I
have been doing some marketing practice at work by helping to run their Facebook
page. The page was set up by my co-worker who is not overly tech savvy,
she was having trouble posting photos, so I have taken on the role of her
Facebook assistant! Basically, any photo posts on the page are my uploads and
the written posts are my co-worker.
I
have really enjoyed doing these posts and interacting with our customers
online. There have been a couple of times when I post about a plant, a customer
has come in the next day to buy it. So it is very cool seeing my work pay off! My
boss doesn’t use Facebook but she has been very encouraging and even offered up
store credit for a competition. I took a photo of an Acer senkaki tree with distinctive
red bark and the followers had to guess the name of the tree. It was a great way to get people interacting with
the post which resulted in more views.
