Social Media Monitoring Project, Part Two.

This blog post is again about Whole Foods. We discuss their social media connection, analyze this company, and conclude with several recommendations for the brand in order to further leverage its social media presence. 

Whole Foods is a huge company in the United States, with hundreds of locations and thousands of employees. At Whole Foods Market®, "healthy" means a whole lot more. It goes beyond good for you, to also encompass the greater good. Whether you're hungry for better, or simply food-curious, we offer a place for you to shop where a value is inseparable from values. 

In the first part, we have examined the presence of Whole Foods in social media in detail. Here is a short review of the company's social media presence in general in particular with a couple of examples and comparisons.

                                                      "365 By Whole Foods Market"

   On June 2015, the company announced a millennial-focused, and more affordable version of its regular stores, called "365 By Whole Foods Market". In addition to using digital price tags, in-store communication will largely be done through a smartphone app. In addition, the stores will have the goal of zero waste, donating all leftover food and using LED lights, as well as carbon dioxide-powered refrigeration cases. Jeff Turnas is president of the division.


Let's have a look.

They don't have a Pinterest or Google+ like Whole Foods, therefore we can't make a comparison for those two markets.



Feedback





They always answer on its main social media such as FB and Twitter. Actually, their Twitter most popular social media for them and have a good feedback.

Analytics. 
This is a data for a post by social network and by Week day. According to statistics, the time between at 2 p.m - 4 p.m. is the best time to post on FB and Twitter. We can see here that the  highest activity occurs between 8p.m - 10p.m.






As we said before Twitter  is most popular social media for 365 by Whole Foods Market. Most attractive content is pictures

This comparing between Whole Foods and 365 by Whole Foods market. 



Recommendation.


 The stuff of Whole Foods is able to explain the services that they offer to everybody in their social media. They feel that there is a personal connection with the customers. After monitoring 365 by Whole Foods, we can understand that they are prepared to respond to consumers on social media. They understand that consumers use all of the social media platforms to ask questions and complain. But a couple of points can complicate this work. I recommend that they improve it. For example, since this company does not have a Goodle+ or Pinterest, we can’t make a comparison with Whole Foods. Their feedback is good for Facebook, but for other social media pages, it is low.  In General, I think it's very clear for management of Whole Foods and 365 by Whole Foods how to use social media and tap this kind of engagement.
