Marketing Week 1

This week we met as a class to discuss the Little Italy Art Walk happening at the end of April.  My group was assigned to props for the photo booth as well as finding a photographer.  We have some fun ideas already, but if any of you guys happen to think of anything that you would like to see or you think would draw more people in, let my group know or feel free to comment here! :)  I think this will be a great event for UTsd and we can definitely help by getting more people there our age and from our campus.  Make sure to let your friends know that if they show their USD id at the booth, they will get some sort of incentive (still to be determined).  Maybe we can talk to other teachers at school and have them announce it to their classes as well.  As for today, I am now in the marketing department… YAY!  We all got assigned our topics and have to come up with a mini marketing plan.  I will be working on the social media pages (facebook and twitter) mainly trying figure out more ways to drive people to like the UT and DSD page, as well as research how easy these pages are to access already.  As most of us no there are quite a few pages out there, so I think condensing them into only a few would be much more beneficial to the company! 

This past weekend Connor and I worked the booth at the Crew Classic.  It was a really good experience, because it gave us an idea of what we will be doing at the Little Italy Art Walk and also gave us the chance to be interactive with the public.  I enjoyed meeting people and getting to know some of the employees better.  I liked that we got a chance to actually interact with people rather than just being in an office environment.  Hope you all have a Happy Easter!! :):)
