We just completed a hugely successful social media campaign for one of our clients that I wanted to share because it is a perfect example of how staffing firms can benefit from social media.
The goals of the campaign:
- To gather feedback and testimonials from current and former clients and contractors.
- To build followers on LinkedIn
Tactic:
- iPad giveaway promotion to clients and candidates
- Clients and candidates need to simply follow the clien on LinkedIn and share feedback
- Promote giveaway on LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and in various emails sent through HaleyMail
Results:
LinkedIn Followers:
– Started on 2/10/11 with 160 followers
– As of 4/25/11 there are 484 followers
LinkedIn Recommendations:
– Started on 2/10/11 with 0 recommendations
– Currently have 162 recommendations
In addition to the core focus of driving followers and recommendations on LinkedIn, the contest also generated additional value in other areas:
Facebook:
– Started on 2/10/11 with 70 “Likes”
– Currently at 192 “Likes”
Blog:
The client has also received a tremendous amount of recommendations on their blog.
