CONTENT MARKETING IDEA

This is a student-concept for a Sheridan Pilon School of Business Digital Marketing Course

Our concept would be to promote Lindt chocolate in Mississauga. Back to school would be the theme as in winter session when the school starts a lot of students for different semester joins school. Our strategy would be to have game days every once a week where we would have different set of games throughout the 14 week and as gifts we would be giving exclusive Lindt goodies. We would try to have a company sponsor us to give more presents as well.
As the weeks pass by we will have one of our team member to keep our events up to date every week on Sheridan’s social media pages by collaborating with the Sheridan team. On Instagram, Facebook and twitter we will have numerous of posts. Lindt has more flours which everyone like. We will try having one of our stalls in the cafeteria where during break times students can come and purchase them.
At the end of 13th and 14th week we will have a customer appreciation evet. Where we will bring our students during those weeks and have different event to set up. We will have open mic nights, game nights, movie nights etc. to promote Lindt. We will be offering the chocolates in those last two weeks of semester for a special discount which only if they arrive at Sheridan and get from cafĂ© the students will be able to get. This way all the Sheridan students’ friends that they have outside Sheridan or example family or work friends they can gather them and invite them to our events. This way Lindt’s popularity would increase twice and everyone would be excited to participate.

FAN PAGES OF LINDT AND HERSHEY'S

HERSHEY:

   HERSHEY CHOCOLATE WORLD PA: 


This page isn’t a fan page as but a page of a sweet shop in Pennsylvania who promote the chocolate at their shops. They sell the real Hershey brand chocolates in their shop and are very famous there. Their rating overall is 4.6 and they have 4k likes.

This seems to be a fan page where the chocolate brand is promoted. They have 4000 followers and equal amount of likes. Doesn’t seem to be much popular although. In this page usually they provide all fun facts about Hershey’s to give interesting info to the customers and excite them more to buy more from the brand. This seems to be perfect word of mouth in social media marketing. As lots of consumer tend to share the information then and start noticing the brand more often.


LINDT:


This is Lindt chocolate world page where they are promoting all countries Lindt in this page. The page has total of 3k likes only and its posts generally contain of different flavors introduced and festive seasons posts. 

LINDT CHOC UK: This is Lindt chocolate UK page which again isn’t verified. Looks like a page which is made to promote the brand. It has total of 400k following and same amount of people liking it too. It posts contains of Lindt chocolates small video clips and the different kinds of Lindt introduced. 

LINDT CHOC RUSSIA: This web ape is based on Russia in its capital Moscow. The webpage wants to give the Russians their culture feeling due to which they have made the webpage in Russian. They have total of 14k likes and their posts are also pretty frequent. They post about variety of chocolates they have, the new ones introduced etc. 
To summarize as imagined, the chocolates brands did not have much of fan pages available on social media. There were numerous of infamous pages which didn’t had much to show and much followers as well. The country pages only were the one which had proper information of brand and wanted customers to follow their pages.

Lindt Vs Hershey’s: YouTube


Hershey again beats Lindt with its popularity on YouTube. Hershey’s own 11,604 subscribers with 106 videos whereas Lindt has 308 subscribers with 804 videos. Hershey’s frequency of videos are much up to date compared to Lindt. The recent video Hershey posted was a day ago while for Lindt it was a month ago. Seems like Lindt tries to focus more on Facebook twitter than on YouTube while on other hand Hershey tries to balance all social media platforms. Let’s see what each brand posts on their channels
  • ·         S’mores chocolate advertisement videos
  • ·         Special edition of kisses chocolates videos
  • ·         Holiday edition advertisements
  • ·         Baking videos etc.
  •     Swiss chocolates more flavors edition
  • ·         Holiday drinks recipes with chocolate
  • ·         DIY video clips for holiday seasons including making centerpieces or wreath etc.
  • ·         Hand crafted chocolate videos
  • ·         Unique flavors and kinds of recipes for example flour less torte recipe, toffee and dark choc recipes etc.


Comparing the content of each brands YouTube videos Hershey gives a more commercial video promoting and endorsing its each new chocolate arrival brands with new and different kinds of commercials and on the other hand Lindt seems much more to give a personal impact to the viewers by giving them new ideas to make or to present and by giving them homely flavors. 


