Editor's Notes

  1. After 2 days
  2. Determine the audience your content will resonate best with and target your posts to that audience
  3. As you can see the Helmets for Heroes and the posts pointing to the site had the most interactions. Especially shares. The Home Tips Tuesday interactions and Gutter Bowl interactions account for posts I have been doing since the end of September. The Helmets for Heroes and Posts pointing to the site include interactions from only two posts- really shows the difference in engagementIve been doing gutter bowl posts and home tips Tuesday posts for about two months now and the total engagement on the posts does not measure up to the engagement we got from the helmets for heroes and posts pointing to the site

  7. The company received 236 new Facebook Likes, which represents about a 40% increase in Likes.The website *did* receive traffic from its Facebook page in a dramatic fashion - 52 visits from the company facebook page to the website for the 30-day period beginning June 10 (when the promotion was announced) compared to 0 visits in the prior 30 days, and the pageviews increased 100% during the same time frame, plus a 62% increase in the number of visits and a 42% increase in Unique Visitors.  Visitors also increased the duration they spent on the site by 87%.Anecdotally, the VP of Professional Roofing Contractors, Jonathan Price, has said that he has received much praise from people everywhere he goes, including by paying customers who appreciate that his company is giving back to the community by awarding someone with a free roof.
  8. There were about 16 entrants in all, not as much as we had originally hoped for. However, we believe that most of the entrants were lower income and did not have access to the Internet; either friends or family submitted their names or the entrants dropped off a paper entry form with a photo attached to the contractor's office or a retail partner's location. Nevertheless, the client is extremely happy for the goodwill that the promotion generated for his company, and he is donating $500 to the United Way of Bedford County.Jo Gentle was the winner
  9. The winners husband died a month earlier from cancer – hence the references to “Mark” and the image she is holding
  10. I mentioned to the owners of Rhino that the Alburquerque Zoo had recently acquired a baby rhino from another zoo.  I recommended that Rhino Roofing look into making the baby rhino a part of their marketing strategy.  Phone calls were made, discussions were had and the zoo allowed Rhino Roofing to "adopt" the baby rhino, named 'Chopper' for $2,500.00.
