Social media impact

Social media impact

Social media impact transcends into business as well. Even those who have not adopted social media practices can actually feel the effects of social media in the industry. Some of its effects in business include: more interactive customer relations. The beauty of social media is that it creates a direct link between you and your customers. Social media gives them the opportunity to let companies know what they like and don’t like about their products and services. As such, this makes social media a viable arena for doing market research, as these individuals are willing to give feedback about what companies are offering to their consumers. In this way, you will be able to make better decisions on what products and services to offer to them, since you will actually know what exactly they’re looking for. Social media effects what customers should buy or not buy. Social media allows people to communicate with each other. Should a friend promote a certain product, those in his or her circles are more likely to avail of this as compared to a product that wasn’t personally endorsed by someone they know. On the flip side, any vetoing done by a person regarding a certain product or service will also impact whether the persons in his or her circle will purchase this. Social media has made this process so much quicker and more easily spread. Furthermore, social media has also provided people another avenue from where they can research about certain products or services they’re interested in, and some even allow them to purchase these items through the social media outlet. Social media also allows you to make money. It’s actually possible to use social media to make money, such as through SEO services, online marketing, and professional blogging. One of the key things to understand is that social media is not a passing fad. Any business that still believes this needs to take an urgent look at the environment in which they are operating. The affect of social media can be felt across many business areas and ignoring its potency can only leave a business at a disadvantage. Marketing initiatives have been affected by social media to the same extent as reputation management. The old Mad Men-type world of advertising is definitely a thing of the past. Modern marketing campaigns must have a social media element. Look at the MINI car for a superb example of how a company utilizes Facebook, Twitter and other networks to reach an audience that is not consuming traditional media. There advertising is innovative and interactive and uses social media to their own advantage. By doing so, brand recognition is enhances with a much greater level of market visibility that would have otherwise been achieved. Social media is the quickest and easiest way to gather opinions from customers/potential customers and to react accordingly to market demand. This process also engenders increased customer loyalty as users feel part of the process, bot just end users. Some disadvantages that I have found are a lack of short term ROI (don’t groan) – It can often take up to a year before a social media programme can start to show any improvement in sales or customer service. It is not an immediate quick fix and it should be used with more a long term view in place. Another disadvantage is fraud – It is often important to monitor social media even if you are not using it yourself. It is all too easy for someone to pretend to be anyone especially on twitter with cyber squatters all over the place (just ask Ryan Giggs). If you do not have a social media presence, someone could pretend to act as your business which could cause great damage to the reputation of your brand.

Assignment 2: LASA 1-The Strategic Components of State Healthcare Management Company

The State Healthcare Management Company (a fictitious company) has been established to provide coordinated healthcare to state workers.  You are a new manager in this company.  Your supervisor has asked you to review your company’s mission, vision, goals and strategies.  She/he posed the following questions and has asked you to provide a report (5 – 8 pages) answering each question.  Your report should follow APA guidelines and include at least four outside resources.

Given:

The mission of the State Healthcare Management Company is to improve access to cost-effective, quality health care services for state workers.

Our vision for the next three years includes:

  • The public and government agencies are confident that our customers are being treated fairly in the determination of eligibility and benefits.
  • Healthcare providers see us as proactive partners to provide preventative care to our customers.
  • Turnover of key personnel is minimal, with sufficient staff education to insure compliance with new regulations.

Our values are:

  • Provide prevention and early intervention information to help customers make good health care choices.
  • Negotiate with suppliers, including service providers, to achieve value for customers
  • Assess, evaluate and continuously improve the quality of our work.

Our strategic goals for this year are:

  • Increase the number of state workers covered to 70% of the population of state workers
  • Improve Health Outcomes by linking provider payments to decreasing occurrences of the customer’s disease outbreaks
  • Contain Health Care Costs by asking for specific evidence from physicians when they request payment for customer care
  • Improve the long-term care service delivery system by identifying a baseline for nursing homes.

Questions:

1.     Do you believe our company’s mission, vision and values statements align well?   Why or why not?

2.     I noticed that the vision statement does not address diversity.  How would you change it to include diversity in hiring?

3.     Understanding that the employees must actively work towards the strategic goals established, describe an activity that each of the members of the following teams should work on that are supportive of one of the strategic goals.

1.     Finance

2.     Marketing

3.     Human Resources

4.     Do our company strategic goals relate directly to our vision and values?  Why or why not?

5.     What should be added to the values to address the ethics of the business?

Your supervisor also asked you to use the internet and/or the Argosy online library to research a recent (within the last year) article that describes the current difficulties faced by healthcare companies regarding new or impending government regulations.

6.     Summarize the article you found in 1-2 paragraphs and explain how the concepts presented in the article could affect our company.

7.     Explain how the management of our company, using the mission, vision and/or values to provide guidance, should react to this issue.

8.     Why is it important for healthcare companies to keep current with the competition’s strategies and new regulations?

9.     Should a healthcare company rely solely on competitive research in developing their strategies? Why or why not?  Provide sufficient detail.

Create a persuasive visual communication campaign

Create a persuasive visual communication campaign

For the past year, you’ve been working to launch your start-up company. Now is the time for you to share your new business with prospective clients and customers using a persuasive marketing campaign.

Your start-up company can be anything you want it to be! Your company should offer a product, process, or service. For example, you might decide to create an app for a new game, an online athletic shoe store, or a language tutoring service for adults.

Your goal is to create a persuasive visual communication campaign using one “old school” medium (flyer, brochure, poster, newspaper advertisement, etc.) and one “new school” medium (social media post, social media cover/header, blog or website graphic, etc.). Use the same branding strategy to share one in two different ways.

Your persuasive marketing campaign should include the following:

Company name and logo

Name and brief description of product, process, or service

Why your audience should want to learn more (what’s in it for them)

Where your audience can go to learn more (website, email, phone number, etc.)

Be sure to consider the design elements such as text (including font size and type), visuals (including images, charts, graphs, etc.), color, and white space or empty space.

Important Reminder: Don’t forget to consider the audience and the medium. Your “old school” medium can contain more text because it is designed to be held and read by the audience. Your “new school” medium should contain less text because the audience will be quickly scrolling by it either on their computer, tablet, or mobile devices.

FBC A small hotel living outside the accountant to prepare the income statement after the end of each month. In the past three months shows that the amount of provision for bad debts has increased significantly in any previous month. The owner asks the accountant to verify the authenticity of all accounts receivable as bad debts over the past three months. Accounting found that the actual payment of a large number of accounts, and the contact person has canceled the check with the hotel stamps to prove this point. About three months before the new hotel bookkeeper was hired to carry all the records of the reservation, also served as cashier to receive and store cash received from the frontier cashier and handle, and deposited in the payment account receivable by mail.
