THEIR GOAL
Increase Facebook Engagement
With a Facebook Page Like count plateauing at around 600 and seeing other competitors in approximately 8,000, Rona Lalonde set their goals to increase their social media proof and build upon their current authority in the home improvement retail space.
THEIR SOLUTION
Teaming Up With the Pros
Rona Lalonde called upon the marketing team at Allea Marketing, a digital design, lead generation and ad agency, to strategize how best to increase likes, post quality and position them for advanced marketing in the future.
Allea Marketing has proposed a step-by-step social media plan involving using a common design in post images, post schedule, and calls to action with engagement strategies such as giveaways, prizes and contests.
Engagement Through Giveaways
Allea Marketing set the plan in motion by creating high engagement posts with various posts about the store’s seasonal promotions with engaging copy and visuals taking into account the store’s branding guidelines.
Using contests and giveaways into a mix of posts on a monthly basis, Rona Lalonde was successful in reaching a higher audience both organically and using the sponsored post features. It provided Facebook with lots of activity from people making the post stay relevant in people’s feeds all the time.
With a budget of only $50 running for 10 days, we generated 398 reactions of shares and comments along with 263 post engagement clicks!
Boost It Up
Staying on top of social media is super critical for organizations who want to use social media platforms. With Facebook algorithm changes, it is extremely important to produce high quality engaging content in order to be seen in people’s news feed. Combining high quality engaging content with a boost strategy brings your game plan to another level.
Allea Marketing expertise in local awareness and laser targeting an audience based on Facebook interests provide the edge any organization requires to stay on top.
Rona Lalonde is certainly benefiting from these strategies, with a contest boosted post that generated a reach of over 16,874 people with over 1,174 reactions to comments and shares and 1,225 post engagement clicks!
