Social is the key.

You might be wondering, “Is social media still relevant to a modern digital brand?”

Social isn’t just relevant; it’s probably the most important part of a sustainable marketing strategy, and it’s usually the missing piece of the puzzle for brands that have plateaued and want to reach the next stage of growth.

A solid social strategy will help you:

Make Facebook your friend.

Did you know social sites don’t like you taking users off their platforms? That’s why they make it so hard to scale those ad-to-offer campaigns you run to cold traffic. So instead, use our Engage & Filter Method to segment your fans with content (which social sites love) then monetize them with offers. That’s how we dropped our CPA by 50% and got 2,000,000 free impressions.

Stand out from the competition.

The more crowded the marketplace gets, the harder it becomes to offer a product or service that’s truly unique. Most competitors can match you on price, shipping and features, but if you use content to establish your authority in the marketplace and build a community of loyal fans — like BOOM!’s 355,000 Facebook fans and 700,000-person email list — that’s something they can’t copy.

Future-proof your brand.

A brand without content is just a “business”, and a business can stop working at any time: they have no way to get repeat purchases or grow a customer base, making them vulnerable to platform updates and algorithm changes. A real “brand” has a strong email list, authority in their market, and a community of loyal fans who buy their products again and again. This makes them practically bulletproof to changes in the marketplace.

Supercharge every part of your marketing.

The results of good social marketing don’t stop at your Facebook page; it helps every part of your business including your ads, emails and website. These all rely on a stream of fresh content, and a good social strategy produces those for you. Not only did BOOM!’s social generate $2.4 million in directly attributable sales, it also provided the content for our most profitable ad and email campaigns.

Here’s the framework we added to our social strategy to generate $7.5 million worth of sales & visibility in just 12 months.

Last year, we used the I.C.O.S.A. Framework to generate $2.4 million in direct sales from organic social.

But, by leveraging this same social content in ads and emails, we generated an additional $5.1 million, bringing social media’s total impact to $7.5 million in value across the business — not bad for a 5-person team!!

5-Step I.C.O.S.A. Social Framework
STEP 1: DEFINE YOUR BRAND VOICEIdeation: Start by listening to your customers (and your data) and join the conversation they’re already having.
STEP 2: IDENTIFY MAJOR CONTENT THEMESCreation: Produce content that drives that conversation and captures customer attention.
STEP 3: MAXIMIZE CAMPAIGN VISIBILITY & IMPACT Optimization: Optimize your creative so it’s easily accessible on every platform your customers use.
STEP 4: LEVERAGE ALL PLATFORMS Syndication: Post content on all relevant channels and in all media formats.
STEP 5: SCALE THE WINNERS. UPCYCLE THE LOSERS. Amplification: Use paid ads to amplify your content to engage more customers and grow the conversation. Repeat for scale.

I.C.O.S.A. is a simple, 5-step process that turns scattered Facebook posts and ineffective tweets into a high-impact social media machine.

And the value of this framework doesn’t end with social media. This machine can be the engine that drives every department in your business.

Because not only do these campaigns produce measurable dollars for our brand, they also produce the content that we use in all of our top-performing ads and emails, as well as on our sales pages and throughout our website.

Now, we want to teach you (or your employee) how to master this framework so you can build a social team that drives substantial growth for your business.

All YOU need to do is commit to learning and implementing the material in this on-demand course.

Hi, I’m Laura!

I’m the Social Media Director for BOOM! by Cindy Joseph, an ecommerce brand that’s made over $125 million.

But I didn’t go to college for this stuff…

When Ezra Firestone hired me in 2015 I was working at Cracker Barrel — I didn’t know the first thing about digital marketing!

Back then Ezra’s startup was doing $3 million per year and he was convinced that if he was going to scale further, content would be his secret weapon. After a year working customer support, he asked if I wanted to help him. That was 2016.

By 2017, Ezra’s bet had paid off. Our new content attracted hundreds of thousands of new fans, and BOOM! exploded from $3.5 million to $16 million.
