Week 15B - Optimizing Yourself and the Company


For this assignment I decided to use my sister’s business Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/solymosibori/.  She is a clothing designer in Hungary. She doesn’t have an online store or a permanent brick-and-mortar store. She sells her clothes in a monthly pop-up store event. She uses Facebook for advertising her events.

Her Facebook business page has 530 followers. In the past one week two new people liked and started to follow her business. She only does organic posts – typically 5 to 6 posts just a few days before her pop-up store event to show a preview of her new clothes. When she posts, it reaches up to 250 people. The most reactions she receives (up to 40) are in the “other” category, which probably means people clicking through the pictures of the clothes. The second most reactions are likes, up to 22. And there are only a couple of comments. You can see a clear connection between the number of page visits and the timing of the posts. She pretty much only has visitors on her site on the couple of days of the month when she posts, just right before her event.

Her audience are 89% women, 46% are in the age group between 35 and 44, 17% between 45 and 54 and 13% between 25 and 34. This mirrors well her actual clients. Her designs are unique, one-of-a-kind,  and bold. To wear them, one would need to be a self-confident person who is not afraid to stand out from the crowd. Women in the 35-44 age group most likely already have a well-established style of their own and are not afraid to stand out. Above the age of 55, most Hungarians are still very conservative. The younger generation probably doesn’t make enough money yet to be able to afford designer clothes. An interesting thing is that the age group of 55-64 makes up 4%, but the 65+ age group makes up 7%. I think the reason for this is that our parents and the clients’ parents are in that group. Since she sells her clothes only in Budapest, it is not a surprise that the vast majority of her followers are from there.
