Week 8 B - Visual Aids




1. Finally Sold

2. We Buy Ugly Houses

3. Expert Home Offers

4. We Buy Houses


Just about everyone knows the saying “A picture is worth a thousand words”. Visual images tend to make information easier to understand and remember when compared to written content. According to an article in Phycology Today, it states our brain functions more as an image processor and less as a word processor. It goes on to explain how bigger the image processing side of our brains is when compared to the word processing side. Through these studies, I do believe that images and visual media are better suited for marketing my business.

Photos, illustrations, sketches or even symbols can all be used to market your brand and showcase your company’s core agenda. The Finally Sold site has a Pinterest page, with zero followers and only one photo. Where they shine the most is on Facebook and Twitter. On Facebook, they have a total of 558 followers, and their latest post is dated July 2018. Before their July post, they posted once in 2016 and a few articles in 2015. On Twitter, they have a total of 735 followers, and like their Facebook page, posted once in 2018, once in 2016 and a few other times in 2015. Overall, their posts have little to no engagement when compared to the number of followers. We Buy Ugly Houses uses a combination of visual media and articles on their Facebook page. They have a total of 3,270 followers, post frequently, but also have little consumer engagement on their page.

Expert Home Offers Facebook page has 4,000 followers with a few pictures and videos as visual aids. They’re the latest post was in June 2018. They also shared a few other visual posts in 2017. Their social media has little engagement when compared to the number of followers they have. We Buy Houses Facebook page contains a massive amount of videos and images. They also post frequently, has 29,796 followers and has a strong consumer engagement. What makes We Buy Houses shine the most,  when compared to the other sites,  is their consistency with posting new content. This is something I will definitely integrate into my company’s marketing plan. I will also use a combination of images and videos, similar to the We Buy Houses Facebook page.

Week 3 A

Have you ever experienced difficulty communicating with a business? With an e-commerce type of business, no. I’ve been really lucky with online purchases. I tend to buy my online goods from stores with high reviews or have a good rating with the BBB board. Any shipping issues that I have encountered in the past, or wrong product received type issues are always handled in a timely and professional manner. Does social media make it easier to get noticed or get your problem solved? Yes, social media makes it easier for companies to see your complaint or praise and respond accordingly. Like once when I had a really bad experience at a Restaurant and posted said experience on Yelp. The restaurant management team replied to me personally with an apology and offered a free dine-in coupon for my next visit. Since social media is extremely popular with everyday people brands with a good marketing team should use social media to address any positive or negative reviews about their compa

Week 10 A - Appealing To Peoples Emotions

When writing a blog, in the beginning, you are basically faceless. By letting people know there is an actual person behind the words on the screen can spark a connection with you and the customer. Ultimately, adding human interest to your blog allows your readers to connect with you and your business in a more personal and relatable way. For me, reading a blog post that is similar to a personal life experience draws me in to read more. I am also emotionally connected with the writer and become more engaged with their content. Effective human-interest blogs can result in your company differentiating itself from their competition. When a human-interest post is well written, it will captivate their audience, and through its uniqueness, produce a bigger fan base and consumer interaction. A human-interest post may be less effective if you are guest blogging for a company. Especially if you are writing from the standpoint of your own personality while disregarding the company’s

Week1A: My Template

When it comes to branding one’s company and or blog, having a correct color scheme is extremely important. Companies like McDonalds and In-N-Out strategically picked a bold rich red and cheerful bright yellow for their companies logo for a reason. “In a study titled “ Impact of color on marketing ,” researchers found that up to 90% of snap judgments made about products can be based on color alone, depending on the product" . So while reviewing the many different templates the website "Blogger"  had to offer, I decided to first research which colors are best for a Real Estate Investment Blog/website, and then build from there.. Through my research, I discovered that the color blue is often associated with trust and dependability . Additionally, the color green is linked to nurturing and education.  Since the main goals with my blog are to generate leads to my primary website, be seen as a legitimate Real Estate Investment company, and be viewed as an extremely knowl
