17 September 2019

Marketing Gets Digital
Today is a day you will use to prepare for several future activities.  You are going to create NEW social media accounts. If you already have an account, that is fine, you still need to create NEW ones.  These accounts will be for your client (remember the logo on the front page of your website?). You want to post items for your client on a NEW account, not an existing account.

You may want to us the name of your client in the account name.  You might have to use a variation since many students will be using the same clients. (a variation to Rocket Energy Drink could be Rocket is #1, The #1 Rocket Energy Drink, Drink Rocket Energy, etc.).

If you are not sure how to create the account, GOOGLE is your friend.

One the Social Media Marketing Tab, create a row of Social Media Icons/Images (for the platforms listed below) across the top of your page.  Link each icon to the account you create.  I understand some of them can not be created at school.  We call that homework:) 

Create accounts in:
Facebook
Twitter
Pinterest
Snapchat
Instagram
YouTube
(any others that you want!)

When you are done, create headers for each account using Canva.com. (here is a cheat sheet with dimensions if oty can't find a template) Place those headers, along with the name of the Social Media Platform (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) on the tab of your site called Assignment #7.  DO NOT PUT THE HEADERS OR ANYTHING ELSE (in terms of an image) OIN THE ACTUAL SOCIAL MEDIA PAGE.
If you have problems, please SEARCH GOOGLE.

Do the assignment called Assignment II- Reader Profile.  Drop the assignment to me by the next class.  Then read II.9 on Buyer Pesona and be ready to discuss next time in class.
