18. LESSONS LEARNED 18
• There are two segments by age, to address differently:
• young consumers that are easy to convince but easy to lose as well – focus on
relevant content
• older consumers, more difficult to reach but more loyal – use cross channel
activities
• Consumers connect with brands on Facebook mainly because they already love
them and want to stay in touch with them. Therefore “noblesse oblige” – poor
performance on Facebook may affect the brand equity
• Quantity do not replace quality: high frequency posting may turn off the
fans, especially when content is not very relevant
• Best way to keep fans connected on Facebook is to involve them. CSR
activities, product evaluation/design, games, etc. – are the type of activities that
keep fans engaged
