Cheap Chic Shopping Tours: Website Design, eCommerce, & Blog Integration


Cheap Chic Shopping Tours with Jess Zaino Website Design


This website design project was a fun challenge for us at Studio Pixelated. The business owner, celebrity stylist Jess Zaino, has a lot going on and wanted to consolidate it - fast - under one website for an awards show she was hosting.

DIRECTION FROM THE CLIENT
Jess maintains two different blogs, an ecommerce page at eventbrite.com that handles ticket sales of her Cheap Chic Shopping Tours, and reviews of those tours at Yelp. She wanted to point people to one website, representing one brand, that showed all of these websites under one visual roof and URL.

SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
  • Top nav stays put: When you come to the website from the main domain, www.cheapchicshopping.com, all websites open within the main navigation with the orange bar. The illusion is that you are reading Jess' blog, or the Cheap Chic Website blog, or are booking a ticket - all from within the Cheap Chic Shopping website. But really, those websites are displaying from within a frame at the main website.
  • Google Analytics keeps tracking: Google Analytics had been in place on the two blogs, and will remain tracking hits, even when those hits are coming from within this new shell of a website.

Tweetworking: How to Network on Twitter for Business

We offer group and private classes and strategy sessions. If you are interested in a specific area of social networking, SEO (search engine optimization), or best practices in developing your website, please contact Katie at katie@studiopixelated.com.

PRIVATE SESSION 
(3 weeks, meet virtually once a week)
TWEETWORKING: 
Networking on Twitter for Business
This private Twitter session is for the beginner-beginner who needs to understand how Twitter works, why it exists, who reads, why they read it, and the language that Twitter users tend to speak in. It is for the business owner who needs to market a service or product, and is timid when it comes to Twitter. Your teacher, Katie Hellmuth Martin, will hold your hand through the Hows and the Whys of Twitter. You will come away from your private session with a better understanding of how Twitter can work for you and your business. This is a series of three highly personalized one-hour sessions. When you purchase this package, contact Katie at katie@studiopixelated.com to schedule your 3 weekly sessions.


In this workshop, you will:
  • learn how to speak in 140 character blurbs
  • learn what your first tweet could be
  • learn how to understand tweets from others
  • learn what the @ and # symbols mean and what they do
  • learn how to maximize and optimize a tweet, and what that means
  • learn how to appeal to others
  • learn how to promote your services and products
  • complete small homework assignments to practice using Twitter
  • If your assistant will be using Twitter for you, you should still attend this class. You will need to know if your assistant is on the right track, and you will need to know what the heck he or she is talking about as they report back to you.

WEEK 1: Explore Twitter vocabulary, Twitter benefits, and how Twitter works from a technical standpoint and a strategic standpoint. You will establish an account so that you can start poking around Twitter. You may or may not end up using this account for your brand. During Week 2, you'll find out why. We will discuss your business goals. You will have a homework assignment. There will be homework.

WEEK 2: Report back with your findings. We will discuss who you have found to follow, and why. We will strategize if you should maintain your Twitter account as you personally, or as your business. We will discuss how your business goals can be addressed on Twitter. There will be homework.

WEEK 3: Based on your business goals, we will brainstorm a small campaign that you can embark on right now in Twitter. This campaign will be to promote one aspect of your business.

Price: $350


TESTIMONIALS
"Before I took your Tweetworking course I not only had very little understanding about the way Twitter worked, but I also had no idea how it could be used as an effective marketing tool. You taught me the language and symbols that everyone uses on twitter and you pointed out many details that I hadn’t even thought of, especially how to use Hootsuit

All of these details I learned are obviously very important, but the biggest benefit to working with you, Katie, was how you walked me through every detail. I liked the way you addressed the issues and my questions clearly and simply by going step-by-step. 
You were extremely generous with your time and support, and didn’t make me feel like my questions were too silly, which was extremely comforting. 

I can’t thank you enough for giving me a whole new view of twitter and how this form of social media can be used as a marketing tool. I now have a whole new awareness and confidence to tweet.  

Thanks again, Katie!"
