Mind Map

A.What kind of media were used ?
A Facebook group was created for this market. People can join the group in order to sell and buy things that they need. This group is used solely by people in Rotterdam.

B.What are the results ?

It’s a good alternative to use because it’s free for everybody and has no selling fees. If you are looking for something special, you can post a question on the group and hopefully find someone else searching for your product and could possibly sell it for a little amount of money.

Sometimes it can happen that people want to rent a vehicle for the weekend, for example a car. With help from the Facebook group it’s easy to find someone who wants to rent out their car, in many cases the vehicle is already available through the ad service.

C.What is in your opinion about the function of social media in this case?
I think it’s very good to use Facebook as the primary social media for situations like these. Its ease of use and is free for everybody. I haven’t used this advertising method yet but I will probably do it. Because I will only be here in Rotterdam for six months, it feels wrong to buy a lot of gadgets, however is can be beneficial for me so that I can have a greater standard of living. If I were to purchase any gadgets, there would be an option with selling them before I left with help of the group.

The Facebook group task is to create the connection between people with different needs. A group of people selling products, and another purchasing.
