Many businesses, both online and offline usually take to social media, blogging and various other methods of expressing an online presence eventually. Plumbworld was quite eager to make their mark on the internet and did this through the use of clever social media integration which allowed them to form a strong relationship with their customer base.
This base of interaction allowed the business to converse with its customers and offer them the latest deals, discounts and voucher codes to reward them for being loyal fans of the brand. On top of this, there has also been iPad and Kindle giveaway competitions hosted on the Plumbworld page and word from the marketing department would suggest there is more to come in the future.
James Cook, part of the Marketing squad at Plumbworld commented: We gave the Plumbworld page a bit of a freshen up early this week as it was looking quite dated and didnt really represent the brand as well as we wanted it to. Since the update, the page has taken on much more of a Plumbworld identity which makes people know theyre on our page as soon as they click to it. We expect more updates to the page will occur in the future as the brand continues to expand and there will most definitely be some competitions coming up… We might even be able to sneak one in before Christmas!
At current the Plumbworld Facebook page stands at 16,522 likes. Liking a page is a way for Facebook users to express social justification and let others know that a business or brand is worth dealing with and that theyve had a positive experience previously. When a user likes a page, they also become subscribed to the brand, this results in any updates being posted onto the users newsfeed which can be a valuable source of interaction, assuming the user doesnt unsubscribe or unlike the page.
The Plumbworld page offers a variety of time sensitive offers so that only subscribed users can take advantage of them. However, people must be quick as these are usually very limited and short lived think of it as a small reward for loyalty.
Sometimes its something as low key as free delivery on a bathroom mirror whilst sometimes they offer up to 50% off a best selling product. This is why it pays to keep your eyes peeled when browsing through Facebook.
