Week 12 Part A: Using Business Specific Online Tools
Since
deciding to launch PUNTO VERDE, I have realized the importance of
leveraging digital tools to structure my business, connect with clients, and
establish my presence in the market. Exploring different options, I see how
each one can help me grow my venture in unique ways.
For
managing remote projects and communicating with clients, online
collaboration tools like Trello and Slack prove invaluable. They allow me
to organize tasks, share ideas, and maintain an efficient workflow, which is
essential for designing outdoor spaces tailored to each client's needs.
Professional
networking is key to building my brand, and LinkedIn helps me connect
with other landscape design experts, business owners, and potential clients
interested in sustainable solutions. By joining relevant groups and sharing
insightful content, I position myself as a trusted professional in my field.
Another
powerful resource is MeetUp, where I can engage with communities of
entrepreneurs and sustainability enthusiasts. Eventually, I may even host
events to showcase my vision for landscape design and attract potential
customers.
Managing my
business reputation is crucial, so I make sure to utilize Google My Business
and Yelp to collect and display customer reviews. Encouraging clients to
share their experiences not only builds credibility but also helps attract new
opportunities.
Visual
content plays a major role in engaging audiences, and TikTok and Instagram
Reels open the door to dynamic storytelling. Through short videos, I can
showcase my design projects, share landscaping tips, and expand my reach to a
broader audience.
Each of
these tools brings me closer to establishing PUNTO VERDE as a
well-recognized name in landscape design. By strategically applying them, I
strengthen connections, highlight my services, and create a community focused
on beauty and sustainability.

ReplyDeleteI think this post sums up a good, selective majority of online business tools that you use! I was not aware of ones like Trello and Slack before reading this blog in particular. I also am not a personal fan of LinkedIn but its awesome to see that it is one of your main tools! Also the pace of this blog is very nice! It's short and straight to the point, but still gives us the information we need!
ReplyDeleteI love how thoughtfully you’ve mapped out the tools you’re using to build PUNTO VERDE—it’s clear you’ve put a lot of intention into each choice. Trello and Slack sound like a great combo for staying organized and keeping projects running smoothly, especially when you’re tailoring designs to each client’s needs.
ReplyDeleteLinkedIn and Meetup are both smart moves for networking. I can really see how connecting with like-minded professionals and sustainability-focused communities would support your brand’s mission. Hosting your own events down the road sounds like a great way to build deeper connections and showcase your vision.
The use of Google and Yelp for reputation management is so important too—client reviews are often the first thing new customers look for, and it’s great that you’re making that a priority.
And TikTok and Instagram Reels? Perfect for a visual brand like yours. Sharing tips and showing off your projects through short videos is a great way to inspire people and grow your following.
Even though my focus is different, I can take a lot from this—especially the way you’re using each platform to serve a specific purpose. Your approach really shows how powerful these tools can be when you use them with a clear strategy and a strong sense of purpose.
