Some tips and ideas for getting your micro brewery noticed on social media.

We've been supporting our local brewery's marketing now for just over 2 months and even we've been surprised at the results! This blog post shows some of the work we've been doing and we're only just getting started as once the new website is live we expect things to improve even further. After reading this blog take a look at the full detailed case study: Digital and social media marketing for breweries.

Here are some highlights (visual examples at the bottom of this page):
  • Running monthly giveaways to get more Facebook Likes and Email Newsletter signups
  • Promoting BBC1 Wales TV interviews using Facebook and Twitter
  • Maximising mentions PR in online and social media
  • Setting up Analytics tools to monitor traffic to marketing channels
  • Promoting events and PR opportunities

— Rob - Mogi Marketing (@MogiMarketing) October 29, 2014
The results have been the following:
  • Facebook Likes up over 185%
  • Twitter followers up over 124%
  • Email newsletter subscribers up by over 700 from 0
  • An increase in local and national brand awareness
  • Overall social media media marketing brand awareness up by 120%
  • Month on month increase in website visitors of 164%

Offline event marketing support

Design of fliers to help promote the beers of the brewery and also to encourage competition entries via a Facebook competition app. The fliers are suitable to be reused at a number of different events (such as beer festivals and markets) and also in restaurants and off licences. These have had a very positive effect in increasing Facebook Page likes and also email newsletter subscribers.

Maximising PR opportunities using social media

Below you can see one of the Facebook posts from the brewery's page relating to a mention within an article on an online newspaper. We made sure that we shared and promoted this as much as possible.

Using Analytics to track online marketing performance

Here you can see the Twitter analytics on a single tweet sent out relating to their TV interview on BBC news around the use of real oysters in their stout. This was fantastic PR that required us to maximise value by using social media to share the online version of the video:

Creating engaging email newsletters with a high open rate

Below you can see an example of the type of newsletter we've been sending for the micro brewery. The open rates have averaged 25% and 4.9% of people have clicked on the links within the email.

How HR and recruitment consultants can use Social Media to fill jobs and be innovative online

7/10/2014

0 Comments

 

How to effectively use social media for recruitment

We've been having loads of fun (and success) creating social media campaigns for South Wales recruitment consultancy Talk HR. By utilising social media to the max we have produced videos, managed Facebook Advertising campaigns and run online promotions to help fill specific roles.

If you're looking to fill a job role in a specific location please get in touch.

Here's some of the things we've been doing:
  • Facebook Videos with targeted advertising
  • YouTube videos to improve SEO
  • Facebook Promotions to collect CVs for specific jobs
You can read more about each of these by scrolling down.

Facebook Videos and targeted advertising for recruitment

Here you can see videos Mogi Marketing has produced for the Recruitment Company TalkHR and then uploaded them to their Facebook Page, the style is simple but engaging. It's not too long and is normally used in conjunction with Facebook Advertising to get the maximum views (in this case the job role was filled immediately so advertising wasn't required!). You'll notice that at the end of each video there is a link to the job role specifics too.

There is evidence that Facebook will be placing more and more importance on video in terms of the content it displays in the Facebook News Feed so now is the right time to produce and upload more video content.

Producing videos for YouTube

We were also commissioned to record video of a regular networking event the recruitment company holds. This particular event featured a talk by Manjula Bray, on psychometric recruitment and also one on performance management by masters student and TalkHR employee, Laura Carpenter. The videos were uploaded to YouTUbe and tagged correctly to improve SEO for TalkHR.

The marketing objective behind producing these videos is to increase search engine traffic and promote the regular networking events. In addition it creates a high quality image of the recruitment consultants as 'thought leaders' in their field.

Facebook CV collecting App - from within the client's Facebook Page

Mogi Marketing also produced a custom Facebook CV collecting application for TalkHR. This unique campaign used the Facebook developer platform to build additional functionality into the client's Facebook page to help collect CVs for specific job roles.
We also incentivised uploadding CVs by giving away an iPad. The app allowed following:
  • Collecting CVs for 6 specific roles
  • Increasing the 'likes' of their Facebook page
  • Offering a share functionality once people had uploaded their CV to post to their personal timeline (optional)
  • CVs exported automatically to the client's Dropbox folder
  • Optional ability of the CVs to go to specific email addresses depending on which role the user selects (useful for HR Consultancies with multiple offices)

Well now might be a good time as it will only cost you £225!

Many businesses don't have massive marketing budgets and some ideas get shelved because of the cost.

We get that, so we've reduced the price one of some of our managed Facebook competitions (using Facebook Apps) which is one of our most popular products.

Facebook apps are one of the best way's to increase the number of likes on your Facebook page as well as capture more information about your audience (such as email, likes or dislikes and interests).

Case studies are the best way we know to share what we do and the cognation project really shows what can be achieved.

We've been working with the Cognation for several years now and have found it immensely rewarding and lots of fun too as who doesn't want to go mountain biking as part of their job?

As well as the fun, we've delivered serious online marketing results. Take a look at the full case study to see what we mean.

Facebook promotional rules changes – 6 reasons to keep using Facebook apps!

17/9/2013

0 Comments

 
A week or two ago Facebook changed the rules on how you can run promotions (competitions) on Facebook making it now possible to run promotions on your page timeline something which you weren’t supposed to do before.

The change basically makes it easier to run short-term, low-key competitions but Facebook apps are still essential for when you really want to get the most from a promotion. Here are some quick reasons why:

  1. Using a Facebook app allows you to increase you Page likes (using something called a Fan Gate). Running a competition on your timeline is open to everyone, Fans and non-fans
  2. Facebook apps allow you to capture email addresses and other information such as age or town they live in. You can then use this (with their permission) to keep them up to date using email newsletters for example
  3. You can make the experience more customised and interactive using voting, slideshows and other integrated options
  4. You can incentivise ‘sharing’ something you’re not able or allowed to do on the timeline
  5. You can brand your Facebook app to your business to give a better feel to users
  6. An app allows you to write and host rules and T&Cs which is a little more fiddly and ugly on a timeline wall post
How should I decide what’s best for my business? Here’s what Facebook says:
How to decide whether to use a facebook app or not
In a nutshell, if you want to capture data, likes and run a promotion that asks users to interact more an app will give you a lot of flexibility to achieve this. However if you just want to do a quick promotion, where you’re not expecting a large amount of entries and are ok to pick the winner manually then using a page post might be good.

You need to evaluate your businesses’ goals and decide what’s right for you.

Here’s a useful PDF Facebook have produced with further information: Facebook Promotional guidelines
