Week 1
Introduction – Using the SMART Framework 
Welcome to Week 1
Social media is no longer purely social or simply for personal amusement. Today, businesses and organizations around the world use social media, with its variety of platforms each with its own strengths and advantages, to enhance brands and product awareness, increase revenue, or whatever measure of success they want for their companies. To use social media effectively, you need a social media strategy. This week, we will learn about using the SMART goal framework that ensures your social media strategy is based on a plan that is specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound, and as a result, succeeds in its ultimate goal.

Good afternoon, Professor and Peers,
Happy 4th of July and the start of another (and my last) quarter!  My journey is like many of yours in its twists and turns, but I’m proud to say I’m in the home stretch of my academic journey.  Since starting school, I’ve changed direction from a double minor in marketing and project management to marketing and social media.  My goal is to help my partner build his paint contracting business.  Though I love project management, social media coursework would offer immediate benefits on this new path.  I believe this class will provide new insights and actionable strategies for building effective social media campaigns to attract new talent and build relationships within the community. 
I believe that most companies should have a Facebook page, if for no other reason than to offer basic company contact information.  However, I feel that companies should be active on Facebook based on their demographics.  Organizations should not attempt to be everything to everyone, and this is also true with social media.  Organizations should choose platforms based on where their audience is, not the size of the platform. 
One area where I believe having a Facebook page would not make sense is in the pharmaceutical industry.  I do not think pharmaceutical companies should market their products directly to consumers.  It is unethical to market prescription drugs to individuals who do not know how to vet the products’ efficacy or separate their claims from personal investment.  LinkedIn or another industry-specific network would make more sense for drug companies as their clientele are medical professionals.
