In our analyses, we are looking for
brands' posting patterns
– what’s repetitive in phrases and the ways different companies
communicate. And most of all, we want to
check if specific words and type of posts have
the influence on how do the fans react.
- one of the most important truths in any
interactive activity

We’ve checked over 111 UK fanpages from different industries:
 Clothing  Cars
 Food & Beverages  Cosmetics & Hygiene
and analyzed over 2852 different posts.
What is the outcome?

It shouldn’t be a surprise, that what
companies use the most are the
‘call to action’
words
Of course, depending on the fanpage subject, the words differ.
‘watch’, ‘like’, ‘look’ ‘click’
appear very often, no matter the line of business company is from.
What is significant, using catchy words in posts doesn’t seem to rise
much more engagement , probably because fans are getting
insensible for constantly repeated phrases.

Interactivity idex – average vs. win
Average interactivity index Interactivity index "win"
Surprisingly even Win! doesn’t bring
too much buzz, only in Cosmetics &
Hygiene fans react more when there’s
something to win, ‘get’ or on sale.

In the food fanpages, words
attracting the attention of fans,
often refer to emotions
- ‘like’, ‘love’, ‘good’, ‘favorite’, ‘happy’
have highest rate of user engagement.
Fans of clothes brands are more
trends and subject-concentrated
- with ‘fashion’, ‘style’, ‘collection’ on
the top.

Quite popular are references to the external websites: ‘WWW’,
‘http’, ‘com’, ‘blog’ are frequently used words, especially in Cosmetics and Food &
Beverages.

Text? Not necessarily ! - visually mediated society
Clothes industry shows that
you don’t need a playful
status to engage thousands
Topshop wins with competition
and attracts 28k users just with
photos. Only 25th post receiving
highest interactivity index has
been a status post.
