Continue sending promotional emails to people registered to the official website.
  • #7 UsingFacebook will be a great asset to increasing brand awareness. Utilizing Facebook “like” pages allows GameStop fans to be informed of important GameStop updates and promotions such as contest giveaways.Twitter allows people to follow the brand. Similar to Facebook “like” pages, twitter followers will be able to keep up-to-date on anything the brand announces but in a slightly different way from facebook. Instagram is used for posting and sharing photos. Posting photos can give GameStop the opportunity to display game artwork, product promotional posters, contest winners etc. Like Facebook & Twitter, Instagram is also a very useful social networking website that will allow the company to interact with the target audiences.Each website has unique way to promote the brand. People like to share things they like with their friends online. The individuals that share brand content are in a sense acting as a form of free or volunteered promotion by sharing company ads. In addition, each of these social networking accounts can link-up with each other, further expanding its reach increasing brand awareness.
