Case study: Indonesian Panggang sees increase in new fans liking their Page from 8 to 20 new likes a day

One of the biggest challenge for brands or agencies today is to get fans to join their Facebook Pages. For Indonesian Panggang outlet at NUS, a activation day started a viral effect among their fans’ friends that saw an increased in new likes a day of 8 to 20.

Indonesian Panggang Case Study

Prior to Oct 27 2010, Indonesian Panggang was only looking at an average of 8 new fans a day. Most of these new fans would join the Page when there was content updated onto the wall. Days without any content would see very little activity on their page.

The activation drive on Oct 27 2010 and we had close to 34+ new fans joining the Indonesian Panggang Facebook Pge and tapping at the cashier to get the 10% off which the stall was offering fans.

Unlike most activation campaigns which focused on new LIKES, the registration was done away from the cashier and thus the cashier require fans to tap to be recognised as a fan.

But on that day itself, there were more than 34+ fans joining Indonesian Panggang Facebook Page. A total of 88 new fans joined on Oct 27 while another 81 joined the next day.

It trickled down as the days went by, but now Indonesian Panggang now sees an average increase of 20 new fans per day with minimum postings.

What caused this increased in new fans joining the Page?

Whenever a fan taps to be identified as a fan at the cashier, it will activate a status update to show that the Facebook user has been recognized as a fan and the fan shares with his/her friends about the promotion at Indonesian Panggang.

On average, each Facebook users would have about 100 friends so each tap will result in an impression of 100. Also, each tap could spur conversation between friends about the venue.

My recent post on brands not rewarding show two comments on LinkedIN.

Wrote Joy Tang,

I also dislike Facebook pages which only offer a one-time discount as a reward for joining their Facebook page. While you do get a one-time discount, that's it. What else is there to keep me as a fan?

A digital account manager wrote,

I see so many pointless Facebook campaigns that hoard fans and then just forget about them. I think there is a tension in social media marketing at the moment between demands from consumers and clients: consumers at best want interaction with a brand (and at worst instant gratification in the form of prizes and rewards), whereas clients/brands want instant gratification in terms of large numbers of fans relative to opponents. To be honest, from what I have seen in Singapore, the client side's focus on numbers of fans always seems to win as the major KPI of campaigns - and likewise they fail to understand the importance of relationships with existing fans.

Giving brands the capability to recognise and reward fans provides them with the solution to the problems above.

Taggo allows brands to award long following fans or new likes. The instant gratification which the fan/consumer look for can be done by rewarding the fan/consumer on the spot.

Brands who are looking for numbers now have an addition medium – the fan’s Facebook wall – to get more fans for their Facebook Page. This, therefore, increases the number of customers to the venue.

Singapore radio personality in "hot soup" for reporting train delays based on Tweets?

Update - Hossan Leong has commented on this post to say " I'm not in trouble pls don't blow this out of proportion. Let it rest. It's getting silly. Thank you for your love and concern and I apologize for any misunderstanding." ~  Hossan Leong. Hossan Leong, a Singapore radio personality for The Gold Breakfast Show on Gold 90.5, was censured today for reporting on train delays on the Circle Line because he based the information on Tweets, rather than waiting for the official reports from the Circle Line operator, SMRT.  It is, however, unknown if the "warning" came from Mediacorp producers or SMRT. Tweeted Hossan Leong ,  OK...I reported it on air and now I'm getting into trouble for it?? The CC line is DOWN rite? I did nothing wrong rite? The SMRT Circle Line was reported to be down this morning during peak hours and started as early as 7am. However, local news only received official statement was received by the mainstream media at about 9...

DBS Bank – One Tweet too little too late.

(Updated post - DBS apologise with the 3Rs – Will social media bite? ) It was the bluest Monday for DBS/POS Bank in its entire banking history when more than 1000 of their ATM and online banking services were taken offline due to a software upgrade an outage (PR announced that it was down due to software upgrade, but the outsourcer, IBM, later claimed it was an outage). So on that Monday, DBS decided to sign up onto Twitter and post a 140 characters one-liner onto Twitter to post a one liner to inform the Twitterverse of the down time. Everybody knows that if you just create a new account on Twitter, you would start off with 0 friends. How would you be able to inform the Twitterverse if you start with 0 friends? DBS Bank did something smart to insert the #dbs and #posb and that probably drew some attention to this account. However, the effectiveness of the tweet was lacking as it drew only 28 retweets. As of this posting, DBS Bank attracted 274 followers. A letter to T...

New field in SocialPR: Social Media Crisis Communications

I have been busy with family for the Lunar New Year week but it seem the Singapore blog-o-sphere was active, and is still is, about recently formed Association of Bloggers (Singapore), ABS for short. To cut a long story short, the announcement of ABS via mainstream media didn’t go down well with Singapore bloggers and in the end resulted in some speculation to why ABS was set-up in the first place. A post by the ABS president defending herself against a harsh criticism from a blogger added to the bad start and created even more speculation that ABS was set-up with an ulterior motive. A week later, some founding members of the pro-team started posting up notice of resignation on their blogs and this just added fuel to fire. Again, a story of ABS appeared in mainstream media and this lead to even more disgruntled bloggers asking why the president isn’t responding via her blog or the association’s blog. I also responded to a post about the ABS incident. You can catch a summary of...
