@LKnight002@LaurelAynne Hey! I totally love the idea of being able to virtually see animals at the aquarium! I didn’t even know this was a thing, i’m definitely going to check it out. #WVU389#ICMKTG
@LaurelAynne 2. This inspires me as a marketer because there is a market to reach out to for at home workouts if people don’t like going to the gym after this quarantine is over. Some people also prefer the comfort of their own home rather than the gym. #WVU389#ICMKTG
@LaurelAynne 1. I see people have really been taking working out seriously and have been making their at home workouts and posting them on social media. This really motivates other people to do the same! #WVU389#ICMKTG
@MSabbaghh@AlexaKaye3@pizzahut Hey Mohammad! I love this example because @pizzahut is also enforcing people to stay safe while also delivering pizza. In this time it is most important to stay safe and healthy! #ICMKTG#WVU389
@LaurelAynne 2. A local business that is utilizing promo gift cards in the Morgantown Beauty Bar. They are doing a $150 gift card for $100 on their instagram which people can get discounted services when they open back up on May 1st! #wvu389#icmktg
@LaurelAynne 1. Brands should stay as active on social media as possible since consumers will also be very active on social media platforms bored at home. Brands can have contests to win gift cards for when they reopen or posts that people can repost to stay positive. #WVU389#ICMKTG
@RTesarck@LaurelAynne Hi Rachel! I totally agree! Like you said, podcasting will never take over traditional media but podcasting is on the rise and podcasters are beginning to get compensated and are fully aware the influence they have. #WVU389#ICMKTG
@rlbwvu @JennLStevens Hey Rachel! I totally agree that this trend is a fad that happens every couple of years. This was a great example of that!! #ICMKTG#WVU389
@JennLStevens 2. I remember when I was little I had Jolly rancher lip gloss and also a candle! This year I saw @Starbucks flavored chapstick that was made to look like a starbucks cup! Very creative !! #icmktg#WVU389
@JennLStevens 1. I believe this marketing strategy is a fad because it does come around every few years. I think that this strategy is seen more in a younger targeted age group rather than older due to candy or fast food. #WVU389#icmktg
@cremeans_josie@LaurelAynne Hey Josie, good point! I totally agree and if a commercial has too much going on it becomes unattractive and less interesting! #ICMKTG#WVU389
@LaurelAynne Brands can definitely stand out and have more of an impact by using celebrities or influencers in their commercials. I know personally if I see a celebrity that I am familiar with I pay more attention to it. Also my favorite was @Google with the old man talking. #ICMKTG#WVU389
@LaurelAynne I think the trend of sustainability will be very common in the year of 2020. Consumers love the idea of environmentally friendly products and also brands that promote sustainability. One brand that I think does this very well is @Reformation with their sustainable clothing.
@Sierra_Mist_16 @AlexKrallman I totally agree! Instagram is known for gaining followers and likes and to take one of these features away might put this platform in jeopardy. #ICMKTG#WVU315
@AlexKrallman 2. Taking away this feature can change marketing strategies by having people needing to look more at how many comments that specific person has or how many followers they have. #ICMKTG#WVU315
@AlexKrallman 1. I believe this new feature will be good for consumers who are self conscious about their posts so they can express themselves more creatively and freely. But I do think it may hurt business and influencers as well. #ICMKTG#WVU315
@JefferyColvin1 Hey Jeffrey! I love the Audi commercials too! All car commercials are nice to watch with christmas music in the back and a nice deal on a new car! #icmktg#wvu31
@JennLStevens 2. I love the @Macys Chstimas commercials every year. It reminds me that it is my favorite season and I love shopping. They always have the best sales and walking in the stores during the holidays is so fun especially the one on 34th st in NYC. #icmktg#wvu315
