The highest Facebook PTAT increases in February

In February brands competed with each other, trying to reach the highest engagement with their audience on Facebook. For some brands it turned out better than others, regardless of their size and popularity. We have measured PTAT (People Talking About This) metric per brand and compared 70 different fashion brands. Here are the Facebook leaders for the last month:

  1. Zeeman                           up to 988,02% PTAT increase
  2. Neiman Marcus            up to 311,90% PTAT increase
  3. Replay                             up to 282,53% PTAT increase
  4. Bershka                           up to 253,87% PTAT increase
  5. G-Star Raw                     up to 187,90% PTAT increase
  6. Dior                                  up to 156,49% PTAT increase

You can clearly see how smaller brands can leave giants of the fashion industry far behind. For example, relatively small Dutch fashion brand Zeeman easily climbed on top of our chart twice and left behind some other big international brands.

Zeeman has presented two campaigns, which could not leave women untouched. Firstly, Zeeman has increased their PTAT up to 137% with “baby campaign”, offering clothes for newborns. But at the end of the month they scored even better with “Trouwjurkcampagne” and generated a PTAT increase of to 988,02%. By presenting a wedding dress for only ‎29,99 Zeeman is changing the stereotypes about expensive weddings. Both campaigns were presented together with TV commercials, which give a deep feeling of happiness. Zeeman is #1 in our Top 10 The highest Facebook %PTAT increases. Ride the wave, Zeeman!

Neiman Marcus was mentioned twice in our chart of the highest Facebook PTAT increases. At the beginning, Neiman Marcus generated a buzz with #NMBeautyAwards. It made women to give their votes for the favourite products, which leaded to a lot of comments, likes and shares from the fashionistas from all over the world. It gave Neiman Marcus a 132% PTAT increase.  Eventually,  they performed even better and raised their PTAT up to 173,84%, by using the latest social media tools, such as Periscope and Snapchat. Neiman Marcus gave their audience a behind the scenes look at the #NYFW. Good decision, Neiman Marcus. Entertain your audience and raise your engagement!

REMARK: Social War does measure the power of social engagement related to current fans and numbers of interaction. This means that the power and quality of posts and performance can be measured and that the huge brands and the smaller brands can be compared. It’s good to know that smaller brands can perform better than the humongous ones. Though we must also say that the brands with the biggest number of followers know very well to stay on top by supplying quality.
