Social media for consumer products

Consumer goods businesses seem like obvious candidates for social media marketing. Whilst this is true, many companies struggle to utilise mainstream platforms to achieve growth in sales.

Both B2C and B2B sides of consumer product businesses can thrive over social media with the right tactics in place. Here are a selection of consumer product accounts we’ve worked on.

Jewellers can see great return on investment from social media management, particularly when selling high ticket value items. The visual nature of the sector makes social media the perfect place to generate awareness of the brand and its products as well as directing traffic to the company website to buy.