The most popular video of Hershey’s is called Hershey’s kisses Family edition where they show a small single family enjoying kisses chocolate during their movie night. This video has total of 1.9 k views with only 5 likes. It’s more viewed than any other videos maybe because of the new Hershey flavors introduced. On the other hand Lindt most popular one is called The Lindor Countdown. It’s surprising how the DIY videos or recipe videos has less views compared to a video which has pouring chocolate on it. I guess this means that at that time people had more excitement of the lindor to come and launch in the market due to which it was pretty popular.

Lindt Vs Hershey on Twitter

On twitter as well Hershey seems to have more fan following with over 6k followers and 16.4k tweets, and Lindt on the other hand has 373 followers with only 2.7k tweets. Let’s compare and see what each brand has on its page:

Hershey’s:

  • ·         Wish post of valentine days to customers with their custom chocolates.
  • ·         New emoji’s promotion on their pages.
  • ·         Retweets of different magazine posts where Hershey’s is mentioned.
  • ·         Advertisement video clips of new chocolate flavors introduced.

Lindt:

  • ·         Last minute gift posts for valentine days on their page
  • ·         Varieties for recipes link for the season.
  • ·         More than 15 posts in a row promoting valentine day’s chocolates and other goodies.
  • ·         New flavors introduced posts.

While going through each brands noticed that although popularity of Hershey’s is more but Lindt tweets more often. This shows they are stepping up their game of promotion. This valentine days Hershey barely had two posts wishing its consumers whereas Lindt promoted their chocolates and gifts more than 20 times.  That’s why I feel Lindt follows the 50/50 rule much more compared to Hershey’s. The most recent post for Lindt and Hershey both was regarding the valentine day’s one where they each promoted their chocolates and gifts they are offering.

Hershey’s most popular posts was the ad where they launched their new cookie crunch flavor in their chocolate bar. The video got more than 1.2k retweets and around 800 likes. The video is made in Spanish language but with English subtitles. It promotes the culture as well, due to which I feel why it was more popular.




And on other hand Lindt most popular one was the boxing week promotion they had. They extended their time period till 29th and gave 60% off on all Christmas items and 40% off gift boxes. Although it went pretty good promotion for them but I think because the Lindt follows 50/50 rule more on twitter due to which its likes and retweets aren’t that much on their posts. On the this post it’s only retweeted twice with 5 likes.

Lindt Vs Hershey: Facebook

Both the pages look very strong on Facebook Lindt and Hershey’s both are equally verified on the Facebook page. Coming to the followers while Lindt is following behind with only 1.5M likes, Hershey’s is racing ahead by achieving over 9M likes. Let’s compare the posts each of the brand posts on regular basis.

 Hershey’s:

  • ·         Short video clips of their signature peanut chocolates.
  • ·         Recipes of cookies with the chocolate filling
  • ·         Unique flavors introduced for example sea salt flavor of donuts.
  • ·         Baker of the week contests with cupcakes, cookies, and cakes depending on season or festive going on.

Lindt:

Although Lindt is behind with popularity on pages it’s trying its best to promote. Their posts are much frequent and provide different kinds of information. For example:
  • ·         Posts regarding current situation for example today’s valentine days post.
  • ·         Promoting the valentine day season since last week by clips of heart shaped chocolates.
  • ·         DIY links to have perfect gifts for different occasions.
  • ·         20% of promo on valentine day with customized box of chocolates.
  • ·         Recipes of unique ice cream cookies.

Most followed and popular posts on Hershey’s would be their Baker of the week contests by trending #bakeon their page. Each week they post a specific dessert with rules and allows different contestants to participate for a chance to win a baker prize package. Posts like these of Hershey’s receives around 115 likes and more than 65 likes and 10 comments. People seem to enjoy this and posts their pics on comments. This is one of the way how Hershey’s promote on Facebook. The reason behind its success for these events was because these days millennials are more into baking are like to make creative items, so it’s a challenge for them when companies ask them to do this and at the same time if they give something in return!


Comparing Lindt to Hershey’s,Lindt surprisingly has more followers and more likes on its posts. The most popular one is its festive posts and the most recent one would be its valentine posts which they had contest to post before day asking its consumers feedback on how they celebrate it with their friends. And whose answers they like the best would receive two Lindt boxes with 550 chocolates each. This received a lot of popularity and received total of 4.7k likes,22 shares and 944 comments in total. This was more successful as the receiver who wins prize are getting something different that even company doesn’t sell on regular basis this excites the customers and makes them more engaged to win and participate!
