P r o p r i e t a r y & C o n f i d e n t i a l
Based on an analysis of Facebook activity on corporate pages for the top 50 restaurants and top 50 retailers (using fan
counts) compared to a sample of 190 local pages from different brands and local companies. Time period was May 1,
2011 to October 31, 2011. Active Fans % = number of fan posts and comments/total fans
Why local market pages make sense:
Local Has Higher Engagement - Active Fans %

BI = Business Intelligence
Streamline process (if content strategist have access to see what’s performing well with other locations)
Conversation audits are important to establish a baseline but then you need to shift thinking to conversation pulse scorecards
Near real-time competitive intel, who are the top performers, what content is resonating the best for our target
Work smarter, not harder
Talk about meeting an “unspoken” need
Zappos claims that users are 13 times more likely to share a purchase on Pinterest than on Twitter or Facebook, and Will Young, director of Zappos Labs, the division who created PinPointing, speaks to the app’s potential:
Social shopping is a total buzzword that people throw around, but I don’t think any big brands have cracked it. When we talk to people and ask what they think is the best social-shopping experience, they say Pinterest, and it’s not even a retailer.
Can PinPointing transform Pinterest from a ‘wish-list’ to a retailer?

Location - Why Tumblr? Huggies Milennial Moms target was there.
“Right after we launched it, the growth of the following on Tumblr outpaced our Facebook page: 67,000 page views compared to 13,000 page views during the launch period. Since then, things have leveled off a bit....” Steven Strubbe, Associate Brand Manager and Digital Lead, Huggies
Location = app but this hits on a lot of great points. Meeting an unspoken need with Crowdsourced content with a brand you can trust. The medium (app) is perfect for the media (mobile).
Facebook’s format lends itself well to questions that spark dialogue via threaded conversations
