How We Intend To Creatively Use Snapchat Spectacles For Business

There have been many features introduced by various social media platforms in recent times with the one talked about the most being Snapchat. The world has been buzzing about the Snapchat Spectacles that have added an opportunity for people and businesses to go crazy over creativity. Getting my hands on them and using them for a while, these spectacles have changed my way of looking at content creation. Completely changing an individual’s perspective with the wide-angle shots and automated save to the memories, the content generated I believe is a lot more interesting and engaging. The user experience is extremely immersive. Blowing my mind with the number of creative possibilities, I definitely intend on generating a lot of internal content when it comes to our routine Monday morning meetings, meetings with various clients and of course the daily start-up news. The spectacles, I believe are sure to bring a completely new perspective when it comes to working with FYA Group as every snap would help the audience feel like they are a part of the conversation per se and it works leaps and bounds when it comes to striking that connects with the viewers. Just like everything has a different side, with having fun while playing around with these spectacles at work, our clients, be it restaurant owners or fashion magazine editors can add a different perspective to their brands. We can now go behind the scenes and give the audience a tour in the kitchen and also show what’s it like to view exclusive shows in person. Many people currently underestimate the power to carry one-on-one questionnaires on Snapchat. Building a wide audience around various platforms and urging them to ask questions via Snapchat is definitely going to help us create an entire web series and deliver the experience of first-handedly answering their questions! I believe that the spectacles are going to change the look of content creation in the digital world and it’s going to be huge when it comes to execution of creativity.

Current Digital Trends Commonly Faced Problems Low CTR & High CPL As the major chunk of the budget is spent in display marketing, the number of people visiting our website is pretty low Low Lead Quality Currently, the quality of leads generated through a digital campaign is not that great as people who fill the contact form are researching about properties Lead Tracking Most of the developers either don’t use an LMS or the system they use is not up to the mark to track the lead journey Calculating ROI on Ads It takes a few months for a lead to get converted. Due to this while reviewing the campaign at the end of the month the ROI remains the same as it was in the beginning Expecting leads from a display campaign People do expect the flow of leads from each activity they do. Display campaigns work best if the objective is to create awareness as it attracts more eyeballs than sending people to the website Going beyond search Developers think that Google search ads are the only way to generate quality leads while doing digital.

We are able to generate quality leads as the conversation is initiated from the user’s side. Content Marketing Content marketing is completely being neglected when it comes to real estate marketing.  While promoting blogs, user-generated content and other forms of visual content helps in brand recall and remarketing Community Building Building an engaging community would help us in the long term as it increases the word of mouth Providing special services to our existing community and promoting the same would help us grab eyeballs and ultimately would expand our community One of the examples of community building is Raheja Care- an online portal for the residents of Raheja Universal who get special discounts on furniture Quick Tip for Social Lead Gen Our entire effort is focused on making sense of complexity in brands and products.

