My Target Market First I think it is important to note that I want to open an ice cream shop. Ever since I decided that I wanted to open my own business and what I was passionate about, I always thought ice cream was a great representation. Originally I wanted to market to Mexican American market because I can relate to that. Now that I am growing older I am in a different part in my life. I have been considering going vegan for a while now so my market must also reflect those vegans in it. My ice cream is going to represent me. In order for my business to thrive I need to focus on what I am good at and find those people and bring them too me. I live in southern California. One of our closest neighborhoods is Mexico. I am Mexican and grew up eating Mexican ice cream. So my main target the Hispanic community and ice cream lover. The vibe I want for my place is to be modern and focus on the younger generation or millennial. I feel like they are currently making a big difference, are ...

Today I am going to focus on Set 1. This consist of Armstrong Gardens and Myrtle Creek Garden.  First of I would like to say I spent a lot more time on the Armstrong Garden page. This is not because I rushed through the second page but Armstrong was just so much more inviting. The color scheme, the organization, the photos and font were all so welcoming. So much so that I almost considered visiting the location but I remembered I do not have space in my apartment for gardening. The sites material was very similar. It had catalogs about all the different plants and flower you can buy at their store. The website also presented career opportunities if you were interested in working as a gardener. Both sites also provided services from consultations to free design for landscapes. On the first page they also advertised their events and their sales currently going on or at least pretty recent. They also had a dedicated about page but every online page should also have this. Now when ...

https://www.netflix.com/title/ When choosing my websites, I went to my homepage on Chrome where it shows my most visited pages. Netflix is a popular streaming service where users and their families can stream their favorite shows and movies.  Before searching or picking up where you left off Netflix asks the user who’s account you want to access. This way parents and kids can have a different series lined up to watch or if they are watching the same show they can pick up where they exactly left off and not their family member. That simple option that makes the user right off the bat chose an account is a great feature of the website. Similar to Toyota and Apple this website has its options going down from left to right. This is super important because users pick a category and can scroll through the options or move on to the next all on the same page. Other pages when offering various options require you to load new pages and click through a web of link. Another awesome fe...

Websites that need Improving The first link I accessed was MGBD Parts and services. I chose this link because I was not really familiar with it. As soon as I was redirected, I could not help but laugh. This is important to note because I could not take this website seriously. If a consumer can not take a website seriously why would they take their business there.   Secondly There are to many things going on in the first page. I do not know where to look or find what I need because I am looking everywhere. Eventually I realized that on the left-hand side was the menu. That is usually where customers go to move on to the next page for what ever they need. The font is in red, and instead of having a plain background it has a green car. The color choices make it really hard to read what it says. To improve this website, I would cut down on the number of pictures of cars. If the user wants to have multiple cars have then all in one picture and not behind letter. This way a use...

Business 1 1. Wendy's 2. https://www.wendys.com/home 3. https://twitter.com/Wendys They are using twitter. 4. There social media is really well used. 5. Last post was yesterday 6. When I had to pick social media for a business, I automatically thought of Wendy's. I think Wendy's is doing a great job getting the attention of millennial. They are sometimes funny and usually have jokes and "clap backs". I think the format for Wendy's is less professional for replying to users but it does a great job advertising which is also important in social media. That is the whole point why they were created in the first place. Business 2 1. Carmelitas 2. They do not have a website. 3. They do not have a website but they have a facebook.  https://www.facebook.com/carmelitasnackvista/ 4. They post constantly. 5. They just posted 2 hours ago. 6. This is already very different from Wendy's. It is a small business so I think the standards are a little differe...

I have experienced communicating with a business. I had bought some giant bubbles for soccer, and was trying to get some answers for my particular product. I had emailed them initially but got no response. So I thought that social media would be the faster way. As soon as I got back an answer from social media I got one through email as well. I definitely thing that social media gets you noticed faster than email. Getting the problem solved faster sometimes is better through email though. This is because when they follow up with you it is usually with email. I don't really reach out through social media, only reason I did was I was desperate for the reply. If I had social media for my business I would definitely focus on answering them all on  a timely manner. If I can check my social media everyday and reply to people, I can also make it a habit to reply to other users. It might be harder for bigger business to communicate through social media but it shouldn't be for small...
