As a supplier of mouth-watering afternoon tea – delivered complete with silverware, sandwiches with the crusts cut off and a basket full of traditional English treats – Pryer’s Afternoon Tea delivers an indulgent experience to homes, businesses and even boats in the Portsmouth area. Pryer’s Afternoon Tea already had a good following on its Facebook page, but wanted to engage this audience to encourage discussion.
Outline Strategy
Having developed an excellent reputation, much of Pryer’s Afternoon Tea’s business was mainly through word of mouth – we wanted to use this to increase the company’s brand awareness through social media and, more importantly, increase its bookings for Mother’s Day.
Facebook seemed like a natural platform to reach and educate the local audience for whom this wonderful product and service was available, so in the four weeks running up to Mother’s Day, we ran a short Facebook promotion using Pay with a Post, our own Facebook promotional application, giving away afternoon tea for four people with winners randomly drawn from entries.
No budget was spent on ads, with our Social Media Specialists only using an existing email database and free Facebook posts advertising the competition to existing fans.
