Posters generally include minimal information like the band name, album name, and release date to encourage further research.

Editor's Notes
The keywords used to find this Facebook page were Alt-J, Band, and Facebook fan page. The URL for this page is https://www.facebook.com/altJ.band . The reason this band page was chosen was because of how they stood out from other band pages. We visited a few other fan pages such as Local Natives, Everything Everything, and the Jonas Brothers but they lacked creativity in the images they used. This page stood out from the other pages through their use of powerful images which are included everywhere above the fold. Another unique feature which made this Facebook page more attractive was the fact that in most posts they include images and these images are immediately uploaded into their photo section of the profile. The effect of this is the customization of their profile above the fold and allows the page to look different based on what recent pictures have been uploaded. The audience for this Facebook page is primarily made up of young adults. While the band has a large group of American followers it is very noticeable that the majority of their followers are located in Europe. Their audience consists of an even mix between males and females. The majority of their followers are social media savvy and are comfortable using different modes of social media interaction. Their audience has discretionary income and time which is why the interactivity of their Facebook page can be successful in appealing to their audience. The strategy they incorporated on their Facebook page was to use relevant posts to gain their brand awareness. A large amount of their posts were designated to keep fans up to date what is going on in the daily lives of the band. Something which they incorporated very well into their Facebook band page was to give updates using pictures of where they are at on their tour. This is something to keep users involved so that whether they have recently gone to a show, plan on going to a show, or just want to check out the band they can go to their Facebook page and get daily updates. The way this band makes money is through ticket, cd, and apparel sales. They do not overload viewers with reminders to buy their cd, but they are able to incorporate cd, tour, and apparel information into their posts without overloading their fans. The example of this is in the picture in the right bottom corner, their post was simple to announce their apparel line but the post has the click through option for fans who want to purchase this apparel.
D. The tactics they used on their Facebook page were the use of colorful photos, exclusive videos, the featured fan or fan who stands out the most, and direct fans to their website. They are able to provide colorful photos to display on their Facebook page in which some of their photos like the one above relate to their band logo while other photos are of them touring. They are effective at embedding videos of their music onto their band page and one way in which they increase the views and shares of these videos is how they release a variety of exclusive tracks or studio versions. This is an effective way to reach their audience because most of their fans have likely heard the album version of their music and by using Facebook they cross promote their album by releasing unique new content. E. The quality of the posts range on how many times they post on a given day. If they post multiple times in a day, some may be irrelevant and short; however, the majority of their posts are engaging and are often linked to outside content not on Facebook. This has pro and cons because while they are able to promote with other companies and expand their distribution stream, they can also isolate fans who do not wish to leave Facebook or click on unverified links. F. They post frequently which could be directly linked to the fact that they are currently on tour. While they are on tour they have a multiplicity of topics which they can engage their fans and they take advantage of their experiences while touring. It would be interesting to see how often this band would post if they were in the process of creating a new cd or were on a break from touring. Their frequent posts are effective because it gets their followers to come back to their page often to get the latest scoop. It is noticeable that the band has a following of fans who comment and post on the band page frequently and these individuals serve as the gate keepers to share exciting stories and engage new fans. G. The major differences between the two pages were how often they posted and the frequency they attempt to market their brand. Guided Voices have a more die hard following that resonates on their Facebook page; however, Alt-J ties in their marking more strongly within their page and actively tries to promote their fans.
What keywords you used & URLs of the 2 Facebook Pages, screen shots of above-the-fold on the TimelineGuided By Voices – simple search “Guided By Voices + Facebook”, knew what band I wanted, and it popped up as the first link.However, there is a fan page – with the exception of 10,000 less fans and far less people “talking about it”Above the fold screen shot –A shot of the new LP out in November “Bears for Lunch”Focus is mainly on the odd looking Native American man starring wide-eyed directly at the user.Eerie, but captivatingAudience. DescribeAudience obviously consists of Guided By Voices fans, plus those who are visiting the page for the first time through word of mouth, or any other recommended source.According to their statistical analysis, the largest age group is 25-34 years old w/ Los Angeles being the Most Popular city.Facebook strategy(s) used and note if effective. Be sure to answer the question “why is this person/company communicating on Facebook?” I.e. what is in it for them – support of product sales? How does it tie to revenue, etc. Communication & Selling:They have recently reunited, releasing 3 LPs this year. Their communication is to share tour dates, release dates, pre-orders, reissued vintage shirt designs (from the 90s), and even solo music by certain band members. All posts have a great percentage of likes to the # of people who liked the page. Interaction is immediate and effectiveThey are efficient with the proper links to take you straight to the store, complete with speedy and feasible payment/checkout.
Facebook tactics used and note if effective or not. Describe.With communication, they provide interesting links. i.e. their recently established Instagram page, complete with the logo in the lens of the camera.They use the tour dates app, easing the users experience in discovering when they are playing their vicinity. They highlight proper sections of their timelinei.e. Rolling Stones’ recent review of their new track “She Lives in an Airport”They use high quality pictures of their re-released shirts and album art, with sensible picture stylei.e. models wearing the shirtsPosts – comment on the quality, content & engagement of postsIt seems like they don’t even ask for much engagement, but nevertheless receive a great deal of it.I believe they could up their engagement and likes if they posted at more appropriate times (peak hours).The page is run by the band, who are probably not the most knowledgeable marketers.What is the frequency of the posting? Effective or not and why?They have good posts, however, they clutter them all into one day instead of spreading them out at peak hours of the day throughout the most interactive days of the week (Monday – Thursday).This is ineffective and makes it difficult for fans to check the page regularlyAnalyze the differences in the 2 Pages Alt J definitely has a wiser sense of timing the posts and spreading them out.Guided by voices might have a more dedicated cult following, but they are not fully taking advantage of it through their marketing efforts.
