Week 8 Part B: Your Instagram Hashtag Use

My 1st post is of our shop dog, Good Grace. I used three Hashtags. #shopdog, #goodgrace and #cutedog. I think people who love dogs will see the Hashtag #cutedog and other people who have shop dogs will see #shopdog. The post was in the morning on Monday.  My 2nd post was a shirt we printed for a company in Laguna Beach. I used one Hashtag. #lagunabeach. I posted in the afternoon on Tuesday.  My 3rd post was one picture of a design printed for A local barber shop. I used several Hashtags. #oceanside #oceansidecalifornia #shortcuts #barber #barbershop . The more Hashtags the more traffic the post gets. I've learned that you can use all sorts of Hashtags for each post.

Different ones,  #FindYourCoast ,  #goatforjoe  ,  #serviceaboveself   #rotary   #4waytest ,  #firststephousegratitude ,  Smaller business use one and larger business use several.  Contractor uses,  #tile   #tiledesign   #tilecontractor   #tileinstallation Personal person post,  #climbing   #peakbagging   #mountains   #yosemite   #halfdome   #hiking   #sendit Ford,    #fordargentina🔵   #fordmotorcompany   #ford  

Week 7 Part B: How Other Businesses Use Instagram

 North County Golf Company and Goat Hill Park golf course use Instagram daily, they both posts pictures and videos. Videos seem to get more likes than the pictures. I looked at Witzman Family daycare which is just posts of some things the daycare does throughout the day. Not selling or advertising anything. Almegos is a company that does tutorials about golf related themes, but everything advertised he also sells. Ford Moter Company is all video commercials where Toyota is just pictures or videos of cars only. 

Week 7 Part A: Get Visual with Instagram - Let a Picture or Short Video Tell the Story

I started LAMBSCREENPRINTINGSOCAL Insta in January 2021. I have a total of 10 posts and  98 followers. I do not use it regularly obviously but would like to. I do get likes every time I post something  though. It's fun to see other businesses like stuff. Feels like community.  These are the hashtags I've used: #screenprint   #screenprinting   #screenprintinglife   #screenprintingaddicts   #screenprintingsd I follow 107 other businesses.

Week 6 Part A: Engaging Your Customers - FaceBook Strategy

 I choose 7 business that are directly related to what I do daily. I liked all of them. Making connections with others is a great way to build a social media page.  I am not following Fully Promoted in Temecula, Screen Printing Q&A, Screen Printing + Sublimation + DTF + DTG, Fernando Screen Printing in Garden Groove, MH Custom Printing in Oceanside, Print Lab in Hollywood, and Imprint Revolution in Los Angeles.  It was great to see what others in the industry do to promote their business's on Facebook and to see how they draw in views with content. From showing how the process works to showing the finished product, whoever is reaching out to the page has several things to look at. All the posts were well written and had pictures. All of them had comments and likes from customer's and viewers. I saw happy birthday posts with lots of comments. I saw a cute family on vacation with matching shirts with the post reading, family vacation shirts. matching shirts are very popular a
