The Fashion Techie’s Summary

I am a a full time Professional Fashion Blogger and Social Media Consultant. I focus on interior design, art, retail, fashion, jewelry, style, beauty, lifestyle, and luxury items. I also help clients within my target audience with brand building and social media marketing. With over six year experience in the Information Technology Industry, I decided to merge my two loves together…fashion and technology.

I know from experience that the fashion industry can be hard! In the words of Heidi Klum, “one day you’re in and the next you’re out”. From blogs to bookmarking, ebay to myspace, Stylefeeder to Kaboodle, there are certain ways you can give your business a voice, promote your product online, recruit new customers, and start making a long lasting name for yourself. But with all the things on your to do list like attending fashion shows, finishing your line, and starting that new boutique, there’s little time to concentrate on the best and cheapest marketing strategy for any business, the internet.

SOCIAL MEDIA OPTIMIZATION

When a client wants to engage in social media optimization they can expect a number of things from me depending on their needs. These include social media outreach, research of new media venues (networks, blogs, user-generated content sites, etc.), managing profiles on social media outlets, commenting on posts and interacting with users, and providing feedback when needed. Through experience I have a three phase social media process that works!
