Visual Social media platforms

Visual social media networks are great, since it can express a message or feeling instantly through an image.  Finding the right platform can be hard.  The business wants to be able to reach the right customers and followers while also being able to keep up with the social media through the uploading of pictures, blogging or posting items and events for people to follow.  The business owner can’t just start it and hope that people will keep returning but not seeing any new information.

In my small experience and exploration of discovery with visual social media platforms, the ones that I found to be the most used are Pinterest, Tumblr, Instagram and Flicker.

The ones that I think that will currently work for the business are Pinterest and Tumblr. Both require uploading of pictures and they are also about linking and following others with similar interests.  Due to the type of business, Instagram wouldn’t be a good fit at this point (maybe in the future) since there are events happening on a regular basis for the consistently photographing & uploading of images.  Although it does give the opportunity for growth and something to think about in the future.

To begin a new adventure… you must take the first step.
