The social media


Social Media and My Business
                The social media is becoming more and more of a necessity for all businesses nowadays. People all over the world are connected to some sort of social media. Facebook and twitter are one of the most used social media tools being used by business around the world today. For my business I know I’m going to have to be an effective user of the social media because I would need to get connected to people around the world. Getting people involved locally will help my business directly because I would need to address those concerns as soon as possible. Globally, I would need to get people involved in my business because I can learn a lot from the trends going on around the world. Trends can be very helpful to my business because I can see what I need to change or make better.
                The social media world is also good because I can let people know about new products fast and spread it out to everyone around the world. Nowadays people want the latest updates and they want to know it right away. Facebook can increase my fan base and twitter can be used as my primary source for getting my information out there ASAP! Even websites for putting pictures up or for blogging can increase the information about my company in an efficient manner. The world is changing and so is technology and also how information is being sent out to our consumers. In order for businesses to thrive in this type of environment, we need to have the latest technologies and used them to their highest potential.
                Every business should be constant users or the social media if they want to be successful. Social media is the best way to advertise products and to get people informed. People are always looking to get others to understand what a new product is and how it will be utilized so these social media website are gateways to a better understanding. More specifically, the social media will benefit my company because I can get people information about the next top prospect and put him on a spotlight for scouts to see. This will give my company more credibility because parents and teams will trust my company to promote their team to the other parts of the country. Advertising a school more can be beneficial to the school because they will attracted better players and parents will know about school outside of their local area.

The New Sports Innovation


Saving the Sports World
What if we had all access to high school athletes from all around the world and would report them and only them for 24 hours a day!? They will all be going fame craze right? A lot of sports channels neglect high school athletes mainly because they might not be as well known as professional athletes are and they aren’t playing for anything special. Sportscenter reports all sports and when they find a well known athlete in high school they’ll report them. But creating a sports channel for high school students allows for more publicity to younger athletes and gives them a chance to shine in bigger lights throughout their season. Most games are reported during playoff season, but some games might have more significance during the regular season as well. The set up can be the same as Sportscenter such that there will be big games hosted in the main channel and other big games in other local channels.
Sports fans can see what’s going on in the sports levels below the professional ones and can have something to look for when these athletes get older. Recruiting will be so much easier because more athletes will be able to showcase their special abilities. There won’t be one big athlete that will take over everybody’s chance in joining a good college team. Scouts from New York can check out a kid from California, live and without any speculations from other scouts. This company can exist because college teams and sports around the world are always trying to find how they can make their programs better. The better they recruit, the better it is for them to build a stronger team. Some people might think that making a high school sports channel won’t exist, but I believe that making this will help small schools around the world make a name for them. Communities around the world will also feel a sense of pride. It gives kids that can’t a afford to go to a showcase a chance to show that they are better than the rich kids who parents have paid for professional trainers to improve their skills.
People around the world will see how a typical high school athlete lives and the stresses that come along with it. In the show there will be interviews with high school athletes and controversial arguments to compare teams and players. Social media will be a big part of the channel because I would want everybody to get involved and shout their opinions. The name of the show will be named “Sports High.” This name is simple and automatically gives the impression that people can be “high” on sports and it also explains exactly what it is, which is: high school sports. Also the initials spell out SH which can be used as a slogan mechanism because we don’t think of high school athletes as big athletes so by using the expression SHHHH to describe them will make sense because we’ve exposed everybody to this well known secret.
