Week 8 The Two Polar Website Comparison

BLOG post part #1
Q1. See what visual social media they are using?
Runyon is using Facebook, twitter, Instagram, Google+, YouTube, and blogging w/ Word Press.
Contec USA is using absolutely nothing for social media (except for a financing link).
Q2. how they are using it?
Runyon Surface Preparation uses their Facebook page for sales and rental purposes. They provide brief descriptions and images of equipment along with links to larger images with comment fields for feedback. The Twitter links are being used for coupon codes, training seminars and links to other social media sites such as their Word Press site. What is interesting about their Google + site is that it launches the user back to Facebook, Twitter, etc.  and forward to YouTube videos. Now if you go to YouTube directly, Runyon has a library of “How To” videos and I’m not sure that they are all from the same company. Perhaps they are reposted from other popular sites on line but support the theme of the business.
Contec USA has no social media links but does display multiple web site pages and imbedded videos to display their equipment for sale in action. The site is hard to find and there is only one link to an equipment financing and payment estimator that takes you off the page http://www.advantageleasing.com/financing/financing-for-contec-north-america-customers
Q3.Is it effective?( Some businesses work best when they have visual support. Does visual media work for the type of business you have started)?
I have posted videos on YouTube in order to demonstrate our processes. I believe it’s easier to show what we do sometimes as opposed to articulate it over the phone or face to face. My hopes are to purchase an audio preamp for my DSLR camera and begin to post the most frequently asked questions about our business in a Vblog format.
