Laura Stude, Famous Footwear
- 1. Facebook ads are great for fan acquisition, but the campaign needs to be efficient.Target and test many different types of creative to refine future efforts.
- 2. Don’t be a “sales factory” on Facebook, have fun with your fans! Users “like”your brand to increase engagement, don’t abuse the opportunity with excessive sales pitches.
- 3. Ask if the fan you are pursuing online is the same as your offline fan. If your target consumer on social media is different, adjust your message.
- 4. A successful social media strategy should be interconnected with your other marketing efforts. This integrated approach proved highly effective for Famous Footwear.
Marketing efforts should be Interconnected
- 5. Use a personal approach for communication on social. Fan connection to the brand is stronger and the dialogue mis ore productive when users know a real person operates the account.
