe business would have to post pictures of their food or create special social media promotions.

Hey Meghan, this sounds like a great book to read if you are a millennial entrepreneur. Since we do not have access to robust marketing sources, social media is the ultimate outlet as it is 1) free 2)easily accessible by a large audience 3) already familiar to millennials. It blows my mind the time and care some people put into social media, but I realize that is simply because they understand how truly powerful it is. I think your aha moment is important as some successful media pages we follow might not be the right mold for our unique business idea.
ReplyDeleteHey Meghan! I also chose to read this book. My internship this summer is in marketing, and I will be doing a lot with social media, so I figured reading this book would help. Social media is such a powerful tool when used properly. Business do need to use a strategy that works best for their company. When they use an effective strategy, they can reach their targeted markets very easily, and hopefully get a better outcome. Great job!
