Project Overview
How a fitness celebrity succeeded with Thrive’s social media marketing services
Nancy Anderson Fitness wanted to spread awareness, increase their following on Instagram and Facebook, increase participants in their monthly challenges, increase online program sales and help with new product launches.
Solution
They chose a custom “Maximize Results” package from Thrive Internet Marketing Agency, which included organic content development and a strategic paid advertising campaign. The package also included regular strategy recommendations, inbound engagement monitoring, as well as monthly analytics reporting.
Growing a social community in the fitness industry
A social media specialist with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency helped this fitness celebrity create 3-4 posts per week for their Facebook profile, as well as monitored post engagements on this channel.
Along with this content development, Thrive developed and managed an assortment of social media advertising campaigns, while A/B Testing different variations:
- Follower Growth Campaign:
Gaining followers was the purpose of these ads. They were targeted specifically to those w/ potential interest in the services and content that the advisory firm shared to their page. - Brand Awareness / Website Traffic Campaigns:
The purpose of these campaign were to spread awareness of the available and upcoming programs and challenges, and, secondarily, drive traffic to the website. The ads were targeted specifically to those who may have been interested in their brand, and segmented based on each specific program. - Remarketing Conversion Ads for Program Sales and Challenge Sign-Ups:
An intentional and thought-out strategy was put in place around each specific digital program and group challenge campaign to maximize sales and participation. - Organic Post Boosting:
“Boosting” specific branded content on Facebook and Instagram to increase the reach and engagement of the posts, turning them into a “short-term” advertisement. We targeted these boosts specifically to those who may have been interested in the particular topic or product highlighted in each piece of content.
In addition to these posts and campaigns, Thrive also systematically reviewed all comments and interaction on the company’s Facebook profile, responding to all questions and continuing conversation initiated by followers. The client was responsible for handling their own Instagram Story content and Instagram post engagement.
