The social media I chose was facebook because it is the one I use most often. Since I chose this one, I was supposed to "like" ten companies who were related to my major (Apparel, Merchandising, and Design). After liking their pages I was then supposed to re-post ten posts to help promote the companies.
Some of the companies I chose were TOMS, Free People, Urban Outfitters, Express, ModCloth, Vogue, and Anthropologie. It was really simple to re-post their posts because they were featured on my news feed. Since there were a lot to choose from, I mainly chose the ones that were promoting a sale coming up or an informational post about the company.
By taking a part in social media week, I now have easier access to learn about companies related to my major. It also allows me to get the low down on what sales are going on. It is also a good way to spread the word about smaller companies/boutiques. My friends on facebook were able to learn about the companies as well and the sales that were going on if they were interested. One of my friends who is interested in fashion merchandising commented on a few of my posts and later she told me that she appreciated me re-posting the posts.
Overall, social media week was interesting but I really did not learn too much for it. I feel if we did more than just re-post posts it might have been more affective. At the end of social media week, I would say it just made my wall look like an advertisement from a magazine.
