Charcoal Chicken Shop
Case Study: Transforming a Charcoal Chicken Shop's Social Media Presence
Introduction: The client operates a well-established charcoal chicken shop known for its exceptional customer service and a strong base of loyal patrons. Their dedicated staff consistently go above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction. Situated in a vibrant and bustling area with high foot traffic, the business identified an opportunity to boost its online presence. The objective was to strategically develop and elevate their social media channels, with a primary emphasis on Facebook, to effectively highlight their offerings and foster engaging interactions with customers.
Challenges: Prior to utilizing our media and marketing services, the client primarily concentrated on print media and traditional marketing. This presented an opportunity to establish a presence on social media platforms. The initial challenge involved gaining insights into the business, understanding its customer base, and discerning their preferences. Furthermore, the rapid pace of the food production process necessitated the prompt creation of visually compelling content.
Strategy: Our strategy involved understanding the target audience, creating visually appealing content, and delivering beyond the promised outcomes. Despite not allocating any ad budget, we achieved fantastic results by showcasing the shop's products through high-quality photos and gaining organic followers on Facebook.
Media and Marketing Channels: We opted for Facebook as the primary channel due to its wide user base. Instagram may be considered in the future, but the focus was on maximizing the impact on the chosen platform.
Implementation: After creating a comprehensive plan, we scheduled a dedicated day for content creation, including photos, videos, and interviews. Post-production involved editing the content to align with the brand's evolving identity, and scheduling ensured a consistent online presence.
Tools and Technologies: We utilized cameras with low-light capabilities to capture the shop's ambiance. Various tools were employed during editing to enhance visual appeal and maintain consistency with the evolving brand image.
Creative Elements: The campaign incorporated the establishment of brand colors derived from the existing logo. Creative aspects involved showcasing the food's finer details, emphasizing brand identity, and connecting visual elements with the community.
Results: The efforts resulted in approximately 4000 interactions with the content, a considerable increase from their previous engagement levels. Notably, the shop experienced positive feedback from customers who explicitly mentioned discovering the business through Facebook content.
Metrics and Analytics: Key performance indicators included increased sales, content interactions, and a rise in the number of followers. The success was measured not only in immediate sales but also in the long-term impact on customer decisions influenced by online content.
Lessons Learned: Key lessons included the importance of diverse photo backgrounds for flexibility during editing and simplifying the marketing plan for better adherence. Trusting the process and adapting to the unique challenges of each business were also crucial takeaways.
In Hindsight: While the overall approach remains sound, the project highlighted the complexity of businesses, even seemingly simple ones like a charcoal chicken shop. Future initiatives will involve unpacking these complexities early, ensuring a nuanced portrayal of community involvement.
​
Future Recommendations: Based on this experience, future strategies will focus on early engagement with clients, delving into their broader community roles, and building a social media plan that reflects their unique contributions. The goal is to showcase not just products or services but also the value and positive impact businesses bring to their communities.
