FaceBook and “Freebies for Women” – Blog Post 2

Facebook and Twitter seem to be number one in helping companies market their products. It is hard to find a company that does not have a Facebook or Twitter account. Even churches, schools, universities and outreach programs utilize these social media.  YouTube is very big for them also, especially for videos. Everyone wants you to “Like” their page.

There is an Ad that I see on “Facebook” constantly and I would look at the number of” likes and comments” they have and think how far back does this go. How long has it taken them to attain those numbers? But when I consider the company and the product it may not take long to get the numbers.

“Freebies for Women” they are advertising that they are giving away Nike gym shoes, jackets, and other products etc.  I am not always on Facebook but for a time every time I went on one or a few of my friends was ”liking” “Freebies for Women” I almost went to the page but time constraints as usual compelled me not to.

I like free stuff but it usually requires more time and information than I would want to spend or give out there. I don’t have any problem with their marketing strategy, in fact, I think it is good. But for me I am leery of giving my information on websites that I am not sure of.  I’ve tried different sites before and get discourage by the questions they want you to answer. TMI, and there always seem to be layers of questions. You may want to get that 500.00 gift card from Wal-Mart by taking a survey but be prepared to spend hours and possibly more hours answering questions. And what if your computer shuts down or has a glitch, then what? It’s just not worth it unless that’s all you have to do.
