Crafting a winning social content strategy

What inspires cafe owners to engage on social?

The challenge

While Lattiz® – a division of Friesland Campina – is market leader in supply of milk-foam machines to restaurants and cafés, they only had a few hundred Instagram followers and single digit likes per post.

The marketing team wanted to be more in touch their client based and understand:

  • What types of social content would connect with restaurant and café owners?
  • Which posts and accounts do they routinely follow today?  Why these?
  • How does their social media behaviour today apply to Lattiz’ content strategy?

 

 

The outcome

The Lattiz team implemented a new content strategy that doubled the number of followers to 2,000+ today, and significantly increased engagement from an average of 18 likes to posts with more than 300 likes.

The new content strategy focused on the 3 types of posts that cafe owners value most, namely posts that communicated on one of three subjects …

  • Improve staff efficiency  – Does the account give practical tips that helps staff make coffees?
  • InspInspire the team with new ideas – Show me the beautiful frappuccino!
  • Trends – Keep staff “in the know” – sharing trends and “Live action reports” from the hospitality industry.

 

The nitty gritty

  • 3 live sessions with café and restaurant owners
  • 5 questions asked for 2-3 posts they liked, and why
  • Sessions explored posts that made a difference in their day, and their business
