Social media strategy
Starbucks' social media priorities for 2016-2017 are to increase engagement and followers. Three strategies will support this: increasing shares/likes/comments; encouraging online conversations; and publishing interactive content. Instagram receives the most interactions per post. Facebook and Twitter are the top traffic drivers but LinkedIn and Pinterest drive little traffic. The objectives are to increase comments/mentions replies and followers across platforms. Key messages are being social, responsible drinks, seasonal themes, and fun connections. Engagement and followers will be measured quarterly.
