Hello everyone!

My previous post was about the Social Media Workshop that I gave with my group to our client Andrea Whaley of Wardrobe Interventions in Austin, Texas. We cover platforms of social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and both of Andrea’s websites.

We formed all of the platforms to fit a fashion look and modeled it from Rachel Zoe’s social media since she is also a fashion stylist as well. The presentation was mainly a workshop on information about how to post, edit and engage using apps, social media and contest/creative ideas. We kept the presentation fun and creative because after all, IT’S ABOUT FASHION! This gave our group a chance to put our thinking caps on and create a great presentation that will help our client build her brand, grow her social media as well as gain more cliental.

Here is the Prezi my group and I presented to Andrea Whaley for her business Wardrobe Interventions.

This is the actual video of our presentation in class. (I apologize in advance for the lighting and sound! It was not professionally shot)

I hope these videos of our presentation helped explain exactly what I have been blogging about all semester!

Hello Everyone!

I hope you all are having a great week!

Last time I talked about how to use videos in social media apps like Vine and Instagram to gain more followers. I highly encourage all of you to try it! It makes business fun and creative with an awesome result in the end!

So, this week I will be talking about how create a Pinterest account and use it to your businesses advantage!

Pinterest is one of my favorite social media sites by far! I have 13 boards and over 1,500 total pins! To any of you who do not know what Pinterest is, this is the breakdown: The basic idea of of Pinterest is to “pin” pictures and/or article you are interested in onto a board that fits that category. Then continuously making more boards of other categories to build and grow you Pinterest as a whole.

For example, if I was on Pinterest under the Women’s Clothing category and saw a cute picture of an outfit, I would then pin it to my “Outfits” or “Attire” board because it fits the genre. BUT, you can name your boards however you want! My women’s clothing board is actually just “Attire” (not so exciting..) but, you can get as creative as you want with it! Another example would be if I came across a picture of some delicious nachos for a party appetizer! I would pin it to my food and drinks board, and so on. Easy, right!?

Here is an example of my Pinterest account boards:

The possibilities are endless!

So now that we ran over the basics of this site, lets get down to business!

For you business you can create a profile with the name of your business and post pictures form your website, clients and creative pictures that are related. Since my client is Andrea Whaley of Wardrobe Inventions, so the Pinterest I would have in mind would involve closet transformation before and afters, outfit ideas, clients with their new closets and weekly ideas on how to gain more clients. Some ideas would involve contests for a percentage off a closet raid or cutest outfits for followers to look through. This can easily be translated into other types of businesses, just think creative and try to aim for ideas on ways to be unique compared to your competition. One way I always keep my creativity alive is by thinking of ways that would attract me to website. If you would not be interested in it, why expect anyone else to?

So remember, Pinterest can be a great tool to use in you PR bag for your business! Its free, easy to use and makes your business look modern and creative!

Until next time!

XOXO
