Begin assembling your reed diffuser by finding a suitable base container for the reeds. Look for a container that is about five to ten inches tall with a small opening made of ceramic, glass, stainless steel, earthenware or wood. Do not use a plastic container, as essential oils can react with plastic. A small opening at the top of the container ensures that minimal evaporation occurs. If too much water evaporates, the percentage of essential oil becomes higher, and the scent can become overpowering. If you have a jar with a cork top, you can also drill a hole in the cork. This is one of the best options for minimal evaporation. You can get creative by matching your diffuser container to the colors of your room or even decorating the outside of the container. Craft stores often have cheap glass bottles and vases in a variety of sizes. Purchase rattan reeds meant for oil diffusal, either online or in specialty health stores. Use new reed diffusers, as old reeds lose their effectiveness once they are over-saturated with oil. The reeds must be tall enough to stand well above the vase or bottle you chose. The reeds should stick out several inches or centimeters from the top of the container. Increase the scenting ability of the diffuser by using reeds that are double the height of the bottle or more. Ready-made reeds are usually sold in 10-, 12- and 15-inch (25-, 30- and 38 cm) lengths. You can also use bamboo skewers, but rattan reed sticks tend to disperse scent more effectively. Pick your favorites. Make sure the oils are of a 100% concentration, or else they will not have a strong enough scent. You can use just one oil, or pair two or more oils whose scents complement one another. Some classic essential oil pairings are lavender and peppermint, orange and vanilla, spearmint and patchouli, and chamomile and lavender. Lavender, jasmine, neroli and geranium are calming scents. Peppermint, rosemary, tea tree, lemon, basil, and ginger are energizing scents. Chamomile, orange, sandalwood, lavender, and marjoram are great for combating anxiety. A carrier oil is a neutral oil that combines with an essential oil to dilute it so that the scent of the essential oil isn't overpowering. Safflower oil and almond oil are common carrier oils. If you don't want to purchase a carrier oil, you can also use plain water mixed with a splash of alcohol that is at least 90% concentration. You can use rubbing alcohol, perfumer's alcohol, or vodka to mix with water as a substitute for carrier oil.

Q: When you first start your campaign, you'll likely just be posting content to grow your number of followers. However, you'll want to have goals other than just increasing your followers. This could be an increase in sales via posts, more positive reviews, or an increase in first-time customers. Increasing your number of followers is always a good goal to have in mind, but if your followers aren't interacting with your brand or buying your goods or services, you might need to focus on other aspects of your campaign. Using a service such as Google Forms or SurveyMonkey, you can create an online survey to send to customers. To do this, you'll just input your questions into the survey generator and send the link to your customers via email. You can also post the link on your current social media accounts. Include a multitude of questions about their demographics such as age, gender, and location. Ask about social media use by saying "How often do you like or interact with posts by brands on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter?" or "Which social media apps do you currently use on your phone?" Using the information that you gathered from your survey and your traditional marketing strategy, identify 2-3 platforms that will work well for you and focus on those. This will help your content reach people who are your targeted audience and are likely to become potential customers. Facebook is the most popular social media website overall, so if you're looking to reach a wide audience you should have a strong presence there. If your target audience is women ages 18-64, Pinterest is a great platform because women of all age groups tend to post there. Because you'll be doing a lot of social media marketing, which is aimed at customers on mobile phones, you'll want your website to be mobile-friendly. It's a good idea to hire a graphic designer or HTML expert to create this for you. Most social media sites will have a "website URL" section where you can insert this link for users to click when they visit your brand's account. In your posts, make sure you have a consistent tone and brand across all networks, even though you might share different content. Determine what kind of presence you'd like to have, whether it's witty, cute, savvy, hipster, or otherwise. An SEO professional does this on a large scale, and can help you manage your online business presence if you're struggling.
A: Outline your social media goals. Conduct a survey of your brand aimed at current customers. Identify the best platforms for your brand. Invest in a mobile-friendly website. Create a strong social media persona for your brand.

Article: Before every school year, your school should provide you with a list of the items you need for your grade. If you don't receive one of these before the school year begins, you can usually find them at supply stores like Office Max or Staples. The most common items for middle school include pens, #2 pencils, notebooks, wide-rule loose leaf paper, a 3 ring binder, and scissors and tape. Other materials you may need include a USB flash drive, a TI calculator, index cards, a weekly planner, and a stapler. You don't want to overload your backpack, so try to take only the essentials when you can. For example, having one binder separated into multiple subjects will help save you space compared to multiple folders. You should also try to take two pencils and two to three pens, as well as a highlighter, and your weekly planner. This way, the rest of your space can be dedicated to textbooks and notebooks. You'll have a better idea of exactly what you'll need day-to-day after the first week of class. If you have money for lunch, try to keep it zipped up in an inside pocket. If you don't have one in your bag, try to keep it in a change purse or wallet instead. This will help keep your money safe and together, so you aren't searching all over for it during lunch time. If you have a block schedule with different classes on different days, try separating your materials into marked piles. For example, you can mark everything for one day with a specific color like red, while the other day is blue. Then you can switch them out of your backpack when necessary. Now is the moment of truth; you want to make sure you can fit everything in your backpack and still be able to carry it. Chances are you'll have a locker you can store some things in, but you still need to be able to take everything to and from school each day. Put your binder, notebooks, textbooks, and pencil case in the main part of the bag - in that order. You should then put any extra materials into the front pockets. For example, your calculator, tape, stapler, even markers, and highlighters if they won't fit in your pencil case can go in your front pockets. The front pockets of your backpack are also a great place to keep items like chapstick, tissues, mints, or anything else you want to carry with you.
