During my spring semester at the University of Utah I have learned many amazing concepts and tools that are going to help me later in my professional career. I took an electronic marketing class 5460-001 taught by the wonderful Dr. Linda Ralston. Throughout this semester her class really has brought my knowledge above and beyond. As you may have seen mentioned in my portfolio before, I am a student majoring in Parks, Recreation and Tourism with a commercial recreation emphasis. I am hoping to get into the music industry planning music festivals and/or concerts. In my electronic marketing class we have learn many different programs and how to use them. For example, I am become proficient in Photoshop, which is an amazing program, and is crucial to know how to use it. You can use Photoshop for many different things, banners, posters, cover-photos, and many more. Also, not only can you use Photoshop to make these things you can size them to make them perfect and all results coming out of Photoshop are super awesome. We also learned how to make animations on Adobe Flash. This is also a really cool programs and these animations are a great way to spice up your website or perhaps a business presentations.
In my electronic marketing class we also learned about website standards, readability, usability, searchability, and accessibility. Not only is this important and relevant to my emphasis but these standards should be used in all emphasis areas. In our generation so much of life has turned to technology and online. Therefore abiding by these website standards is crucial. These standards could include your website design, to make easy to use and catch the viewers’ attention. Furthermore, you not only need to focus on the website itself, but also the HTML. You need to have a domain that is easy to memorable and easy to recall.
Social Media at the moment I believe is taking over the world. However, this is not necessarily a bad thing because in a lot of way it has made our lives simpler. What people need to understand is, instead of hating on social media, they need to join the bandwagon and update their social medias and keep them relevant and useful to consumers.
Social media is now a new way of communication. This a really cool concept because it is a new free way to build customer relationships. You can send a tweet to update you followers/costumers on new prices, new products, etc. You could also do a Facebook post, post an Instagram picture, etc. Social media is making it so easy to market and gain attraction to your businesses. Also, what I am personally attracted to is witty captions that follow the information they are trying to put forward. Social media is amazing and is definitely changing how we marketing and advancing our world.
