Website- Social Networking!

When researching my target audience I have previously mentioned that I checked my facebook to see the types of people that 'liked' the You Me At Six facebook page, as these people would be my 'facebook friends' I would have an even clearer insight into the whole target market. I identified that a larhe majority of my friends had liked this page which meant a lot of fans use social networking, also when searching the band on twitter I found that they had thousands and thousands of followers which is why I felt it would be a good idea to include social networking on my website. This would allow the viewers to feel more involved with the website and the band themselves.

 

I added a 'twitter feed' to my website. I linked this to You Me At Six's twitter account to make the website seem more realistic. This feed allows the fans to keep up to date with the band's tweets so they can find out what they have been up to and what they are currently doing. This feed also allows the viewers to 'join the conversation' if they have twitter. If they click this link this will take them directly to the band's twitter account shown below. Using social networking will draw in the attention of the target audience as it is something they are likely to be familiar with as Twitter is a very world-wide popular site so the fans are likely to enjoy this section of the website.

 

 



Also underneath the twitter feed I have also created another small link that allows the audience to follow the band if they wish to. If they are not already doing so this link will take them directly to the option where they can start following them. This link also states how many followers the band has which could influence the viewers to be one of them. This can be found below.  

I also added a social networking bar. This includes twitter, facebook and Google+. Again I have done this to attract the attention of my audience as they will all be social networks that they will be familiar with.
