Smuttynose brewing company

Check out Smuttynose Brewing Company FB

The main cover picture is just a simple picture of the building and the profile picture is the logo. It seems to me that the cover photo could be something a bit more interesting to grab the viewer’s attention, and save a building shot for the photo album. On the page there are basic posts; one of interest happened on Friday the 13^th. They add humor to a post; which will engage viewers. They reference a classic horror movie, Friday the 13^th, but also advertise a brewery tour in the same line. As a horror move fan, it caught my attention. 

           Later in the page they adhere to the info, call to action, invitation to interaction model. Taken from the Facebook page, “Charley from New Mexico shot this photo while vacationing in Rockport, MA. Do any of the rest of you have any Summertime Smuttynose photos to share? We'd love to see them.” Added next to the post was a picture of the beer with a beach in the background. 

Overall on this page I think they do a good job at marketing their business. They use the basic Facebook post model, add pictures, even videos to get attention and activity on the page.

           The main issue was that the link to Facebook, on the website, leads to your own homepage and then from there you had to search the name of the business. When it brought you to the home page of the business there was no profile picture or cover picture. It seemed that they had created a Facebook but did not have anyone to post or add to it. Clearly this page does not do a good job marketing the business. However I did notice there was a link to Twitter, and that account was active and well used.

          This business is all about backyard bird feeding and little critters. Once you click the link to the Facebook page you see a huge picture of two birds and flowers. The profile picture again is the simple logo of the business. The posts are all centered around the hobby, bird feeding. The information section is nicely filled out, informative but brief. What is also interesting is that this business hosts a blog. It creates Facebook posts that entice the reader to click the link and visit the blog. They are definitely involving the audience, trying to grab interest but also advertise new products they have out. They do a good job marketing their products and trying to engage viewers that are coming to their pages and blogs. 

One of the posts adds a picture but also advertises for the business's blog. It reads, "The old wives' tale about birds and weather predictions might not be entirely true, but our avian friends still offer useful indicators of impending weather. Find out why and how below. Do you ever use birds to help you figure out future weather?http://blog.duncraft.com/2013/06/24/can-birds-predict-the-weather/"
