Chapter Four Post

Facebook's Vanilla New Logo Is About Business, Not Design | WIRED

When looking at the content that is in chapter four of "Essential of Social Media Marketing," the section of text that I want to take a deeper look into is the part that reads, "when it comes to posting content on social media, many expert recommend following the social media rule of thirds, which states that 1/3 of the content should promote the business; 1/3 of the content should be shared from other businesses, industry leaders, news articles, or other pages; and 1/3 of the content should be based on personal interactions with employees, customers, and followers on social media." I think this section of text is a great example of how Facebook should be used when running a business.

I really enjoy following and supporting small businesses because being from a very small town we have so many locals that have their own shops and rely on it for their income. Facebook has become a huge location where people are posting about their businesses and posting upcoming events. I think that when using social media as a business it is very important to make sure that you are engaging with your customer but in addition posting about your business. Running a social media page for a business can be hard because with the lack of knowledge of what to post, you are running in circles trying to figure out what is appropriate to share and post on a business account. 

It is important to share what other businesses, industry leaders, or other pages because it is showing that you are staying engaged in what others are doing. This shows that you are an active member of the community and other businesses will support your business as well. Lastly, making sure to promote your business but not flooding the feed of others with the content is a very important rule. Posting about your business is very important to make sure that customers know what upcoming events are coming up and keeping them up to date. On the other hand, posting too much will make your customers annoyed with the constant posting. Facebook is a great resource to have when running a business but it is also very important to know how to use the account.

Christmas Formals

Each year, Alpha Xi Delta hosts their Christmas formals which is one of the nicest events that we throw in the fall semester. This allows everyone in the chapter to get all dressed up and spend time with each other. This year, we were able to bring dates with us so I brought Megan. Megan knows a lot of the girls in my sorority because a couple of our friends are in the chapter so it was super fun to hang out with everyone. We started getting ready for the formal a couple hours before it started so before people could come to my house to take pictures and hang.  After some time, we all headed to the event and it was so much fun! When we first went there, we spent 30 minutes taking pictures of the different backdrops that they had set up. It was nice to have different options and fun to take pictures with everyone in the chapter. After some time, we went back upstairs and got hot chocolate and sat at the tables. Everyone talked for time and caught up with everyone else. Once everyone was

Welcome to Ada!

While I was just home last weekend, my parents wanted to come up for the weekend. One of the main reasons for them coming is Megan's parents were also coming up and this would be the first time they have met. We wanted to have a tailgate for the football game with them to get to hangout with all of our friends. In addition to hanging out with Megan's parents, my older brother and I surprised my parents by driving down to The University of Cincinnati to pick up my younger brother,  Aiden.  They haven't seen him since leaving for school so we thought this would be really cool for him to join us this weekend. When my parents saw Aiden, they were shocked. They had no idea that we were going to pick him up for the weekend. This made this whole weekend that much more fun!  We all got the our tailgate location in the late morning. The parents set up all of the food that was made and everyone enjoyed each others' company. A lot of Megan and I's friends showed up to socializ

Unexpected Visits

Ohio Northern is an amazing school but freshman year, my best friend, Kendyl transferred halfway through the academic year. She was unhappy on campus and knew that the best thing was for her to leave. I supported her knowing that Ohio Northern was not the place for her anymore but ever since, I felt like a part of me is missing. Throughout the remainder of the year, Kendyl and I would FaceTime at least once a week, as this was the best way to stay in touch and feel connected to each other.  Sophomore year came around and I was really struggling. I did not enjoy my major and was having minor roommate problems. Kendyl recognized that I was miserable and asked what she could do to help me feel better. I conceded that a weekend visit would really help. At first she did not think she would be able to, but after some convincing she made the trip. This was the best weekend I had all year! Whenever we are together, we always have the best time. Laughing the whole time, there is never a dull mo
