a picture is worth.....

In 2018 technology can be everything to a company, an organization or even just a grandparent wanting to keep up with their family members across the country. As time passes, more advances get made and more social platforms are created to express whatever emotion is trying to be conveyed to the anticipating audience. With this, have you ever wondered what types of pictures work best for each social platform and in what situation? 

Many social networks have dual uses for both personal and business. Not only this, but there are often times tutorials on how to use these platforms as well. This is a good start for separating which photos go into which. Albeit "totes adorbs," its maybe not appropriate to post pictures of your child covered in macaroni on your business account. (Maybe exception would be if your business is selling macaroni?) There are many organizations that offer both free and paid trainings on how to use social media to boost your company.

Often times websites can fall to the wayside when not properly managed. Information can quickly become out of date, pictures can become irrelevant and passwords quickly expire. There are lots of companies that can build a website for you and manage it too! Many times you can fill in small bits of information and the web developer will do the rest.

So, how does all of this relate to pictures? That depends on what message you are trying to send. Are you simply texting a funny meme to a friend or posting an advertisement for an event on your website? Its always important to know what the reason for a picture is because its worth a thousand words and can last forever.
