A Quick Example from Mr. P's Former Student...

One of my former students decided to start his own business selling bracelets, watches, and other jewelry and accessories.  He created his Business Name and Logo, and then he began marketing his business on social media.  He worked hard and built up a client base entirely online!  All he did was continue his marketing campaigns on social media.  Every day he posts and tweets.  That leads to many followers and lots of likes.  That leads to more sales and more profits.

Examples shown below:

CREATE A SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN

Your business is now entering the world of Social Media!

Think about the BIG-5 in Social Media, and which TWO (2) would work best for you!

Your assignment is create TWO promotional pieces using a social media platform. Your message should include CREATIVITY, and the following items:

• Business Name

• Business Logo

• Message

• Impressive Photos of the products you sell (you should already have these)

• Prices for your products

• Reach out to your customers, and invite them to do business with you!

This should be completed in Adobe Photoshop and should look like a real Post/Tweet/Pin/etc. (something like the examples shown above.) Your Photoshop File will probably be more wide than tall, but it all depends on your product photos. Remember your character limits. Be short, sweet, and to the point. Push your product (positively) to the customers.

Turn a copy of your TWO Social media Promotional Pieces into Google Classroom when you complete them. The files should be in .PNG format please. Be sure to check spelling, grammar, and capitalization. Errors in your work are unacceptable.
