Keys to success

Use custom hashtags to start a conversation

iCLOTHING created two Tweet engagement campaigns centered around the hashtags #iWant and #iWear. For #iWant, users were asked to Tweet a photo of a celebrity outfit, and iCLOTHING would respond to the Tweet with a matching outfit from their store. With #iWear, users were asked to share a photo of themselves in an outfit featuring iCLOTHING pieces. These hashtags kicked off colourful conversations and gave iCLOTHING great user-generated content they could then spotlight on Twitter.

Test different creative elements

iCLOTHING used different types of photos in their Tweet engagements campaigns and monitored performance closely. Through their testing it became clear that authentic, ‘real life’ images received much higher engagement rates than the more stylised images of professional bloggers and models that were used initially. As soon as it was evident that these images were higher performing, they were used across the campaign. 

Reach users who have visited your website

To reach users who had already shown a strong interest in their products, iCLOTHING used tailored audiences to target Twitter users who had visited their website, made purchases, or added items to their online basket. This helped iCLOTHING reach the most relevant audiences at a time when they were already primed to purchase.
