14th week

After having a break during Christmas I decided to start getting back into a routine and going to the gym as I’m feeling a little lost. I find this helpful to get to sleep as well as being able to release any stressful obstacles I have to overcome. I made sure last night I worked extra hard at the gym so I’d be asleep by 11:30pm and up by 7:30am… and here I am 10 minutes early to the seminar (wit woo to me)
Today we have learnt about how important it is to collect data because it can improve the business as we can their target audiences needs and wants. It’s also been a seminar of common sense on how to present data. This is because it needs to be clear such as having the same colour columns for a bar chart as it can cause confusion for the reader. 

We also touched on the point on customer personas. This is because they help to understand their buying behaviours, the situations they may be facing and how to overcome them. They help the business produce new products or improve these products to match the customers needs and wants. One of the tasks was to briefly create a few personas if we had already collected our data. However, as I’ve been a bit confused and at times stressed because we still don’t have any responses from our questionnaire after posting around different platforms for a week! I quickly decided to act upon it and ask Mark…
Tips that mark mentioned:
·      Instead of posting it on the websites, inbox the website individually so they can post this on their wall. This was very useful to know as it means the people will be more inclined to follow instructions from someone who they’re familiar with rather than a random person
·      Ask the class parents, this is something I didn’t even think about! Both Nicole and Abi are from Manchester and have relatives with children where they can spread the word
·      Put the audience in the drivers seat: we need to know what the audience wants thus selecting the right narratives language, visual and graphic devices that will capture their attention

Mark knows best!
