For Luxury Brands, Instagram Blows Pinterest Away | MediaPost

For Luxury Brands, Instagram Blows Pinterest Away | MediaPost | Top Social Media Tools | Scoop.it

A new report on prestige brands says that Instagram is the Superman of social media, especially in terms of engagement.


“Instagram has demonstrated more traction than any other platform in 2013, and it registered the strongest year-on-year growth among mobile apps,” says Scott Galloway, founder of L2, a think tank for digital innovation, in its report. And with its clear strategy for monetization and “continual innovation, it's an obvious choice for consumer brands.”


The survey of 249 luxury brands finds that 93% are currently on Instagram, up from 63% in July of last year. And while it is just one-tenth the size of Facebook (which acquired it back in 2012), it has 15 times the level of user engagement that Facebook does. And Pinterest, about a third of Instagram’s size, has only about a third of the level of engagement that Instagram users do. All that “makes Instagram arguably the best tech acquisition of the past five years.”

Good read for visual content marketers.

6 Tools for Personalizing Marketing in the Digital Era

6 Tools for Personalizing Marketing in the Digital Era | Top Social Media Tools | Scoop.it

In an age of automated everything, is it possible to put a personal touch to your marketing? Of course--even though customers are used to sites like Amazon and Pandora where they can get everything they need easily without ever talking to a person. Fortunately, businesses evolve right along with consumer demands. As the head of a marketing department, it's your job to research and adopt the right technology to make your company as effective as possible. Marketing automation isn't going anywhere, but that doesn't mean your entire marketing approach has to be robotic.

No matter what, customers want to feel like they matter, like they're heard, and like there's a real person on the other end of that transaction. Recently, Help Scout, which is also a really cool customer service tool, released a report on the "personalization" of marketing. It reveals that 70 percent of final purchases are dictated by how a person feels they're being treated as a customer....

Q4 bookings of $275,000 or more
Sell 25 of any Product
Sell 10 of Product A
Sell 4 of Product B in Q3
Sell 4 of Product B in Q4
