Week #13B - Facebook Ad Options

The advertising that my business could use, I feel, should be mostly unobtrusive and not invading on the overall message and feel of the business itself. As a primarily medical/therapeutic option, I feel that going in too much on advertising could feel cheap and rude, as it draws away from the impact that the software is supposed to have.

Ones that I would try in particular would be simple ads on the sides of the Facebook page - right column ads in particular, and infrequently in the News Feed on the main page. Both of these offer the option to see the ads and interact with them if the user so chose, without directly interrupting their experience. I wouldn't want to place any ads in the Videos, as that could interrupt the viewing process and distract the user from checking out what the intent behind the business is. Video ads are a huge detriment in the enjoyment of a video, and I want the focus to be on the product, not on something else coming in mid way.

Week #3A - Communication

Trying to get the attention of a business can be one of the hardest things imaginable - I know from personal experience! Most of the time, you're routed into automated voice messages and solutions that you've tried before, and it takes forever to get in touch with another real person to try and have your problem even acknowledged, let alone looked at. It's a real hassle - but thankfully, with the advent of social media, those problems are...alleviated, at the very least. Social media - especially Twitter, in this case - does make it easier to get noticed. Tagging the customer service account for the business in question - or even people you know who are employed there -can help raise awareness of your issue. On top of that, others with the same issue come out of the woodwork to report on it as well, adding their voices to yours. These sorts of waves can draw the attention of even the higher ups in a business, which usually leads to an elevated state of trying to get the p...

Week #11A - Email Marketing

1. I think a monthly newsletter would be best - things like updates on how each project is going, what's coming down the pipe, and information about upcoming deals and sales. I don't believe enough progress would be made week to week to fill a weekly newsletter, and quarterly would be too infrequent for my tastes. I like it best myself when a developer is open with what's going on, and a monthly or bi-monthly newsletter could keep people in the loop without overwhelming them, or taking too long between. 2. I think ExposVRe could absolutely make good use of a newsletter. Release updates, project summaries, deals, sales, all that kind of stuff would be great content for a regular newsletter release. Release updates let people know what's coming out, when it's coming out, and what to expect in each update. This gives people a clear view of what they can use the software for. Project summaries let people know what's going on and what's the scope of each pr...

Week #8B - Get Visual 2

Visual media is vitally important for a business like the one I've decided to create. Being a visual form of media in and of itself, VR is greatly improved in the eyes of the consumer when you can see examples of the product. This includes, but isn't limited to, video and screenshots! These sorts of things can provide concrete evidence of progress and functionality, and are key to making sure people support and enjoy the concepts being put forward. Having a wide array of visual media for anything related with VR is great, especially if you can show both in VR and out of it - what a setup might look like in a psychiatric office, in my case, for example. https://www.vrstudios.com/  - Facebook last post Oct. 2 https://unity3d.com/company  - Instagram last post Sept. 30 https://www.livelikevr.com/  - Instagram last post Feb. 5 https://subvrsive.com/  - Instagram last post Sept. 19 While none of these companies do exactly  the same thing as ExposVRe, they are ...
