Clearwater-based marketing
firm, PostcardMania, created social media buzz that yielded measurable results
when they opened voting on Facebook for their annual company-wide costume contest
this Halloween.
Once again, they proved to
know just what works in the world of marketing. Ferris Stith, PostcardMania’s
Social Media Manager, excitedly reports their success: “At 12:30 pm contest day
we had 928 fans. By 3:30 pm we had 1,030 fans. Since the contest on Friday, our
average daily ‘likes’ has gone from 0-1 to 4-5 per day.”
While part of the success
was sure to stem from the marketing genius behind the idea, a good deal must be
credited to the inventive and impressive costumes exhibited by the 160-person
staff, showcasing such team efforts as Alice in Wonderland, The A Team, Jersey
Shore (complete with spray tans), and the winner, Saturday Night Live — all
costume pictures can be seen here: http://www.postcardmania.com/chris/halloween/costumes/costumes.html.
Founder and CEO Joy Gendusa
says, “It really proves that our brand goes beyond business…our company culture
is one of the reasons people choose us. We are hard-working, smart and know how
to get the job done — but we know how to have a good time, too.”
Gendusa says she plans on
hosting more events like this one through their social media platforms.
The proof’s in the
Halloween pudding.