Thinking Social Media 101

Thinking Social Media 101

Defining an Objective It is extremely important to define what you wish to achieve from social media activations.Likes, followers, grids, posts but what is the purpose?Having a clear unidirectional objective will help in planning campaigns, media spends & make your social media activity measurable. If you don’t know where you want to go, how can anyone take you there? Planning Content Content is usually focused on communicating the what, how & why but from the audience perspective, it needs to pass the ‘So What’ test. Your post has reached them, it even made them pause & see it, but once the information is consumed, it must go beyond just being more content in their feed. Your posts may look great to you & your known circle, but does the audience care? Defining an Audience An audience may interact with multiple brands online but never become paying customers & vice versa.So who do you want to engage?Are they decision-makers?And if you even reach the decision-makers are they the ones that will take the communication further? Planning the user journey is critical to achieving success on social. Choosing kinds of Posts Informative It’s easy to assume basics about your brand, but a good digital strategy assumes nothing. So never ignore stating the basics & having a long term consumer education strategy. Engaging Not all posts will or need to go viral, but having one such activation every so often can boost brand awareness tremendously. Conversion based When you know you want to sell, be honest. Users are a lot more likely to convert when they are clear on what journey they are stepping into. This will also result in better quality leads. Knowing the Basics The Requirements A brand brief, a photoshoot, logo open files are just basic requirements to kick off the activities. A Website A website adds validation to your brand. Most users would like to see a website before actually converting. SEO Your creatives lead to engagement & curiosity around your brand,, but when they search for you on Google will your site show up? Organic Growth Organic reach & growth is dead. If you have 100 followers & you post something it will barely be seen by 12-15 people. Using your Team They are your first audience & endorsers. They need to engage, share & be the voice of your brand while maintaining basic post hygiene. Social Media Ads These are key to build a following & engagement for your brand, These can’t be skipped or avoided. Kinds of Social Media Ads Lead Generation – The Funnel Going Beyond Social Content Marketing A thought leader is always looked at with industry authority or a future-ready brand & content marketing is the way to achieve this position. Google Search SEO while effective takes a long time, so for immediate or seasonal keywords Google Search can help boost results. Google Display Banner ads have extremely low CTR but have probably some of the highest possible digital reaches, so use them tactfully. Remarketing Remarketing is simple, it tracks users engaging with the brand & goes back to them with contextual ads to push them to the conversion point. Thinking Regional  In the next 3 years close to 200 million users will come online from Tier 2 -3 cities, English isn’t going to be the language to interact with them. Thinking Audio Podcasts are an excellent way to reach a completely new audience, building a unique positioning for your brand & that content has to be repurposed across your social profiles. “Posts are not seen by users daily or chronologically. So good designs may be attractive but post specific  micro storytelling will always work better to establish a longer-term connection between the brand & the audience.” Yash Sanghvi

Current Digital Trends Commonly Faced Problems Lack of IP Infrastructure At present, the majority of the restaurants rely on 3rd party aggregators for booking and digital wallet systems Inefficient Data Management & Retargeting Restaurants generally have a feedback form, where they have the data of people visited the restaurant. But, this data is never used for the purpose of remarketing ORM Efficient ORM is greatly lacking in today’s industry as brands rarely track indirect complaints made about them. Whereas ORM can be used to convert customers unhappy with other brands Customer Retention With the growing competition in the food industry, it is difficult to bring back old customers as people want to try new things and experience new places State of Marketing Challenges Low media spendsAudience interaction online    Brand Outreach Opportunities Strong RemarketingBuild conversations onlineCustomer RetentionMicro-influencersSync offline & online campaigns Engagement Funnel Flow Micro-Influencers People who have a small but engaged audience in the digital space are called Micro-influencers.Due to the small yet engaged audience of these Micro-influencers, the impact created by their posts is higher in comparison to other influencers. We all have that one friend we go to when we need any food-related recommendation. These are people who are trusted for their genuine feedback. Micro-Influencer Campaigns Common hashtags used by these micro-influencers in their posts can then be used by the brands for tracking to initiate conversations.Going back to the posts of the micro-influencers and bring them over will help in building our community online which can then be converted.Collaborating with multiple micro-influencers and bringing their audience together at the brand’s location will provide a major boost on social media in a cost-effective manner. Community Building Micro-influencer campaigns along with the syncing of their online and the brand’s offline presence can help in bringing the community together. With the help of micro-influencer campaigns, we can target people of similar interests and engage with them in the digital space.While effectively building the brand through micro-influencers, ORM and promoting user-generated content we look to build a loyal community who would keenly interact with the brand. Sync Offline & Online Campaigns Planning a campaign in such a way that people should be encouraged to talk about the brand and their experience in the digital space.The amount of engagement we build as a brand should reflect on both the mediums.Engaging with the audience while they are at the restaurant and giving them a unique experience will encourage people to share the same on their social media platforms. Efficient Data Management The amount of data gathered in the hospitality industry is immense.It would be extremely beneficial for one’s business if one learns how to leverage this data to the fullest.Constant engagement with the data gathered by providing updates, customized offers or loyalty points can help boost one’s business.In addition to that, we can attract these people by arranging special events to build a strong community. Our entire effort is focused on making sense of complexity in brands and products. From promising startups to companies with decades of history, we create and position businesses from strategy and design to developing a complete user experience.
