Is This Thing On? Who’s Got Time for Social Media?

Jan 5

Hi! I hope you enjoy reading this blog post. If you’d like to have Pfeifer Design help you with your social media content or strategy, please click here.

Do you ever wonder... is this thing on? Why do we like and scroll? How do we connect, and why do we need to/have to/want to?

My good pal introduced me to instagram, even before my kids were on it, saying, "You'll like it- it's artsy". And I did like it! I liked posting my artsy pictures to share! It was fun to share them with my handful of other Insta-savvy photo-sharing friends!

Then entered Social Media Marketing for Business - aka - some smart person realized that you can tweak the use of this fun photo sharing social media thing and use it as a tool for business. Same goes for Facebook, which started for me as a way to reconnect before my high school reunion, and send pokes, stickers, and "karma" - remember that?

So now we do. Do you? Do you enjoy it? For me, it has it's ups and downs, but I do recognize my own tendencies to take more of a personal interest in the businesses and people that consistently show up on this platform, especially those that bring something useful or fun to the table. It's still more fun for me to post my artsy pics on my private account, but here, for Pfeifer Design, I hope to connect with my clients, friends, future clients, community and fellow designers, and as a sole proprietor, it feels good to feel connected, share what I'm working on, interact, and sometimes feel self-conscious doing so. But I think that's ok- I'm playing the social media game, and as long as I'm still enjoying it, I think that's the plan!

That's my fill in the blanks to my ....?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What's yours?

Below are some recent posts that I’ve had a little more fun giving a glimpse into my personality through my content.
