Selecting Messages for Social Media Channels

As part of Module 1’s Session Long Project, you selected two social media channels that will be associated with your business and provide branding and communication opportunities. Module 1 provided an opportunity to research, define and analyze a target market. The community surrounding your business is diverse in many ways. Catering to a single profile could alienate other groups of consumers. Matching the business, its communication and social media channels is a delicate balance that can reap rewards.

Include why the social media channel supports the markets addressed. (Research Support Required) The first social media post will be a call to action for a group outside of your main target profile. The second post will focus on delivering an inclusive message to engage a group outside of your target profile. Include a link to your website, social media and a screenshot of the posts. Screenshot on Windows or Screenshot on Mac. This post should be 2 paragraphs in length (150-200 words). Since you are engaging in research, be sure to cite in the body of the post and add a reference list in APA format. NOTE: failure to use research with accompanying in-text citations to support content will result in reduced scoring “Level 2-Developing” on the grading rubric. WEEK 2 INTERACTIVE RESPONSES TO CLASSMATES Reply to different classmates throughout class; the variety is beneficial to both parties. Let’s see if every student who posts during the week receives at least one critique. 1st Interactive Response: Critique one business’ social media posts from a consumer point of view. Based on the design choices and message, share your opinion of the intended target market and how you feel about the authenticity of the messages. 2nd Interactive Response: Critique another business’ social media posts from a consumer point of view. Based on the design choices and message, share your opinion of the intended target market and how you feel about the authenticity of the messages. Each reply should be one paragraph in length (or about 75 words) and must be substantive. Do not simply say “I agree” or “That is great”, specify why and be detailed in your explanation. You may use research in your responses, but it is not required. In your own words, respond to the discussion and comments of classmates. Grades will be based on effectual, concise, and interactive feedback. The excessive use of quotes will directly impact performance since this indicates a lack of comprehension and shows that you may not have mastered the concepts.
