Marketing is crucial when it comes to business and making your brand known to have more customers. Customers are a huge priority because they are what mainly keeps you in business therefore you need to be able to cater to them and know what it currently trending. “Who, what, when, where and why” are important when it comes to what you should be marketing especially on social media since technology is such a huge part of life in this generation.

Personally, I would say I am loyal customer with Target. Whenever I need something, I usually go straight to Target. I get all my personal items there, makeup products and sometimes food. My friends and family all love Target as well. They like their clothing department and they have their own brand “Boots and Barkley” that is affordable and cute clothing. There is an on going joke about Target that whenever you go there, Target lets you know what you need because you always walk out with more than you had planned on purchasing.
