Is Pinterest a Good Fit for Your Company?
Pinterest, some companies use it as an opportunity to build brand awareness. Here at Stellar Blue we use Pinterest as a virtual product board to share our favorite info graphics, launch our new websites and give followers a laugh by sharing comics that we find hilarious! Before you jump on and join the Pinterest train you must ask yourself, is Pinterest a good fit for your company?
The reason that companies use social media is to raise awareness for its brands. As a virtual scrapbook there are some tips to follow to make your company Pinterest page successful. If you are a visual company then Pinterest may be a social media platform worth investigating.
Adding another social media account can increase traffic to your website. So how do you go about starting Pinterest? First create an account, next make a couple of boards. Our first board included our favorite info graphics, a place where we could share fun and interesting images with our followers. After creating boards it is time to start pinning products, news and tips, be creative! It is up to you as a company where you want to take this valuable platform. Do not forget to follow others in your industry; this will create more awareness for your company.
The easy part of any social media platform is starting up an account. The hardest part is maintaining and interacting with followers. If you find this struggle with your social media give Stellar Blue a call. With expertise in social media optimization we can help you create, maintain and provide assistance to your company's social media.
If you have further questions about Pinterest or social media optimization, contact Stellar Blue’s crew at (920) 905-0250 or info@stellarbluewebdesign.com.

Running a Facebook Contest for your Business
Facebook contests can be used to build awareness, act as an incentive for followers to “Like” your company page, promote a new product or boost engagement. The question is where do you begin? First you must ask yourself does your company have the time, resources and budget to devote to planning and managing a contest? What is your objective in running the contest and who will be your third-party app provider that can administer your contest? Next you must choose a Facebook contest that makes sense to your company. Whether you have followers upload photos, submit an essay, answer trivia questions or enter a sweepstakes, there are a lot of variations of contests you can choose from. Next choose the award that you will be giving away, but a tip is to make the award relatable to your company, give participants something that draws them back to your business. Once you work out your rules and selection process it is time to get your contest up and running. But in order to get anyone to participate in your contest you must promote, promote, promote! Facebook contest can get followers to engage with your brand and in turn generate trust, build brand loyalty and increase sales. As Stellar Blue begins to launch its first Facebook contest (stay tuned) keep in mind that we have the experience to create, promote and launch a contest. Contact Stellar Blue for any social media optimization needs, we are here to help!
