Desires Your friends won’t know that what you’ve purchased is gently used, but they will notice how many nice things you’re wearing now!
Positioning Statement A positioning statement documents how a product or service is to be positioned in the mind of the consumer relative to competitive products. Combine a positioning statement with value proposition statements to describe how you will relay your messages to your customers. The very best value in the brands you love We provide you with the very best value in women’s clothing, shoes, accessories and designer purses. At Clothes Mentor, you can buy the most sought-after brands “gently used” in like-new condition for about 70% off of mall store prices, and you won’t have to wait for sale events either. That kind of value is available every day in our stores. Your friends won’t know that what you’ve purchased is gently used, but they will notice how many nice things you’re wearing now!
Additional Value Propositions What other things make you different. List out statements such as: We pay you cash The very best value Why pay mall prices when you can pay our “gently used” prices?

Network Size: Facebook Likes Content Quality: Facebook Engagement Stats / Brand Messaging Checks Coupon Redemptions, etc. Outline which of these metrics to follow as your Key Performance Indicators.
Assess Staff Who can help me with this? Often times campaigns start with one person, but there is help all around you. When you are ready to include more people to help in your program this documentation will help. The first step is to understand the different types of communications that will be delivered through these channels and the talent needed for each type.

Editorial Calendar What will you say? Establishing an editorial calendar of the types of posts you will be making will help you to keep your content stream flowing and can allow you to add an approval process to your posts by scheduling into the future using tools such as HootSuite or Wordpress. Types of posts for your calendar: process-based, short-cycle weekly post types, long-cycle posts around annual calendar.
Editorial Calendar What you say in Facebook should accurately represent your store, organizing your updates helps you to stay on point. Types of calendar listings: Process-Based Posts are posts surrounding repeated actions you take in your store: New employees, new products available, regular in-house events. Short-Cycle Posts are similar to columns in a newspaper. You can feature the latest fashion trends on particular days or items for your next get-together with the gals(covering current products on the floor). Long-Cycle Posts are connected to the annual calendar. Do you have yearly events or attend particular trade shows? Can you connect holidays to your posts?

Scheduling Posts Native Facebook does not provide scheduling capabilities. Here are two solutions for scheduling posts: HootSuite is a program for managing your social media programs. You can schedule posts ahead of time and manage multiple contributors. http:www.hootsuite.com
Scheduling Posts We often suggest a using a Wordpress powered Web site has your social media hub and the source for your approved content streams. WordPress is a program for managing your social media programs on multiple channels. Also allows for scheduling of posts. Connect your RSS feed or others with your Facebook page through RSS graffiti. http:www.marketsmartsites.com http://apps.facebook.com/rssgraffiti/
Scheduling Posts
Going Mobile The phones we see most often used are iPhone, Android or Blackberry You can post updates including photos from the native iPhone app and can always resort to your private posting email address for phones with cameras and email. Private email available by clicking on edit page in top right, then mobile on left menu. HootSuite has apps available for iPhone, iPad and Android Phone.
Other Tools Twitter: You can connect your Facebook account with Twitter at: http://www.facebook.com/twitter WordPress and other blogging platforms: Any RSS feed can be added to your content stream with RSS Graffiti. Email Marketing: Some email systems can be tapped into your content stream. Local Social Media Channels: Promotions can be run through mobile channels like FourSquare and reviews can be forwarded to Yelp! Tip! Creating a landing page can increase the effectiveness of your campaigns.
Building a Strong Network Grow your network from the inside out, building on your most vocal advocates first and moving out from there. By harnessing those that love you most you are building your network on a solid foundation. There are different approaches to reaching any of these groups.
Building a Strong Network Friends and Family, Staff and Associates Use Facebook to share your page with you friends, periodically share posts from your Facebook page to your personal wall. Write a Memo to staff or draft an email to your personal email list inviting them to the page and demonstrating how to share it.

Use Facebook Advertising and your target market notes to develop targeted ads to attract new “likes”. Make posts worth sharing: good content means viral “likes”.
Advertising on Facebook Tips for using Facebook Advertising Use your brand planning worksheet to target your ads to your best customers. If they are women who like Prada or Gucci , are 17+ , and live within 25 miles of your store, only show the ad to them. Set your budget, then refine the market size so your ad will be seen 10 times by each possible customer. We like to run campaigns on cost per 1,000 views. Use the reporting available to track your campaigns and repeat/expand successful ones. Tip! Creating a landing page can increase the effectiveness of your campaigns.
