Success Story: Today’s Moms
Today’s Moms ranked 1,026,027 in Amazon book sales before TrakVu’s six-week social networking campaign. After the campaign, Today’s Moms reached 107 on Amazon. Starting at an equally obscure sales rank on Barnes & Noble, Today’s Moms reached #1 in the Barnes & Noble Infant & Toddler category and #5 in the Parenting category after completion of TrakVu’s social networking campaign.
TrakVu first tested the data collected from the Monitor & Report phase during a book give-away on Saturday, March 14. In that give-away, Today’s Moms trended to #6 on Twitter.
We used that result to plan the next phase of the campaign – Twitter invites or “Twites” on March 24th and April 17th where the authors would interact from their living room through Twitter and real-time streaming-video with their readers and anyone else interested in tips for working mothers during that first year after your first birth. Beyond the topic at hand, the on-line attraction included more book give-aways Tweeted at strategic intervals throughout the party.
Awareness Metric: Today’s Moms trended to #6 on Twitter during book give-away on March 14: Trended to #1 on Twitter by the conclusion of Twitter party on March 24th.
In the next step, TrakVu added an on-line audience to the on-site guest-list attending a promotional breakfast at Rockefeller Plaza to discuss the book. We invited the on-liners to watch the party through Twitter and real-time streaming video and to ask questions of guests that included NBC News reporter Natalie Morales and Sarah Ferguson, The Duchess of York. We again periodically Tweeted give-aways, this time including sponsored products like a Teutonia baby-carriage.
The result: An army of advocates. Moms from both the on-site and on-line guest-list became very helpful supporters of the book and what is now becoming the Today’s Moms brand, extending to speaking appearances by the authors and the possibility of a regular TV segment.
