Marketing Strategy
Best Reasons To Be On Facebook
1). (obviously) Everyone is on Facebook! It is where people spend their time.
Note: 80% of Facebook traffic is from a mobile device
2). Micro Targeting craft beer drinkers through Facebook’s information and data
Frothy Beard’s Approach to Facebook
- Content driven
- Posting everyday
- Embodies the brewery’s (and ownership’s) personality
- Be authentic and transparent
- Work from a weekly content calendar
Facebook Event Page
If the event includes a partner, for example a band or food truck, leverage the partner’s Facebook audience by posting there.
Facebook Groups
Right now, posts in a Group page get seen by 100% of the Group’s members. Posts show up in Notifications.
Facebook Live
Live streaming video broadcast
Unlike a recorded video, people can interact with you by Like and asking questions in the Comment box
At the start of a broadcast an immediate Notification goes out, for example, “Frothy Beard Brewing is Live right now! Click here to see it.”
Content Strategy
Frothy Beard’s goal is a minimum of 3 pieces of content per day.
Mix it up: memes; graphically designed; video.
Review to see the types of posts your audience Likes
Posts include some type of image our brand.”
The Frothy Beard Brewery brand:
A character named Finnegan was created. And they wanted this character to go on a journey. He is seen throughout the brewery and on different merchandise going through adventures. The brand is geeky and fun!
The Frothy Beard Brewery logo was created by Tami Boyce, a local Charleston artist.
Notable quote from the interview:
“Everybody has a media company in their pocket. Unlike a decade ago you now have a video camera, you have a photography camera, you have the ability to capture content and literally blast it out it to the entire world for basically free.”
Examples mentioned by Wesley
Frothy Beard’s new location is a former church. To celebrate they brewed a saison and named it Holy Water.
Strapped for Time?
When push comes to shove, do you feel robbed of doing your best work by competing priorities?
