To do this we have to look at all areas of marketing, including online marketing, radio advertisements, print media, and email marketing.

With over two billion active monthly users, Facebook, has become one of the biggest sources of entertainment, news, and frustration on the internet! We were recently asked by a client if her account was hacked after she received several messages from friends saying they had received another friends request. After a little research, we came across an article by CNet “How to tell if your Facebook has been hacked (and what to do).”
We recently received two awards from the Internet Marketing Assocition for their IMPACT14 Conference. We were chosen as a Leader in Website Aesthetics and Social Media Campaigns. Weʻd like to thank the IMA for honoring us with this award!
We are experiencing a lot of change at A.S. Designs & Services lately! Back in January we told you about our move to a new location out of our Downtown Hilo location to a bigger office and have had nothing but positive feedback from not only our clients but our staff! First of all, Taryn Fowler, a long-time employee and friend will be moving on to pursue a new career and will be greatly missed! We are also happy to announce the addition of a new Design & Marketing employee.
As a company that does social media marketing for several businesses we are not new to Twitter. However, some of the things you can actually do with Twitter has thrown us for a loop! For instance, did you know you can use your Twitter account to feed your dog while away at work or out and about? You can also send someone a $5 Starbucks gift card using Twitter, which we think is why Matthew is so adamant about using the platform!
The Facebook community has been in uproar since the recent announcement of Facebook’s new Terms and Conditions that will take in effect January 1, 2015. Some of the new updates that have people deleting their Facebook accounts are GPS tracking every user from their mobile devices and sharing users data to third parties from advertising purposes, which by the way they already do now.
Most businesses are aware that social media and marketing are now working together as one. And just as business needs developers who create React Native apps, in the same way, they also need a strong social media presence to get their business a vast reach. One of the many social media outlets we recommend to our client is Instagram. Instagram, for those of you who donʻt know, is a mobile application that allows you to take pictures, edit them, and post them online for others to see. We thought it would be good to share a few of the tips we share with our clients about having a successful and professional Instagram profile!
What does it all mean???
According to Hawaii News Now, there is a new social network and mobile instant messaging app (iOs) for the emoji-savvy called of all things, emojli.
The creators of emojli, Matt Gray and Tom Scott, felt that there was a need for a spam free social network that can potentially cross the language barrier because there is, in fact, no language besides the emojis and they are the only allowable characters.
For those of you not familiar with what an emoji is, check out this article called “5 Things You Need to Know About Emojiʻs.” In the article you can see just how far up the emoji goes, including a petition from the White House for a hotdog emoji!
Would you use an app that used only emojis?
Ever wonder who is behind USA Todayʻs Twitter account? What about who (or what) is behind the Wall Street Journalʻs Facebook posts? We did too, until we came across this article that goes deep into what companies like ABC News, CNN, and the Associated Press are doing.
Having negative comments is going to happen. Itʻs part of what makes Facebook/Twitter such an interactive outlet for consumers. The key is not having the last word, but using the word “LAST.”
