Whilst many lifestyle and luxury brands understand the importance of building a fan base, they often lack an engagement strategy that drives ongoing value from their loyal fans. So, whilst many well-known brands have hundreds of thousands, if not millions of followers on social networks, they suffer from a symptom known as “Deadbook”. This means that the vast majority of their fans, who may have liked their brand in the past, no longer see any of their posts, branded content or apps. Unfortunately, the relentless quest for “likes” that has been at the heart of many social strategies often results in a worthless social database.
