The Closet & Social Media






The Closet is a local boutique that is almost five years old. They are a relatively new local business here in St. Augustine, FL. It is located at 51 Cordova St. The Closet is open Monday through Thursday 11:00am to 7:00pm, Friday and Saturday 12:00pm to 8:00pm, and Sunday 12:00pm to 5:00pm. They offer a variety of local and independent designers clothes and accessories as well as select vintage and consignment clothing.
            With being a relatively new business, social media is a must! The Closet does have a Facebook Fan Page that allows consumers to tag themselves when they are shopping in the store. The Closet uses their Facebook Fan Page to post special events hat they support, so the public will be made known about them, and they also post about new hot items being in their stores. One aspect I like about their fan page is that they talk about some of the designers they purchase from. They also have a yelp page, which is great for consumers to provide sufficient feedback about the clothing boutique for other potential customers to see.
They are on the correct path for being social media savvy, but I do feel they need a Twitter account. I also feel they need to provide their online fans with weekly or monthly specials which will essentially promote a social media a buzz about their local boutique which cause more sales and a repeat customer basis.
