Marketing Plans + Deliverables

• Website?
  • Notion? Should we create a separate site?
  • Should we get a domain?
  • notes
    • wdd has a site, one con is that you'd have to pay for the domain and renewals every year, might get complicated
    • how much is it to buy figma.com ?
    • all files will be on figma community
    • having our own website could be secondary, could keep in mind for the future. might not need it right now
      • if notion, could just link to everything relevant (slack, figma acc, etc)
    • nice-to-have, esp if continuing past this semester
      • could work on this progressively thru the semester and have it up by next sem
  • for now: some kind of basic notion page with hotlinks to anything relevant, plan for a separate site in the future (maybe as a summer project)
    • let's just have a bitly :)
• Social media accounts
  • Pros: may be easier to expand, helps break out of facebook friends bubble, easy place to direct people to
  • Cons: have to consistently keep up with it (or not??)
  • Posting schedule + content?
    • Advertising
    • Sharing student work
  • notes
    • instagram actually does help, just feels awkward posting a lot then going silent during semester
    • might be nice to have someone in charge of it / tasked with scheduling
      • doesn't have to be super often, can just post if somethings going on
      • Maybe we can Make some Reels :3 — rachel
    • having a facebook page might help at least during enrollment
      • similar issues to ig
      • if there's 1 or 2 people running the pages that would help!
    • We Should Have Them. don't know how else we would market
      • would rather have them than not
    • instagram + facebook
