Week 7, Post 2 - Scheduled Facebook Posts

Image
Scheduling posts ahead of time is genius!  With my busy schedule, I often find myself scrambling on Sunday night, trying to catch up.  Being able to schedule posts will be a valuable tool for my business and help me promote upcoming holidays, promotions, and events.  My first scheduled post invites people to think about Halloween drinks/margaritas.  Our Mango and Feelin' No Pain flavors are orange so they would be a cool Halloween concoction. The second post is designed to engage people hosting a New Year's Eve party.  It's great to remind people that Margarita Man offers drink mixes that work well with liquors other than tequila.  One of my favorites is our Summertime Lemonade with Smirnoff Raspberry Vodka.  Yum! Lastly, who knew that there is a day dedicated to margaritas?  National Margarita Day is February 22nd.  We tend to rent to more corporate customers for this celebration so I'd love to reach out to more people who may decid...

Appealing to human interest is a great way to drive traffic to your blog or website.  However, if it's an awkward or even tragic topic, sticking to the facts may be best.  If the Blog is for a professional business, you may have to refrain from getting too personal. ...

Week 3, Part 1 - Communicating with Businesses on Social Media

I have had difficulty communicating with several businesses, but one stands out in my mind.  When I switched from AT&T to T-Mobile this past January, I was looking forward to saving money and having better cellular service.  When I received a bill from AT&T in February, I assumed it was my final bill, prorated, so I paid it without hesitation.  When I received a bill for the same amount the next month, I confirmed that I had paid it.  This is where the trouble began. I have to say, I was a little frustrated, but I was certain I could resolve it quickly.  I had proof that the bill had been paid, so what could go wrong?  I logged in to my online account with AT&T.  When I opened the e-bill, I noticed that there was a charge for service on a tablet that had been canceled months prior to switching carriers.  I started a chat session with a customer support rep (CSR), thinking this could be quickly resolved.  Unfortunately, the CSR k...
