Reflective #Selfie

It has been an intensive two days with much learnt that hopefully I can put into practical use in the my work and personal life. I learnt to look much more closely at the various forms of mobile and online markerting that we are bombarded with on a daily basis, to figure out what works and what doesn't from the view-point of the seller/business/organization and the buyer/customer/viewer, and most importantly why.

After #EXSM5513

My reflections

1. Great group of classmates who share their online marketing experiences
2. Pressure blogging - a great tactic to overcome writer's block
3. Marketers are finding new ways to intrude into our personal spaces - inbox ads and text messaging
4. Tips for effective email marketing
5. New tools to aid research (keywordspy.com) and presentation (Pinterest)
6. Design matters

Selfie day 2

I appreciated all the practical tips and best practices, especially on effective email campaigns. I can start applying this knowledge at my work immediately. Reviewing other companies' emails will help me to take a more critical look at the emails that I am sending. Thank you Jess!

Final Selfie!

It's been two short days and I've learned a lot! Many of the concepts that we've covered are things that I plan to implement in my work, such as sending out emails at certain times on certain days. 

I'm more confident on my skill set around social media thanks to this class!
