3. Executive Summary
• Objectives:
• Increase amount of engaging content published to social networks
• Increase brand awareness by posting interesting content and gaining followers.
• Become known as the leading/ go-to brand for collegiate and preppy apparel.
• Increase conversion rate through social media
In 2016, Pennington & Bailes will become more active on social media and increase
engagement with customers. We will do so by focusing on fewer social media accounts
and posting content that our customers will be interested in. By doing this, we hope to
drive traffic to the website and increase sales.
