Social Media Marketing for fashion in action

This has just happened today

1. My friend and colleague Samia “Likes” Pop Boutique on Facebook
2. I MSN her excitedly that I am wearing a dress from Pop Boutique today
3. I also “Like” Pop Boutique
4. I visit their website http://www.pop-boutique.com/ from Facebook, browse a bit and add myself to the mailing list
5. Samia has visited the London store and can’t place where the Leeds one is, so I go to Google Maps and use the Streetview to show her where it is.  Samia plans a shopping trip.
6. I write up this piece and post in on our blog
7. I tweet about this
8. I add it to my Facebook
9. Samia and I discuss Pop Boutique some more – we are both planning shopping trips
10. BINGO – Social Media Marketing for fashion definitely works…

PS – We are not connected to Pop Boutique in any way, shape or form – we are just fans.

PPS – We are more than happy to hear from anyone from Pop Boutique if they would like to get in touch ;)

Are multiple or ‘batch’ tweets worth it?
