Landscape Marketer

I am starting to get my feet under me a bit now with marketing ideas for Landscape Concepts, Inc. here in Forest Grove. They wanted me to start a Facebook page and a Twitter account. I still am not the biggest fan of Twitter, but am starting to understand it can play a large role in viral marketing.

The first week I didn't do a whole lot, I created the ad for a sale on the front page of the website, posted it and updated the website. I also had to find the need software, Ebay became my best friend for a while and I eventually won the bid war!

This week I created the Twitter account and designed the background. Let me tell you that was not as easy I had hoped due to the different types of browsers used, I had to make as many pictures visible as possible and I think I got it after 6 attempts! I also got my first experience listing an excavator on Ebay. I decided to use Twitter to announce the selling of the excavator and my auction got over 40 more views during my 4 hours at work on Friday. I guess Twitter is a viral marketing strategy!!

The software came pretty quickly so I am now well prepared to create ads, brochures, newsletters and update the website.
