Week 3 Part 2

1. American Deluxe Barber Shop
http://www.americandeluxebarbershop.com/

American Deluxe Barber Shop has Instagram and Facebook listed on their website for their other social media platforms. As for Facebook, they have posted anything on there since April 3rd, 2016. But Instagram on the other hand, is used a least one a week on most weeks. In my opinion, I think they should use Facebook more as it has a lot of advertising elements.


2. Pacific Coast Barber Shop

Pacific Coast Barber Shop also has Instagram and Facebook listed on their website for their other social media platforms. Like American Deluxe, Pacific Coast also does not utilize Facebook either. Their last post to Facebook was on April 18th. As for Instagram they don't really use that platform much either. The last post to Instagram was on April 26th and seemed to only be used sporadically.


3. Johnny's Barber Shop

Well, there's not much to say about this one. On their website they didn't have any kind of other social media sites listed. I really think that is a bad more on their part. In today's world most everyone relies on social media for business listings and reviews.


4. Top Notch Barber Shop

Facebook and Instagram are both listed on Top Notch's website but they don't really use either. The last Facebook post from them was on September 11th, 2018. Instagram was last posted to on August 20th and before that was July 20th. They also don't seem to utilize their platforms.


5.  Short Cuts Barbershop
https://shortcutsbarbershop.business.site/

This business didn't have any social media platforms listed on their website so I really can't comment anything about their social media posting habits. However, Short Cuts does post "updates" on their website as if it were a social media site. Their last post was on August 31st and before that was August 23rd. They seem to post about 2-3 times a month which is not a lot.


After researching a ton of my competition, I have realized that the majority of the other Oceanside barber shops don't even have a website. I got lucky with being able to find the 5 that I did. I have also come to realize that I'm in pretty good shape as far as utilizing my social media platforms. I make it a point to post every day or at least 5 times a week. I believe keeping up with your social media sites say a lot about the type of business you are.
