When it comes to my specific niche that I want to aim my business towards, I am selecting a small, yet competitive target market. Ideally, since I am starting a Mindset and Life Coaching business, my desired target market is 25-40 year old women. These women most likely are interested in self-development books/ information, have knowledge with social media and the internet, make over $85,000 a year, are motivated, and want to willingly improve themselves. I need to come up with a way to make my business/services unique from all the other life coaching that is offered to that niche. It probably has something to do with how I deliver my message to my client, what my message I deliver is, how credible I am of the information given, and how I am different than my competitors.

For this weeks assignment, I have decided to pay closer attention to the Hungry Bear Deli and Subway websites. They are both sandwich shops, but not entirely similar when it comes to their specified niche. When it comes to the basic observations, Hungry Bear Deli is most likely targeting middle-older aged adults who are looking for a gourmet sandwich spot to eat for lunch. On their website they promote high quality and fresh ingredients. Subway on the other hand is targeting children, families, and a younger college audience who are trying to get fast and easy sandwiches. Their website also mentions fresh veggies and smarter nutrition. I would assume Hungry Bear is aiming towards male customers because of the sandwiches looking more meaty and large portioned. While subway is aiming for female and male customers who are wanting slimmer and more simpler sandwiches, preferably easier to eat on the go. There is definitely a crossover between the two different customers, such as they bo

  The two websites I visit frequently are  https://www.amazon.com/  and  https://www.gymshark.com/  .  The reason I visit Amazon is because I am a Prime Member and I alway find the best deals through their site. Their site is effective because it offers customers many benefits to be a Prime member, even if you're not you still get great deals, and the orders usually come within a few days. The site has complementing colors and contrast that keep the site simple yet, interesting. Amazon includes "recently viewed" items on their home page and near the bottom of each page, which helps the customer remember what they were looking at. Also, they have recommended items, free movies with Prime, gift ideas, and their search bar is very useful because it has suggestions when you type something in. The reason I come back to Amazon's website is because I enjoy using it as my primary search engine to find whatever I may need. Also, it helps when I need to reorder items

Jami Lin http://jamilin.com/ It would help if Jami fixed these problems by narrowing down her niche and knowing exactly what she wants to offer her audience. It would be easier to look at if there were 1-3 links leading to other informational pages about her product or service that are most crucial for them to be advised of. Also, sticking to a certain color pattern throughout the whole site would be beneficial to the reader and easier to read while scrolling around. Gates N Fences http://gatesnfences.com/ Gates N Fences has a busy website, with too much text going on, especially on the homepage. The colors throughout the site don't completely go together and create a color clash. There are images all over the site, not necessarily next to related information, causing the site to look too crowded. It would be helpful if the pictures were correlated to the text that is stated on the site. Also, there are too many links going down the right side of the page and even tho

When it comes to communicating with a business, I feel that having a strong customer service team is essential to keeping customer's satisfied. Since calls are always being made to businesses, there needs to be a number of staff ready and available to answer any and all questions that customers may have about the products and/or services. With that being said, I still find it difficult being able to communicate with many businesses over the phone and even through their social media pages. Depending on the situation, the best way to get in touch with businesses is going to their store and talking to the staff in person. Although, I personally think it is very difficult to get in contact with staff at the Apple store, over the phone and in person, because they are always so busy with customers that it could take a while to speak to anyone. And even after speaking to someone, the problem may not be solved for another few days if they're booked with appointments. Social media to
