Website Design and Social Media
Hi Neighbours!
I would like to introduce myself. My name is Marina Kere and I own KDM Digital. I have previously worked in marketing roles at local companies and online promoting products through my personal platforms for the past 4 years. Also, I am currently in my last year of my Bachelor of Commerce Majoring in Marketing and Front-End Web Design studies at NMIT.
KDM Digital is a company in Nelson Tasman NZ that raises awareness for businesses online through digital channels such as social media management and website design.
I have noticed that many businesses are still not using websites and social media pages to promote their business effectively where there is potential for these companies to reach a wider audience to further grow their businesses, create brand awareness and increase sales.
88 percent of consumer pre-research their buys online before making a purchase either online or in-store. This highlights the importance of having an online presence through social media and websites.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
