Week 7 Businesses I chose to like as my business page

Blog Post: List the businesses you choose to like as your page. Discuss why you chose the businesses you did. How might you use this feature of Facebook to grow your business?

The seven businesses I chose to like as my business page are; Hail Merry, Toesox, Wanderlust, Prana, Garden Goddess Organics, and Coola.
Hail Merry is a paleo snack company, myself and many of my clients struggle with health conditions that require anti-inflammatory diets and many people choose to eat that way as a lifestyle choice.  I love Hail Merry's product and would love to have them be a featured sponsor of my upcoming event; Lavender Fields Yoga, Meditation and Sound Healing Day Retreat.

I selected Hail Merry as a 'Featured Like' for that reason.

Toesox, also a 'Featured Like' is a locally based company and one whose product I use.  I love their product and my fondness for it has resulted in many of my clients becoming Toesox wearers and fans.  In particular, my yoga students with MS have embraced wearing Toesox.  Our MS yoga class, while promoted by the Southern California Chapter of the National MS Society does not receive financial support and they do not allow us to use the 501(c)3 for donations.  We struggle to have enough props to meet the needs of the students, and to finance the class in general.  I would love to find sponsors to support this needed and popular class that serves a number of people in the San Diego community with MS.  I think that Toesox could be a wonderful sponsor.

I added Bellies Inc as a 'Featured Like' to make it easier for my pre-natal mama clients to find their product.  It would be great for Bellies Inc to send me a sample to demonstrate what it is and how it is used in class.  I find that many of my first time mamas around 30 weeks start talking about belly strain/pull pains that this wrap system may help some of them with and none of them ever know about the product or wrapping techniques.

I selected Wanderlust as another 'Featured Like' because I have been an ambassador, now called waywarer of the Wanderlust events since they began.  As a waywarer it is my job to promote the Wanderlust 108 and Wanderlust Yoga and Music Festival in Squaw Valley.

Prana is another locally based company; this company makes yoga clothing and mats.  I use their products and feel they are very good quality.  I like Prana's commitment to being a sustainable, earth-friendly company.  I would like to promote my events to their local workforce.

Coola is another locally based company, they are a sunscreen company.  Since we are in San Diego and I teach outdoors and my upcoming event is outdoors I would love to invite them to provide samples and be a sponsor.

Garden Goddess Organics is another sunscreen company.  I have used and like their product and would also like to ask them to consider providing samples and being a sponsor for my upcoming outdoor event.

Cross marketing with all of these businesses would help me to reach more of my target market and to provide more value to my existing clientele.
