Tuesday April 13th: Uploading Content for Social Media

Today, I updated more information on the KOCT Facebook Fan page for all fans to stay connected with the content that KOCT wanted me to put on. I also tried to network to a various amount of other business located in Oceanside to gain more fans. The overall objective of using this type of Social Media is to promote to a younger audience. The fans have been exponentially rising, and with some success of fan interaction, I believe our goal of gaining at least 1,000 fans is not impossible.

Art after dark is a yearly event that is more geared towards the younger generation. With a 25 dollar admission fee, 20 dollars for OMA members, a person that is 21 years or older can drink wine, eat food, and enjoy the latest in contemporary movements of art.
