Week 12 | Business specific online tools

For a batting cage facility, the following online tools will be beneficial for The Farm batting center: 

  • Linked in
  • TikTok
  • Yelp
These three online services would be helpful to any business but useful for the batting cage business. I would use linked in to connect with other batting cage businesses, professionals in the baseball industries, and agents and players in the different leagues.  All these people on linked in would be very helpful not only for my business but for future athletes of the younger ages trying to take this sport to the next level.  That is what is important to me as a manager of a batting cage is making sure I can get my athletes to the next level.  

TikTok is useful to the batting cage business as I can have the players moving up in the sport advertise for themselves and my business through TikTok videos.  Baseball videos on Tiktok you can do videos of drills, home runs, top defensive plays, and the facility.  All of which can be advertisements for the Farm batting cages. Advertisement for the business through Tiktok with a little flair of Christian beliefs which is huge to me making the facility about christ and baseball.

Yelp is a great way to have customers and patrons of the business to let you know how their experience was at your facility. And this way you as a manager can address any concerns or issues and even better your business.  It will also help you hear what the people do like about your business.  The downfall to yelp is not everyone yelps the good but you can count on everyone yelping the bad.  It is how society is but it will help you build a great business and correcting any issues of concern.

Assignment 1 Why I Chose what I did

Let's discuss the reason I choose to use the wood them background first and foremost.  It was a simple decision for me to choose this over all the other different options.  I have a strong connection with wood since my early childhood till now.  I grew up watching and helping my father always doing something with wood, he gathered so much peace when he would be out in the shop working on anything with wood or building different things out of wood.  To this day, I remember one of the first things we made together and it was a desk for my room to put my computer on and play my games.   The desk was fitted and mounted into my room to perfection using one corner of my room along the wall to the door to my room.  We were in the room with the stud finder and we made sure we located every stud in the wall so we knew exactly where the weight-bearing support would be located.  the desk was just the perfect height for me to sit in my chair and reach every bit of the desk without barely havin

Week 12 | online marketing tools

Online tools useful for business, would be Facebook, Instagram, Google ads, yahoo business, and even youtube.  All of these things have different advantages for business but I really think that using each one of them to better a business is necessary.  I would use youtube videos of defensive drills, batting tips/tricks, and coaching tips. Youtube videos are everywhere, on each of the different social media pages there are links to youtube.  That is one advantage of youtube because they are on all kinds of social media and even just any website. I would also start a business blog for the farm and just on every other day, blogs can be so helpful for so many things.  Drills, exercises, and talks about baseball/softball, and hopefully that way I communicate what I need to get out to the youth of the world of baseball.   I also would use Facebook, every single day to help promote the business. Facebook I have found so many things on there that I have bought. I can only imagine how much busi
