Social Media Optimization for Fashion & Apparel Client.
Introduction
The client, a prominent fashion and apparel brand, approached our digital marketing agency seeking assistance in enhancing their online presence and reaching a broader audience through social media platforms. With competitors rapidly expanding their online visibility, the client recognized the need to optimize their social media strategy to maintain their competitive edge and grow their business.
Our Challenge
From what we observed, we saw that our prospective customers liked the products. They checked the product pages, and many even added them to carts. But most of the traffic didn’t translate to conversions. People weren’t buying. Our challenge was to engage those prospects better and nudge them to buy and use the supplements. And we did so.
