Week 3 Part 2 Business websites

1. Marinha, U-Safe remote control life preserver
2. Norasperformance.com
3. Website, Facebook, YouTube, Linkedin
4. This is new out to the market but it is getting attention. It also gets reviews from other companies that play their video to review or advertise it. I saw it on Facebook. Also, it is a Portugese company, so there may be international sites that I have not seen.
5. FB Sept 2017, YT Feb 2017, IN ? date
6. Newly out, they are introducing it and showing the features and benefits. The best way for them to do this is to show it in action in the wavy ocean waters and how it maneuvers to get to the person in the water by remote control. They are doing this very well.

1. Timberland, Boots with thread made of recycled plastic bottles from Haiti
2. Timberland.com/markmakers/thread.html
3. They all look used and updated frequently and currently with consistent images and message.
4. Website, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, YouTube, Pintrest
5. T Sept 2017, FB Sept 2017, I ?, T, ? YT Feb 2017, P ?
6. I think they are doing well with marketing. This is not the only product they use recycled materials for, so they also have their message with other product lines that cross over. They do have a lot of followers and views.

1. Kamp Kanine, Dog kamp and training
2. Kampkanine.com
3. Website, Facebook, Instagram, Google +, Shutterfly
4. They are very good sites with lots of pictures and activities updates. A very good interactive website with all of the options of doing online booking and class sign ups etc.
5. FB Sept 2017, I Sept 2017, G+, SF Sept 2017
6. They do a great job with social media and keeping things current. And the personal touch of adding the dogs pictures shows they are happy at the kamp and hiking etc. Nice for Shutterfly to get pics of your own dog if you want to.

1. The Animal Rescue Site
2. Theanimalrescuesite.greatergood.com
3. Website, Facebook, Google +
4. They do a lot of good ads on FB and a lot of PR stories and PSAs about animal rescues and success stories. Co-op with other companies news stories to promote. Not just ads.
5. FB 2017
6. They have an intermingled website with the Greater Good and other charities that you can click on to have companies donate to help. They also have an online store for each of the 10 sites. They match some items if you buy one, they donate one. Ship internationally. Have email reminders to "click" every day to donate, but don't bog you down with lots of emails.

1. The Pet Care Card, Home alone ID tags etc.
2. Thepetcarecard.com
3. Website, Facebook, Instagram, Pintrest, Newsletter
4. See a lot of ads on FB, but have not signed up for their newsletter.
5. FB Sept 2017, I Sept 2017, P ?, newsletter, not sure how often.
6. They do frequent ads on FB and I don't go to Instagram, so not sure how often they are on there. But they seem to be a fairly new company on their site it referenced 2015-2017. But regarding FB they have me targeted because I have so many animal companies that I follow.


Question 7.
I have not followed all of the different social media sites, so I have only been exposed to some of them. Facebook and Linkedin are the 2 main ones that I follow. And I get a lot of exposure from those to many companies of my interests and that I choose to follow. I do buy things from FB ads that I see, or I use that as a reference to buy elsewhere too if I find elsewhere for a better price.
The websites alone I think are crucial to social media for ease of use, easy to find contact info, ease to shop online, easy FAQs, overall appearance and image, easy links and added benefits like ease of scheduling appointments or like Kamp Kanine van pickup and drop off days or hiking. Then they shoot you back a confirmation email right away. And that's very important too. Fast response time for feedback to customers.
It is important for the repetition of using social media too. Because we are so bombarded with SO MUCH that one ad or posting can easily get lost in the shuffle. So multiple platforms, multiple ads and postings, easy links and the right timing are all important in deciding how to come up with your marketing plan.
