Week 7

Troutlet is a company that is all about fishing. Their facebook page is really good with information on the deals, products, and promotions. They have contest that followers can participate in to win products that range from expensive to non expensive, to new and old products. The keep their facebook up to date about once to twice every two weeks.  They have awesome pictures that followers submit and they business employees post themselves. I rank them as effective because of what they provide and keeping up to date on their posts. The main attractant to follow them is product giveaways, which no one wants to pass up, and news up the new products.

Guitar Center has a super effective page. First they have apps. This is for contest and careers within the business. These are what most people like to see in a page. But even better is their guitar lessons link. This takes you to guitar lessons on youtube. This is pretty cool if your a musician. Musicians find this handy and fun to view when their facebooking like myself. They keep up to date constantly and tell of new products and promtions. I rank they as very effective.

Around the corner is a bar business. Their page seems alright, but doesn't offer alot to its subscribers. It keeps people up  to date on specials and event and shares pictures of events and people. Other than this it doesn't offer much to people. It couldv'e been more attractive if they had print out coupons or games you play to get free drinks. Id rank this as the least effective out of my three choices. They could use more information like hours, dj's, food hours, and menu.

Google+ and Facebook

Google+ and Facebook are closely similiar. I just setup an account with Google+ and even the layout is similiar to facebooks, except it doesn't have any of the annoying features facebook added, like the timeline. The advantage that Google+ has is its audience. I really don't know anyone that uses it, so it's aim may be more towards businesses. When their is a marketer at a company, im sure they try to make profiles on most every social media site, and google+ maybe one of them. So this may be an advantage. A big advantage is e-mail capabilities. All the recipents that are sent in gmail, are added to your google+ account. Which helps if you have a business that email's customers, alot. This enables them to follow you easier and find you quicker.  The pages on Google+ don't have apps, atleast that i couldn't find. This may be an issue if companies put out apps for features such as products listing, or games. Other than that, i see google+ as way better than facebook. It's layout maybe similiar to facebooks, but it seems cleaner and more appealing. It's not cluttered up like facebook is since it's been adding more and more annoying features.
