The beginning of the end...

Soooo. Last week was the last full week of my internship hours at the Conrad. Because I am completing my hours today, I decided to be a bit belated in my blogging and write today for last week and this week. Last week I worked on updating our social media to include pictures of our facility as well as pictures of our work. I also opened a Yelp business profile and created a Google profile page which you can view at the links included at the bottom of this post.

In addition to the work I did regarding social media, I also continued to work on building partnerships with businesses around the city. I compiled a list of possible partners with whom I have talked recently and included the contact's name, contact information, the website of the business (if available) and information regarding what the partnership would entail as well as details about my discussions with the contacts.


Along with my parternship write - up I also included a business pitch to our director regarding a business that I believe we should partner with. The pitch included the mission of the business as well as details of the work they do. Because the pitch deals with selling the company's product in our salon, I also included pictures of the product and an explanation of why I felt that the company would fit with our mission, vision and goals.



Today I am continuing to monitor our social media and make updates and I am working on getting things ready to continue with a few projects that I am currently working on. After my internship is complete, I will continue to work on our social media guide (when it is completed, it will have instructions for editing and updating our sites alongside picture guides to make it more visual). I will also continue to work on our website which, though launched, still has things to be added, completed, and updated.

  1. So, as you have been exploring business partners, how have you pursued that? Is it awkward to be building relationships with people just on a business level? Or now are you finding a medium between personal and business when making those relationships?
